the DIALOG_EXPORT_STEP uses a auto saved copy of the current board to
create the step file (using kicad_cli).
But this file is not associated to a corresponding .kicad_pro file, and
this can create some issues (like the KIPRJMOD not defined)
So create a copy of the current board prj to export associated prj file
to the auto saved board file.

Fixes https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/-/issues/16973
- fix duplicate code and a few bugs (some are due to changes in code over the years)
- ADDED: option to export tracks and vias on external layers Exporting tracks is *very* time consuming,
and need a bit of optimization.
For some reason, escaped double quotes in wxString::Format cause issues
on Mac. We can replace them with single quotes in most places without
loss of clarity
Note that the dialogs which have mutliple options were not moved over
as it seems perahps not the right choice to have them save state between
sessions.

When exporting STEP model, warn the user if one of their footprints has
a non-unity scaled model as this compromises the integrity of the STEP
export.
Fixes https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/issues/1781
Makes model substitution (VRML->STEP in STEP Export) optional. This can
prevent nasty surprises where the user doesn't see/can't affect the
outcome
Also, when substituting models, do not maintain scale factor. So a VRML
model with non-unity scaling will not be export as a STEP file (of the
same name) with non-unity scaling. This is the first step to address

Differentiates better between the EDA_ITEM IsModified(), referring to
items themselves changing and the EDA_SCREEN IsContentModified(),
referring to whether we have made any unsaved changes.
- The default value is 0.01 mm (according to comments and similar to the 3D viewer
settings that uses 0.02 mm)
- The export dialog has now 3 values 1 micron, 0.01mm (default) and 0.1 mm
The 0.1 micron option is removed: it makes no sense for a mechanical tolerance.
It shows much more detail. Removes some nag dialogs and places
hypertext links in others.
Also fixes the auto-layer-showing to correctly show Edge.Cuts or
F.CrtYd or B.CrtYd for errors relating to them.
