Vias show soldermask openings in 2D which doesn't match gerber

Vias in 2D view have soldermask openings by default but they shouldn't. Vias should be covered by soldermask by default, and then users can override this in special cases when they want. It's a shorting risk to have them not covered with soldermask.
Interestingly, the gerber export doesn't include the soldermask openings on the vias (which is good, that's what we want) but that doesn't match what we show in 2D. So we should fix the 2D view to remove the soldermask openings for all vias (on top and bottom).
3D view matches gerber preview for ground fill vias but they don't match for trace vias because we're showing soldermask openings for all traces, which we should fix eventually but is separate.

Vias have solder mask on top of them

Vias have solder mask, but really shouldn't. There's no good reason to expose all vias to the air. Also, we only do this for the top of vias, but not the bottom.
