Footprint library table improvements.

* Add save table and set project path environment variable code to
  FP_LIB_TABLE object.
* Add code to Pcbnew and CvPcb to set project path environment variable.
* Create empty footprint table in Pcbnew when new board created.
* Save current project specific footprint library table to path on file save
  as or empty project path.
* Fix a bug in Pcbnew in file save function that would silently overwrite
  an existing board file.
* Disable selecting the current library in the module editor when there are
  no libraries defined.
* Catch exceptions and report errors when writing footprint library tables.
* Fix Boost build CMakeFile to fix bug when bootstrapping a Boost build in
  MSys.
