First, add automatic detection of toolkit DPI scaling options. For now, this
is, in order,
* Check the GDK_SCALE option under GTK+ (users can set this to force the scaling)
* Check the value from WX's GetContentScalingFactor(). This will start to work
correctly from WX 3.1 and GTK+ 3.10.
Then, add a user-settable override in the main prefs panel, next to the icon
scaling. This is independent of the icon scaling options.
DPI handling is performed in a standalone class, so they can be shared between
the prefs UI and the OpenGL backend easily. Also means Cairo could use the same
interface in future.
Also adjust the OpenGL grid drawing code to use the computed scale factor,
which avoids over-thick grids in scaled environments (the user can manually
thicken the grid if wanted).

gal: pixel alignment for Cairo.
gal: pixel alignment for OpenGL
Cleanup of pixel alignment patches
gal/opengl: more pixel alignment patches:
- works on Retina displays now
- pixel alignment for circles
- correct 1-pixel strokes
- fixed unfinished 1-pixel line ends
GAL: Restore antialiasing options in Cairo
GAL: Fix arc drawing
Removes DrawArcSegment, which drew arcs whose edge was optionally
stroked (a feature that we did not use). Fixes Cairo arc drawing issue
where arcs were not visible in pcbnew.
gal: further cleanup
gal: removed unused shader parameter
When adding colors to length tuner, we depend on the window background
color, which can be set by the user, resulting in an unreadable text.
This uses the HSL conversion to detect which shade it should use for the
coloring.
Also adds test cases for round-trip HSL and HSV conversion

Cairo supports antialiasing when rendering but can be slow when set to
sub-pixel mode. This bumps the minimum version of Cairo to 1.12
(available in 14.04 LTS as well as mingw) to support three antialias
settings (fast, good, best) that offer speed/appearance tradeoffs.
This can provide a higher-quality eeschema render as it works on a
per-element basis as opposed to the OpenGL per-screen antialias.
Use TesselatePolygon() to draw polygons in Gerbview instead of GLU tesselation, much slower.
Add helper methods in GAL to know if the current GAL engine is Cairo, OpenGL or something else,
useful to optimize drawing code.
Due to the implicit floor of the cast from double to unsigned char,
there was a small rounding error in COLOUR4D's WX conversion function.
This fixes the failing tests.
Also make the cast to unsigned char explicit.
Display GALs had an incorrect world unit value set. Now the world unit
value says how many internal units are in an inch, in accord with the comments
in the GAL header. Bitmap drawing code relied on the information about DPI,
so scaling worked differently for display and print GALs.
CAIRO_PRINT_CTX provides a Cairo context created from wxPrintDC.
It allows one to prepare printouts using the Cairo library and
let wxWidgets handle the rest.
Fixes a crash when typing fast in the place footprint filter box.
Also adds a bunch more checking to GAL locking, including making
sure the same person unlocks as locked, and preventing piece-meal
calls (the RAII objects must be used).
This prevents deadlocks when exceptions are thrown and the context
ends up not getting unlocked.
It also removes an earlier hack to try and minimize this which
didn't work anyway.
Moved the code handling text overbars to a single function
(ProcessOverbars()) to replace similar pieces of code trying to do the
same thing.

- 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.

Independent drawing functions (that don't expect any particular state to
be set up fo them) on the GAL need to reset the GAL properties they
use. This adds GAL::ResetTextAttributes() to make this easier.
This is important, as failing to reset mirroring can cause asserts in
OpenGL.
This is used in the Ruler tool (which previously did it one attribute at
a time) and also the Arc layout assistant, which previously failed to
reset mirroring.
Also reset on GAL construction, as these members appear to be
uninitialised.
The motivation here is to concentrate display options in the GAL display
settings, ready for removal of legacy canvases. Instead of having the
property as a member of the DRAW_FRAME, with the GAL canvas retreiving
it from there, it is now in the GAL_DISPLAY_OPTIONS struct, and both GAL
and legacy get it from there.
The options for setting cursor shape are then moved out of the general
options dialog, and into the GAL display options widget, where they can
be used in all GAL-aware programs.
GAL cursor shape works on GAL, but not legacy, so the option is now
available on OSX (but only affects GAL, and is labelled as such).
This makes it clearer when a tool is active, otherwise interactive tool
effects like auto-pan can come as a surprise when the cursor is forced
to display all the time.
A new items is added to the GAL display options (and the dialog), and a
hotkey (Ctrl+Shift+x) is added to toggle it.

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.
When reading config options from files, it's important to make sure the
value makes sense - the incoming data could be anything, and may have
incompatible values or be otherwise unreliable.
This introduces a simple way to define and use "mapping tables" which
can map between a "native" value, probably an enum (but not necessarily)
and some external value, for example the value written to file.
This provides a decoupling between the two values, as well as sanitising
inputs and outputs. This is important, as over time, if there isn't a
decoupled interface, changing options result in corrupt configs, or a
proliferation of obsolete enum values kept for compatibility.
GAL_DISPLAY_OPTIONS_OBSERVER aren't deleted by a base class pointer -
they are an "incidental" part of other classes. Add a virtual protected
destructor to make this explicit.
This allows the user to set a thicker grid line without causing the
grid lines to become over dense, or just make the grid denser according
to preference.
The term "density" is modified to "minimum grid spacing", which is
the pixel spacing between adjacent grid lines.
The spacing settings now comes in along, with other GAL display settings,
as part of GAL_DISPLAY_OPTIONS observer functionality. To this end, the
setter in GAL interface is removed, as an external user should be
setting this parameter via the GAL_DISPLAY_OPTIONS interface.
This adds a user-settable control for the grid line thickness on GAL
canvases to the display options dialog.

This puts the graphical/display options with the other similar options
in that dialog, rather than with the dimension options found in the Set
Grid dialog, which is in the Dimensions menu.
Also place the option itself in the GAL Display Options structure, so it
can be updated using the observer mechanism there.
The setter for the style in the GAL interface is removed, as the public
interface for setting this option is now to modify the
GAL_DISPLAY_OPTIONS structure and notify the GAL when done.
Some faults could result in a crash, as they were not properly
handled. Now the rendering loop is wrapped with try..catch block
which will revert to Cairo in case of an error and display an
error message.

* remove duplicate code between draw functions and STROKE_FONT used in GAL. Use only STROKE_FONT methods in draw, plot and test DRC function for texts. It remove slightly different shapes between GAL and other calculations.
* fix incorrect bounding box for texts with overbar. Especially noticeable for texts with overbar inside a copper zone in Pcbnew.
* fix a few minor other bugs related to graphic texts.
I tried to merge some constants used both in legacy mode and gal mode (which were, before this patch, separate constants).
There is still a serious work to avoid different calculation code for the same text in draw and plot functions.
Work in progress to merge these calculation functions.
- CACHED_CONTAINER::GetVertices: removed useless and unused function
which does nothing but tainted the API
- SHAPE_LINE_CHAIN::Collide( const BOX2I& aBox, int aClearance ):
removed an outdated function with assert(false)
- SHAPE::BBox(): fix a small typo in the doc string
Moved scaling of font glyphs to the moment when they are created (eliminated a few multiplications unnecessary variables).
Changed some magic numbers into constants.
