DXF blocks are virtual groups of items.
The insert entity is what actually places all the block contents at a given coordinate.
This should fix importing drawings from professional CAD tools like SolidWorks that will have a good bit of blocks.
The reality is the DXF file can still override the selected unit option which is totally fine.
In fact, per specification, there is a way to change units mid-file with block records :/
There is no guarantee DXF contains $INSUNIT to specify the units of the file as its optional.
This allows the user to specify the expected units via dropdown.
SolidWorks can definitely generate such unit lacking files as an example
ADDED: Allow DXF/SVG graphics to be imported as a group
Also, cleanup the placement routine to allow the edit tool's flip
and rotate routines to be used when placing the items.
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.
Sometimes a dxf curve is a "degenerated" bezier curve having only 3 points.
(a control point is at same location as a end point)
This commit fix incorrect import of these curves.
This update replaces the existing uses of unique pointer creation with
the C++14 std::make_unique call that provides proper memory release in
event of an exception.
BLOCK elements in DXF are re-usable bits that are useful when editing
the file but should not be shown when importing the model. This skips
all references except those that exist in the default "*Model_Space".
This block is required in each DXF file and cannot be renamed.

* Fix wildcard display in the file selector dialog (on GTK
it would show the regex to the user)
* Move the file extension comparison into a common function
Use the HTML_MESSAGE_BOX window to present the warning messages rather
than wxMessageBox which would overflow the display when there were a lot
of graphic items that could not be parsed.

The returns of KiCad file extensions on GTK contain basic regex matching
case-insensitive file extensions. We need to match these in the
provider and tests
This adds the upper-case version of files names to the selection box for
filesystems that support case-sensitive file names.

This standardizes the import vector graphics file dialog to use the
sbSizer titles instead of bold+lines. Tooltip changes will be in the
next change as we don't change strings for bugfix releases and this
commit is targeted for 5.1.3

There is a circular dependency between the GRAPHICS_IMPORTER object and
the GRAPHICS_IMPORT_PLUGIN object which makes sharing the settings in
the GRAPHICS_IMPORTER unwieldy. This fix is a ugly hack that resolves
the issue. The underlying issue will require some major refactoring.

Improve padding, spacing and alignment of dialog layout.
Fix title capitalization.
Make file dialog wildcard string translatable.
Remove fixed initial dialog size to allow sizers to work their magic.
Replace OK button event handler with TransferDataFromWindow.
Remember last line width units between dialog instances and sessions.
Save configuration file settings in a separate group and remove GfxImport
prefix from the entry names.
Add fencing to dialog header file to prevent nested includes.

When adding an element to a module, we don't need to update the relative
coordinates. Doing so can cause changes when writing to file depending
on rotation and position.

This allows too turn it on for work without an additional patch.
Also fix a bug in the disable code - when the SVG is enabled,
allow to select SVG files.
SVG import need some refinements to be efficient, so it is disable for v 5.x.
Will be re-enabled later.
Enabling SVG import is *only* for developers, not for users.
* Do not compile dxf old files.
* import gfx, gal mode: make absolute placement working.
* Import gfx in legacy canvas: use it and make interactive placement working
* Take imported line width in account. Ensure DXF line thickness is OK.
* handling empty files in legacy mode.
