Introduce a new advanced config variable `KICAD_LIBRARY_DATA` which can
be used to move templates, symbols, footprints, and 3dmodels out of
`KICAD_DATA`. If not defined, everything is kept as before.
To facilitate this, PATHS::GetStockEDALibraryPath() is added. This
allows to differentiate code paths looking for EDA library data vs. code
paths looking for plugins, demos, and the like.
Thanks to Aimylios for the hints and suggestions with regards to the
stock EDA library data path handling on Windows and MacOS.
Use the KICAD_DATA build-time variable to determine the default stock
library search path on Linux instead of relying on DEFAULT_INSTALL_PATH
in combination with hardcoded folder names. The search logic for Windows
and macOS is refactored but remains unchanged.
Updates the Serbian language code from sr_RS to sr. This appears to
work as intended under Debian whereas the full code, despite existing in
the i18n directory was not recognized by wxWidgets or Weblate.
While most platforms keep the tooltips if the mouse doesn't move, MSW
will hide the tooltip after 5 seconds (by default). This bumps that up
to 10s for all tooltips in the program.

Versions specific variables that may point to objects that change
through versions, allowing multiple KiCad versions to operate correctly
(even on MSW) on the same machine.
So the new steals-focus protection stuff works well when there's a
focused control, but not as well when there's a modal dialog up which
happens not to have a focused control (or worse, a focusable control).
This adds a second mechanism for also checking to see if a modal dialog
is up (something that wxWidgets, true to form, makes very difficult).

The previous fix (d4461f6) removed all vars before re-add them.
Clear all vars created issues with externally defined variables (the internal
initial value was lost)
Now only old, no longer existing, vars are deleted.
Fix also a potential issue related to non ASCII7 in last stored path.
When updating common environment variables list, the initial list was never
deleted. Therefore one could not remove an existing var.
The common environment variables list is now deleted before updating.
Flags != language See http://www.flagsarenotlanguages.com We now use
local, untranslated language names for all languages.
Languages that have not been updated in >5 years and have less than 15%
of available strings translated have been removed from the menu options.
If a translator steps up to update the .po files, we can re-add them
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.
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.
It's a bit of a hack because they're statically initialized and
so we can't make use of the _() macro. We do still want it in the
code, however, because the string harvesting is based off of it.
Fixes: lp:1833000

When we assign a string to the wxFilename, it takes the last section as
the filename (unless there is a trailing '/'). So on Linux, we got
/home/user for the Documents dir and /home/ was the directory while
'user' was the filename. Appending directories 'kicad/templates' made
the final directory '/home/kicad/templates'. Forcing this to be a
directory restores correct behavior.
(cherry picked from commit 0ee38653f7)
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.
Cairo supports antialiasing when rendering but can be slow when set to
sub-pixel mode. This bumps the minimum version of Cairo to 1.12
(available in 14.04 LTS as well as mingw) to support three antialias
settings (fast, good, best) that offer speed/appearance tradeoffs.
This can provide a higher-quality eeschema render as it works on a
per-element basis as opposed to the OpenGL per-screen antialias.
