The variables in the common settings struct are only updated on
save, so Python must use the ones from Pgm to get its values.
This does lead to the observation that Python's changes to the
variables do affect KiCad (they can break resolvers). So apparently
it can mess with us but we can't mess with it easily.
Also, improve the environment variable tracing infrastructure to capture
more changes.
Just setting the text field is not guaranteed to fire
a text event, so we must forcefully call the regenerate
function to ensure the preselect is handled.

The base GAL has the linewidth property already, and its
accessor will only return the base version. This was causing
problems with the Cairo printing GAL, since that setter wasn't
using the base class version. Also, this removes the print-specific
setter, since the actual setting of line width shouldn't be done
there and is instead done where the drawing happens.

This moves the generated files out of the source tree and into
the build directory. They are now regenerated each time they are
needed, based on the timestamp of the generated file compared to
the timestamp of the lemon file.
To do this, we also bundle lemon into the thirdparty directory
and build it for ourselves since it is a very tiny program and
not all platforms seem to distribute it in a consistent manner.

This option removes copper layers from pads and vias where they are not
connected to other board elements. This allows the inner layers to be
more closely routed if the via landing pad is not needed.

This ensures the colors used by the status text pane in the preview
widget are the same as the canvas, so there is a seemless transition
between the two.
Additionally, remove the scrollbars from the symbol preview widget
in the place symbol dialog - they are pointless.
Before this, the environment variables inside Python wouldn't reflect
the updates to them made after the interpreter was started in Pcbnew.
This will call into Python and set the variables when they are changed,
since Python can't synchronize itself when running in an embedded
interpreter.

ADDED: Progress indicator in the taskbar
This adds a progress indicator to the Windows and macOS taskbar
icons to display the progress of some operations.
Note, this requires wxWidgets 3.1+
KiCad stores 3D cache files but never gets rid of any of them.
This patch adds a new function called 'CleanCacheDir()'. Any cache
files older than the passed 'number of days' parameter are deleted.

Store list of previously open projects only in kicad.json
Keep all management of open projects in SETTINGS_MANAGER
Also add kicadSettings() for convenience
On platforms with limited framebuffer attachments, like GC7000L
driven by the open source etnaviv driver, we can still use
GPU acceleration by drawing directly to the main buffer.
EDA_DRAW_PANEL_GAL::onPaint checks if an overlay target is
available in the GAL, and if not, redraws the whole view if the
overlay target should be dirty.
Clearing of the overlay target is a no-op if there is no overlay
buffer.

The fix convert all std::string storing a path to wxString (unicode support)
wxString were already used at many place to store paths, but not all.
For internal calculations mixing char strings and wide char strings is a recipe
for bug: any missing conversion between UTF8 and wxString breaks paths.
When drawing segments that are smaller than the segment width, OpenGL
did not use realistic values, leading to hidden, small tracks. Instead,
we set the track to only draw a segment when the length is at least 1
radius long (so that we can see the full semi-circle at the track end)

We output a 0 opacity text in the SVG plotter to allow searching. When
this text is changed to 100 opacity, it can show up on the user screen
and so needs to be mirrored to match the stroke font output

By default KiCad will now print each polygon point on its own line.
This adds to the vertical distance for large polygons but makes revision
control much cleaner as single point addition to a polygon does not
propagate to a diff over the full polygon.
Users/developers who want to save the files using the 4-points per line
have the ADVANCED_CONFIG setting 'CompactSave' which will provide the
original save method
This way, when the user changes their color theme, any sheets
that did not have a specific color set will change with the theme.
Also add a button to clear color overrides from a sheet, because
any schematics that have been saved before this change will have
the colors set to something other than UNSPECIFIED.
'.txt' is a common file extension for drill files. This Merge
Request adds it to the list of extensions used in the File Open dialog
for Excellon Drill files.
