Reduce each (Accel & Fallback) to 3 options: Off, Fast, Good. Fast AA
in accelerated canvas uses SMAA with tweaks suggested by David Beinder.
Good AA is super-sampled x2.
Cairo is similarly reduced to Off, Fast, Good, which map to the Cairo
options themselves. Best is removed as it mostly affects text rendering
and not line drawing (as our text is)
Moves the OpenGL AA options to the same Fast/Balanced/HQ options as used
in Fallback. Fast and Balanced are the SMAA options, with decreasing
threshholds and more processing in the balanced version. HQ is
supersampling x2. This takes more memory and may not work for HiDPI
screens with underpowered graphics cards. But it looks the best of the
three options.
The SSx4 option is removed as it added little benefit in either regular
or HiDPI screens

Conservative makes SMAA usable in Eeschema through weaker AA.
Aggressive reduces some artifacts compared to the High preset.
Restores the unused Ultra preset in the shader source to its original state.
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.

A note to developers, please do not set the minimum and/or size of bitmap
buttons. It causes bitmaps to get clipped using GTK on Linux. If the
bitmap button size is not acceptable, then supply an appropriately sized
bitmap rather than attempt to force the wxWidgets sizing mechanism to do
what you want. This almost always causes platform differences that do
not work well.
You can now choose the behavior of dragging with the
middle and right mouse buttons.
You can also choose which modifier keys to use for
panning and zooming with the scroll wheel or trackpad.
You can also customize the zoom speed, which makes
it possible to have a good zoom experience on a wider
range of input devices.
You can also now zoom by dragging with the right or
middle button if desired.

First, add automatic detection of toolkit DPI scaling options. For now, this
is, in order,
* Check the GDK_SCALE option under GTK+ (users can set this to force the scaling)
* Check the value from WX's GetContentScalingFactor(). This will start to work
correctly from WX 3.1 and GTK+ 3.10.
Then, add a user-settable override in the main prefs panel, next to the icon
scaling. This is independent of the icon scaling options.
DPI handling is performed in a standalone class, so they can be shared between
the prefs UI and the OpenGL backend easily. Also means Cairo could use the same
interface in future.
Also adjust the OpenGL grid drawing code to use the computed scale factor,
which avoids over-thick grids in scaled environments (the user can manually
thicken the grid if wanted).

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.
