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.
This also removes vector cover types which do nothing except obfuscate
the underlying implementation.
Mainly changes SCH_SHEET_PINS and CONFIG_PARAM_ARRAY (which will soon
be replaced by Jon's new stuff).
Handle symbols as well as strings in the "source" lists of
netlist files.
Handle Protex gerber file extensions.
Check for project_name-whatever pattern for files that we
don't recognize (such as project_name-NPTH-drl_map.ps)
Mainly replacing std::string by wxString to manage filenames.
On Windows, a sdt::string cannot manage a filename, unless using
in many places TO_UTF8 and FROM_UTF8.
So the best way is to use a wxString for filenames and error messages.
The highlight color chosen from the system highlight doesn't always show
against the schematic sheet background color. Allowing the user to
customize with their KiCad theme makes it configurable on par with other
colors. This is stop-gap until we get full color schemes from
lp:1678345
The standard DIM() macro was not typesafe as it happily deferred errors
to runtime that can be caught at compile time. Replacing it with a
generic C++11 constexpr allows for typecasting, comparison and compile
time error checking.
Spooling up a full PLAYER in the background takes too long.
This also fixes bugs around how the tables are saved, although
that was just missing code rather than anything architectural.

Keep any Eeschema color except background a fraction off of true white
to ensure that BW printing shows the lines as black. Only the
background is allowed to be white in an Eeschema printout.

Create a dialog to give the user options to configure the global symbol
library table the first time Eeschema is run when no global symbol library
table exists.
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.
Now these parameters are stored in user config, not project config ( they are not really related to a given project, they are just a setup during an edition),
and the schematic editor and the component editor have now separate parameters, because they are separate editors with different constraints.
component editor: repeat pin enhancement (from and idea of Edward Johns)
* move not shared files (sch_item_struct.*, sch_base_frame.h) to eeschema;
* move wxEeschemaStruct.h to eeschema and rename it schframe.h to be consistent with the other corresponding file name schframe.cpp;
* remove few not needed #include
