Wayne Stambaugh fd54d394bd Version string improvements.
Define empty string variable KICAD_BRANCH_NAME that can be used as an
optional version string element.  When git is used to build the version
string, this variable is set to the git branch name.  It can also be
defined at configuration time as an optional string appended to the
$KICAD_VERSION variable.

Define empty string variable KICAD_VERSION_EXTRA that can be set by
the user at configuration.

The variables KICAD_BRANCH_NAME and KICAD_VERSION_EXTRA are only
appended to KICAD_VERSION if they are set.  Otherwise, only KICAD_VERSION
is uses as the version string.

Update the developer building from source document to reflect the changes.

Chris Pavlina c13f80bb49 Remove unneeded compile option KICAD_KEEPCASE
Libraries have been 100% case-sensitive for a while now; there is no longer a
need to keep this option around. This will change nothing except for any
stragglers still manually specifying this old option.

unknown e506a4354b Replace avhttp with libcurl: Some fixes:
1. Fixed an assumption somebody originally made in the plugin that std::string had contiguous storage. This is not specced behavior pre C++11 so we gamble by calling .reserve() which should give a far better guarantee.
2. Added copy to clipboard information for curl
3. Removed some openssl references in compiling.md
4. Renamed struct vars to be uppercase to match "public var" code style policy

Wayne Stambaugh 627f8cba4d Fix "Building KiCad from Source" developers documentation.
* Change command blocks from using ``` to delineate block and use indentation
  instead.  The ``` method seems to be broken on Doxygen 1.8.9.1 used by the
  autobuilder.  It also removes the line numbering which did not make sense
  for commands that spanned multiple lines.
