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 change completely removes the LIB_ALIAS design pattern an replaces
it by allowing LIB_PART objects to inherit from other LIB_PART objects.
The initial implementation only allows for single inheritance and only
supports the mandatory fields in the derived part because that is all
that the current symbol library file format will support. Once the new
file format is implemented and saving to the old file format is deprecated,
more complex inheritance will be added. The LIB_ALIAS information saved
in the document files was move into the LIB_PART object. This change
impacts virtually every part of the schematic and symbol library editor
code so this commit message is woefully incomplete.
REMOVE: Removed the symbol aliases concept from the schematic and symbol
editors and the symbol viewer.
NEW: Replace the symbol alias concept with simple inheritance that allows
a library symbol to be derived from another library symbol.
Currently, this widget doesn't read the common library settings.
This means it doesn't use the configured DPI scaling or anti-aliasing
settings.
Use the ReadConfig method on the GAL options to fix (rather than
only ReadAppConfig).

Move repeated GAL config reading routines into GAL_DISPLAY_OPTIONS.
THe app-level config is in here already, do the same for the
common config.
This means that the configs are loaded consistently, which fixes
the symbol-chooser preview window, which previously didn't use the
same config routine as other GAL canvases.
Future work could move these functions to free functions that
act on the public interface of GAL_DISPLAY_OPTIONS to avoid
GAL_DISPLAY_OPTIONS having to know about wxConfig and wxWindow.

When starting Eeschema, or a frame/dialog using a SCH_DRAW_PANEL, the bg color was initialized too late,
thus creating a flicker or an annoying draw artifact (in SYMBOL_PREVIEW_WIDGET for instance) if a Paint event
is fired before the right bg color is initialized.
Initializing the bg color earlier fix this issue.

The dialog was using a LIB_ALIAS from library cache to show the symbol to the canvas without making a local copy.
Unfortunately, the library viewer is doing the same thing.
Now the GAL is used in Eeschema, a link to the VIEW used by the GAL canvas is stored in this class.
When The selector symbol dialog is used to choose a symbol to display in the Library viewer,
a race condition between the Library viewer GAL canvas and the dtor dialog that destroyed this link in the same instancied class.
Now, the SYMBOL_PREVIEW_WIDGET used in the dialog works on a local copy of the symbol to display.
Split antialiasing options out from display options. Move
antialiasing to common. Duplicate the rest of display options
for Eeschema.
Implement OnSelectGrid and hookup GAL canvas refresh to
SetPresetGrid.
Add Grid Settings... to View menu and move Show Grid from
preferences to View Menu to match Pcbnew.
