This pull request enhances the QFSAE PCB project template. The PR adds two view configurations to the template, Top View and Bottom View. Each configuration sets polygon opacity to 60% and hides the other signal layer. For example, you cannot see the contents of the bottom layer while Top View is selected and vice versa for Bottom View. Below is a screenshot of Top View enabled.

The polygon is opaque, allowing the track routing to be easily visible without shelving polygons. The same goes for Bottom View, which is shown below.

Note that Bottom View also enables the View From Bottom Side option in Altium so text and other items do not appear backwards. To switch between the views, use the drop down menu in the View Configuration panel of Altium as shown below:

Another (more accessible) way to switch views is using the dropdown at the bottom of the view left of the layer pickers:

Reminded me to create #54, we should centralize our workflow knowledge base into the repo wiki. This looks good to go for now, good job!

We should remember to include this way of changing views in the Wiki.
