Cirilo Bernardo 6120472d60 3D file name resolver improvements.
* Paths defined via pcbnew->Preferences->Configure Paths are now included in
  the 3D file browser's drop-down list except for KICAD_PTEMPLATES, KIGITHUB,
  KISYSMOD, any paths resembling a URL, and any non-existent paths. When an
  absolute path is shortened using one of these path aliases, let's say
  'KISYS3DMOD' then the name appears in the pcb file as "${KISYS3DMOD}/blah.wrl".
  If a user defines and actual environment variable with the same name, then
  that user defined variable will have precedence over the internally defined
  variable.

* Paths relative to the current project directory are no longer represented
  as "some/path/to/file.wrl".  For compatibility with previous KiCad versions
  it shall always be stored as ${KIPRJMOD}/some/path/to/file.wrl.

* Various restrictions on alias path values have been removed since the
  imposed restrictions could result in corrupted user data as aliases are
  silently dropped.

* Overall the patch should improve back-compatibility by providing a ${ENV_VAR}
  mechanism for supporting different model root directories and ensuring that
  paths relative to KIPRJMOD are expressed in a way that is compatible with
  earlier KiCad versions. This allows users more flexibility and the ability
  to work in a way that ensures 3D model files can be correctly resolved in
  earlier versions of KiCad. Users who do not care about back-compatibility
  may prefer to use the newer alias system.
