This unifies everything under a single architecture with a "don't
show again" dialog. Since everything now goes through the same
path it should be reasonably easy to make it do whatever we want

Use wxCOL_WIDTH_AUTOSIZE instead of fixed column sizes. This doesn't fix
the initial sizer layout issue on wxWidgets 3.0 but at least resizing the
dialog has better column width behavior.
Normally we don't want to resize when a control is open (such as a
drop-down), but it appears safe enough when all the controls are
just text-button controls.

Short net names are not unique; full names with paths must be used.
Added a grid cell renderer that does the escaping, to make it easier
to display net names in grid cells.
Once you unescape a net name, you can't go back to the escaped form
because you can't assume which `/` should be {slash} and which `/`
Because of this, we cannot use Unescape/Escape on the data model in
the netclass setup panel, and instead do the Unescape in the view.

A note to developers, please do not set the minimum and/or size of bitmap

what you want. This almost always causes platform differences that do
not work well.

Delete the copy ctor and assignment operator to start with, but
even then the separate apps each have their own statically allocated
copy of the common actions. So we need to update all of them, which
also means having the kicad manager frame's set of actions on hand).
This changelist also adds a Clear Hotkey Assignment function since
the hotkeys set is now likely to be sparse with respect to the
actions.
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).

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

There are lot of places where constants are used in the KiCad UI
as "magic numbers". The most common one is "5", used in many
wxFormBuilder and manual UI constructions as the margin.
This commit provides a place for all UI to look up shared
constants and other functions, to help create a consistent UI using
functions that provide meaning and intent to these magic numbers.
This is in preparation for making this widget optionally read-only.
Major changes:
* Construct panel in code, not with wxFormBuilder. This make's it
easier to conditionally construct elements that won't be used
in a read-only mode (e.g. the buttons).
* Use a generic "button row panel" widget for the buttons, as the
sizing and layout logic is reusable in nearly all dialogs, and
it's simplifies layout in the higher-level dialog widget. This
widget is one example of many possible "reuable widgets".
This puts generic logic for KiCad environment vars in
one place.
Also updates the DIALOG_CONFIGURE_PATHS help to document
the new KICAD_USER_TEMPLATE_DIR and KICAD_TEMPLATE_DIR.
This separates the "ground truth" store of hotkeys from what is shown
in the dialog. This will allow us to filter the displayed hotkeys
while keeping the same underlying data structures.
Now, the UI data items interact with an intermediate set of data, which
represents the "original" hotkey data, and the "changed" data. The
ultimate aim here is to allow UI elements to come and go, but the
hotkeys that are "in-edit" are preserved.
This also allows us to abstract some bookkeeping complexity
out of the WIDGET_HOTKEY_LIST class into a separate non-GUI
class.

wxWidgets offers two dialog types: wxFileDialog and wxDirDialog, one

The GTK+ file dialog is case sensitive however it does support regular
expressions. Most of the file dialog wildcards are lower case so only
files with the lower case extensions will show up in the file dialog.
This code adds a method to convert file extensions of any case to the
appropriate (sch -> [sS][cC][hH]) regular expression on GTK+ builds so
all file extension case combinations will show up in the file dialog.
A note to developers: make sure to add a file extension when setting
when setting the default file argument. If you do don't set an
extension, the GTK+ file dialog will happily append the regular
expression as the file extension which is surely not what you want.
There are still a few known places (mostly gerbview) where there are
some complex wildcard code that has not been converted.
