The rebuildLayerStackPanel() reads from the current board to setup the
panel. We maintain the board swap until after the setup is completed

If we keep doing design validations at two different places, they can
only start to drift apart. Board Setup should validate for malformed
data ONLY; everything else is the business of DRC.
This also fixes a bug where implementation validations would not allow
OK in the dialog, but wouldn't put up a message to say why. We now use
the InfoBar impl from Jon's commit for that.
For some kinds of issues, we want a way to point them out but
we don't need to keep the user from being able to close the
dialog. A separate Validate button lets the user check for
issues if desired, but these issues are not "fatal" and can
be ignored if the user wishes.
Display warning infobar in the board/schematic setup when no project
is loaded, since most of the settings in those dialogs are saved in
the project and not in the board/schematic file.

When importing settings from a board with more copper layers and applying it
to a board with less copper layers, if the user has ticked the checkbox
"Layer settings", then KiCad will delete the inner copper layers. Only
when the user clicks OK does it then warn that it found deleted items on inner
layers. The message is too generic and comes after the layers have already
been deleted.
This Merge Request tries to address this by warning them early. The changes are:
1 - Added code to check if user is trying to import settings from a
board with less copper layers than the current loaded board. This
results in KiCad deleting inner copper layers. Now it presents a
warning dialog that explains the current settings will result in deleted
inner layers, and lets the user stop the import process before making any changes.
2 - Made "Import Settings" dialog disable "Import Settings" button
until at least one import option checkbox is checked.
3 - Made "Select All" button on "Import Settings" dialog toggle
between "Select All" and "Deselect All" on each click.
Items 2&3 were added to improve the overall import settings usability
experience.
Fixes issue https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/-/issues/4904
ADDED Eeschema-specific netclass settings including wire and bus
thickness, color, and line style.
Netclasses override individual wire & bus colors and line styles.
If that proves an issue we might look at something more sophisticated
with inheritance.

Various architecture upgrades to support this.
Creating a BOARD now requires a valid PROJECT, which caused
some (mostly transparent) changes to the Python API internals.
ADDED: Project local settings file
CHANGED: Board design settings are no longer stored in PCB file
CHANGED: Net classes are no longer stored in PCB file
CHANGED: Importing board settings now reads boards, not just projects
