CHANGED: Settings are now stored in versioned sub-directories
ADDED: First-run dialog for migrating settings from a previous version
CHANGED: Settings are now stored as JSON files instead of wxConfig-style INI files
CHANGED: Color settings are now all stored in a separate settings file
CHANGED: The symbol editor and footprint editor now have their own settings files
CHANGED: Color settings are no longer exposed through BOARD object
CHANGED: Page layout editor now uses Eeschema's color scheme
Settings are now managed through a central SETTINGS_MANAGER held by PGM_BASE.
Existing settings will be migrated from the wxConfig format on first run of each application.
Per-application settings are now stored in one class for each application.
Also wrap orientation instead of verifying it. This allows valid angles
that are larger/smaller than the ±180 limit.

1 - For debug purposes, the code to fill non copper zones was disabled and the copper zone code was uses instead.
It creates issues with pad clearance areas, because a non copper zone has no clearance areas.
2 - The non copper zone dialog had no option to set the outline smoothing option.
Unfortunately, this parameter was inherited from the last edited copper zone.
And therefore the non copper zone can have a non wanted outline smoothing option.
This option is now added to the dialog.

the filled areas can use a hatch pattern (crossing lines) using square holes.
The zone filler removes too small holes (truncated holes) from hatch pattern.
It avoid to create small holes when a hole pattern is truncated by the filled area base shape.
Set the focus to some control in the copper zone, non-copper zone, and
keep out zone dialogs required for the default button action to work
properly. This only seem to affect windows dialogs.

Using Title + Message wasn't working for all the dialogs which
did substitutions in the message (which was a lot of them).

Also includes a bunch of changes to simplifiy the terminology
and unify the copper, non-copper and keepout versions.
Also removes some legacy features:
Removes contol for fill method. If the fill method is currently
segments the dialog will ask if you want to convert to polygons
on OK.
Removes control of boundary resolution. We've done this with trig
since 5.0.
(cherry picked from commit 487aaeb)
The zeroth index is reserved especially for the <no net> tag, so we need
to keep the current net at 1 or greater to keep it connected.

This fixes the layer comboboxes, the copper zones properties
dialog, and the differental-pair icon in the htoolbar.
Fixes: lp:1741049
* https://bugs.launchpad.net/kicad/+bug/1741049
This patch enables math expression evaluation for most of the text input
controls in pcbnew.
NEW: pcbnew text input controls are able to evaluate simple
mathematical expressions, including distance units (e.g. 5.0+(2*1.2mm)).
- support for background color setting
- removed several global config settings (such as g_Drc_On)
- wrapped most of global config settings in PCB_GENERAL_SETTINGS class
- reorganized PCB general options dialog to clearly mark which options concern only the legacy canvas
- new GAL feature for legacy users: double-click (or E) to change track width available as an option.

Fixes: lp:1707145

Removes the need of using the legacy code in polygon/PolyLine.{h,cpp},
refactoring all CPolyLine instances with SHAPE_POLY_SET instances.
The remaining legacy methods have been ported to SHAPE_POLY_SET;
mainly: Chamfer, Fillet, {,Un}Hatch.
The iteration over the polygon vertices have been simplified using the
family of ITERATOR classes.
eeschema now supports arbitrary colors for all object types, and
pcbnew does in GAL canvas. When switching from GAL to legacy canvas,
pcbnew will convert colors to the nearest legacy color.
* Dialog copper zones: Always enable thermal shape settings, because even with no thermal, some pads can use thermal option in local pad settings.
* GAL mode: shows page limits in gray color, like in legacy mode, and according to comments in sources.
* Make OK button the default in the copper zones properties dialog.
* Change the set global text edit properties menu entry so that is describes
what the dialog actually does.
* Make the clean up tracks and vias menu entry description more accurate.
* Cleanup namespace in enum ZoneConnection in pcbnew/zones.h to self-explained names unification: PAD_ZONE_CONN_INHERITED, PAD_ZONE_CONN_NONE,PAD_ZONE_CONN_THERMAL,PAD_ZONE_CONN_FULL, PAD_ZONE_CONN_THT_THERMAL
