Various architecture upgrades to support this.
Creating a BOARD now requires a valid PROJECT, which caused
some (mostly transparent) changes to the Python API internals.
ADDED: Project local settings file
CHANGED: Board design settings are no longer stored in PCB file
CHANGED: Net classes are no longer stored in PCB file
CHANGED: Importing board settings now reads boards, not just projects

BuildConnectivity updates the ratsnest after it completes. By compiling
the ratsnest before connectivity, we update it twice with the dirty flag
being reset after connectivity updates.
Keeping a pointer to the actual file history inside a special
file history menu led to many cases of use after free crashes,
so instead rework the actual file history to add the menu
items.
Fixes https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/issues/3741
Create an IsContentModified() function in each frame
that provides if the content has been modified, and
use that instead of always copying the checks.
Grid and ratsnest visibility are stored in the board file and should not
be changed without the user explicitly modifying them.
In the future, we'll move these settings out of the board file but we
shouldn't cause extra file-churn for flipped bits.

Give the user the option of cancelling a file open if there are
segment zones; otherwise they're converted to polygon fills.

This allows us to make the various netlist and pcb update routines
more atomic and less reliant on carefully sequenced asynchronous
messages.
This is also a prelude to adding support for footprint testing
without a netlist.
For legacy boards, the setting is picked up from the board outline
thickness. If the board outline has mixed thicknesses, then the
max is used and a warning is displayed.

Autosave was not working correctly, partly due to different
implementations in eeschema and pcbnew and partly due to a mistaken
refactor at some point during v5 development. This unifies the expected
autosave prefix to _autosave- for both pcbnew and eeschema. It also
unifies the expected suffix for the backup files to -bak.

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.
Moving pcbnew error strings that may be seen by the user to translated
strings. Strings that denote unexpected cases are moved to debug logs
as they are essentially asserts that should never be shown. The
exceptions are the messages shown when files are loaded. All unknown
items should show an error here.
The lock file code would reset the lock file every other time the same
board file was opened in Pcbnew in the stand alone mode. This created
the perfect toggle switch causing the board to be reloaded every other
time the same board was selected.
Please note that wxSingleInstanceChecker is broken on Linux and most
likely MacOS as well due to a bug in wxWidgets. On these platforms,
the already opened file is reopened rather than displaying a warning
that the file is already opened.

This also fixes a bunch of bugs where an error during save would
still close the window (rather than cancelling the close action).

Some changes (enable/disable a layer) set the dirty bit even for empty boards.
So when closing pcbnew, the dialog asking for saving the board was shown, even when no board loaded.
There are a few steps to assign correct nets to zones/track/vias:
- create a net name to pad map
- perform 2 stage netlist update (fix timestamps and then references)
- compare new net names with the previously created net map, save the
differences as a old net to new net map
- remap zones/tracks/vias using the map created in the previous step
The main advantage here is it correctly handles unnamed nets (i.e. ones
without any net labels attached), which might be changed by KiCad
netlist generator.
Fixes a bunch of errors:
- libedit and libbrowser would zoom to bounding box but centre on canvas
- libedit, libbrowser and gerbview didn’t take the scroll bars into account
- pcbnew didn’t take scroll bars into account or apply the 10% margin
- appending a board file would re-centre, but not re-zoom

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.

