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.
Add also a comment in common.cpp about using wxLocale instead of setlocale.
DIALOG_UPDATE_FIELDS has issues in non English languages, due to its design.
The fix for mandatory fields is only a partial fix that avoid major issues.
Previously we call only setlocale( xx, "C" ), but it was not enough on Windows.
Now we call wxLocale("C")
wxLocale calls setlocale, but also make some others initialization in wxWidgets.
It fixes some issues related to comma versus point as fp separator.
Especially wxWidgets warnings are no longer thrown, and a one case of incorrect
conversion is fixed.
Due to an interaction with old (<1.59) versions of Boost, the ostream
operator<< for wxPoint and wxSize is requried to use
BOOST_CHECK_EQUAL_COLLECTIONS (the print_log_value<T> function is not
used by this macro until 1.59).
Because these functions are available in Debug builds, unit tests that
use such functions will break when compiled as Release or
RelWithDebugInfo.
The change here is to not disable these functions in Release builds.
Also, the functions are moved to common.h, to go with other generic
WX "polyfill" functions. Although they might be commonly used by the
EDA_ITEM::Show functions, they are not specifically related to that
class.

Hash collisions reduce the speed of unordered maps by increasing the
comparison time of underlying values. This implements the inverse
golden ration offset into the x value to ensure that consecutive points
are far from each other in the map.
This allows setting the config dir at build time, providing packagers a
method of controlling where the configuration files are placed.

The wrong class is called for the ctor of the wxConfigBase - this should
be a wxFileConfig, just like the bare new used to be.

When reading (and writing) a file, we must switch the current locale to "C" for LC_NUMERIC.
Unfortunately, on Windows, a wxWidgets assert was shown when reading some items (bitmaps images).
This wxWidgets assert (related to decimal separator) is overzealous and is now hidden only when reading/writing files.
LC_NUMERIC is the right option to use in LOCALE_IO because only the floating point separator must be modified
When using LC_ALL, the Env var expansion wxGetEnv() was not working when the env var contains non ascii7 codes after a call to LOCALE_IO.
When using setlocale( LC_NUMERIC, "C" ) in LOCALE_IO, wxGetEnv() works fine.

Be more intelligent about sorting lib tree items. (Footprint
entries, for instance, come out of an already-sorted list.)
Don't recreate menus twice when laoding Footprint Editor.
More pervasive use of WX_FILENAME to avoid expensive calls to
wxFileName::SplitPath() and string concatenation.
For POSIX kernels do all the work on the file-system side so we
don't have to keep converting back and forth between encodings.
Cache the footprint info on disk (in the project).
Move timestamp-generation (and checking) to the filesystem so the
above will be bullet-proof.
Rewrite some wxWidgets classes for performance (see common.h).
Recent versions of wxWidgets wxStandardPaths::GetUserConfigDir() correctly
append ".config" on Linux build which was incorrect as the current code
already appended it to the path. Add a check to see if ".config" is the
last path and append as required.
Check for XDG_CONFIG_HOME environment variable on all platforms not just
Linux.
