When drawing an arc, show a guide circle that indicates the
radius of the arc at the current cursor. This can be useful
as a guide for seeing where the arc will reach once the radius
is fixed by the second click.

Some MSW seem to have issues with the UTF-8 characters in const
wxString. This explictly casts to wxString from UTF-8 handling the
platform differences

- 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.
This adds a richer overlay to the arc-by-three-points tool in Pcbnew,
including more guide-lines and a live display of radius and angle.
Also included is ability to go back to the previous step (if setting end
angle, you can go back to setting start point, etc) using Backspace, and
Ctrl snaps the start/end angles to 45 degree multiples.
This adds new classes
* MULTISTEP_GEOM_MANAGER: represents a generic "geometry manager" that
builds up some geometrical construction based on a sequence of points.
Used by:
* ARC_GEOM_MANAGER: handles the logical flow of constructing an
arc by centre-point, set radius, set angle. This moves the logic out
of the Pcbnew DRAWING_TOOL event loop in drawArc().
* ARC_ASSISTANT: graphical overlay to communicate current arc shape to
the user during the drawing process