- Also makes the project and file import functions filetype dependent.
- The change from IO_MGR::KICAD to IO_MGR::KICAD_SEXP removes a conflict from a compile definition for KICAD when compiling kicad/import_project.cpp
* When Pcbnew is launched in the stand alone mode with no board file command
line option, the project path is set to the current working directory. The
user may not have write access to the current working directory which would
cause the auto save to generate an error. If the user does not have write
access to the current working directory, set the path to a platform specific
temporary path that the user has write permission.
* When Pcbnew is launched in the stand alone mode with no board file command
line option, the default BOARD object has no file name. Set the file name
to "noname.kicad_pcb" to fix incorrect auto save file name and set the path
to the user's platform specific document folder.
* Delete orphaned auto save files when closing without saving due to broken
auto save file generation logic which prepended the file name with "$" rather
than "_autosave-".
* Fixes: lp:1596382
* Split and rewrite the preview window and canvas.
* Create a new class for handling the board information.
* Adds new render targets: openGL, legacy, and ray tracing.
* Render targets take full advantage of the new 3D plugins system and 3D cache
for a fast 3D model loading.
* Faster board loading.
* New OpenGL render is faster than the old one.
* New ray tracing render target with a post processing shader.
* Use of new 3D plugins (WRL, X3D, STEP and IGES) and 3D model caching.
* Preview of 3D model while browsing the file name.
* 3D preview of the footprint while adding / align 3D shapes.
* Render of 3D models according to attributes: Normal, Normal+Insert, Virtual.
* Pivot rotation centered in one point over the PCB board.
* Shortcuts keys improved for XYZ orientation..
* Animated camera.
Currently, kicad_pcb files have a (version ...) tag, but it is ignored. This
commit does the following:
1. Parse the version. If it's later than the last supported version, present an
alternative error message suggesting an upgrade if the file does not load
correctly. The version will be interpreted as an integer YYYYMMDD to suggest
a KiCad release date.
2. Accept a (version ...) tag also in kicad_mod files, but do not write them
yet. If no version tag is present in these files, assume the version to be that
of the current format version at the time of this commit.
This is meant to be merged to the 4.x stable series, and preps for KiCad 5
which will start emitting version tags also in footprints - users with what
will then be 'old stable' will not get a parse error when we introduce this for
footprints, and we can safely increment the format version later.
* File import: use case insensitive comparison to choose import plugin, from the file extension (It is not always in lower cases, especially on Windows.)
* onleftclick.cpp: fis a minor issue, which happens after switching form GAL to Legacy canvas: sometimes a board item is left selected from GAL, and creates false warning message in legacy.
The C++ preprocessor is actually not required to process "true" and "false"
correctly. This works in C if <stdbool.h> is included, because these are
then macros themselves, and resolved correctly, but C++ requires them to be
keywords, so no such macros exist, and the preprocessor can treat both as
undefined/zero.
Mostly cosmetic change, although there are compilers that choke on this.
The C++ standard specifies that classes contain themselves as members,
probably so they shadow any other definition of the same name for their own
member functions, but there is really no reason why the class name should
be duplicated here.
* Rename Eda_FileSelector to EDA_FILE_SELECTOR.
* Add optional pointer to wxString to save the most recently used path to EDA_FILE_SELECTOR.
* Rename Eda_DirectorySelector to EDA_PATH_SELECTOR.
* Replace wxGetCwd() with wxStandardPaths::GetDocumentsDir(). This fixes the windows issue
where wxGetCwd() returns the path where the executable files are located.
* Add code to handle most recently used path to EDA_BASE_FRAME.
* Fix string formatting error in kicad/files-io.cpp.
* Remove setting and restoring current working directory when launching GerbView. Setting the CWD
has no effect on the launched executable which starts with it's own CWD.
* Allow project path to be passed to GerbView when launched from KiCad.
* Note: this is a work in progress. Do not expect every path and/or file selection dialog to properly
update the most recently used path. The correct solution to this problem requires a much more
well though out solution which will not happen until after the next stable release.
Fix minor 3D viewer issues (includling change number of segments and its optimization to draw pad holes.)
Fix Bug #1439132 (track and via list on toolbar not always refresh after loading a board).
Remove useless tool in Modedit.
Rename eeschema/dialogs/dialog_sch_find.fbp to dialog_schematic_find_base.fbp, to be consistent with other dialogs.
Pcbnew run from the project manager: add menu Save Copy As..., which is the same command as Save As ... in stand alone mode, but with the constraints of a project (no cwd change, no board filename change, and keep project settings)
this option was possible only by modifying the way display options are managed.
before these changes, display options were a global DISPLAY_OPTIONS class instance.
Now each EDA_DRAW_FRAME(and derivated classes) includes its own DISPLAY_OPTIONS class instance.
As a consequence, some duplicate display option variables in these classes have been removed, because there were just duplicate variables of the DISPLAY_OPTIONS class instance.
*) When kicad.exe closes a project, close any open KIFACEs so that they cannot
get disassociated from their true PROJECT.
*) Allow loading eeschema library editor from kicad.exe
*) Allow loading pcbnew library editor from kicad.exe
*) Rename LIB_COMPONENT to LIB_PART.
*) Add class PART_LIBS, and PART_LIB.
*) Make PART_LIBS non-global, i.e. PROJECT specific.
*) Implement "data on demand" for PART_LIBS
*) Implement "data on demand" for schematic SEARCH_STACK.
*) Use RSTRINGs to retain eeschema editor's notion of last library and part being edited.
*) Get rid of library search on every SCH_COMPONENT::Draw() call, instead use
a weak pointer.
*) Remove all chdir() calls so projects don't need to be CWD.
*) Romove APPEND support from OpenProjectFiles().
*) Make OpenProjectFiles() robust, even for creating new projects.
*) Load EESCHEMA colors in the KIWAY::OnKiwayStart() rather in window open,
and save them in the .eeschema config file, not in the project file.
*) Fix bug with wxDir() while accessing protected dirs in kicad.exe
*) Consolidate template copying into PROJECT class, not in kicad.exe source.
*) Generally untangle eeschema, making its libraries not global but rather
held in the PROJECT.
