This option removes copper layers from pads and vias where they are not
connected to other board elements. This allows the inner layers to be
more closely routed if the via landing pad is not needed.

This ensures the colors used by the status text pane in the preview
widget are the same as the canvas, so there is a seemless transition
between the two.
Additionally, remove the scrollbars from the symbol preview widget
in the place symbol dialog - they are pointless.
This is the proper fix for the symbole preview widget. It will ensure
there are no size changes between the two panels (preview and status),
and also ensure that the status panel has the same background color as
the preview panel.

Before this, the environment variables inside Python wouldn't reflect
the updates to them made after the interpreter was started in Pcbnew.
This will call into Python and set the variables when they are changed,
since Python can't synchronize itself when running in an embedded
interpreter.

This isn't truely correct, because it is pointing to the
main KiCad path, but it is more correct than pointing to
the system path. This should really be pointing to the
user path

ADDED: Progress indicator in the taskbar
This adds a progress indicator to the Windows and macOS taskbar
icons to display the progress of some operations.
Note, this requires wxWidgets 3.1+
KiCad stores 3D cache files but never gets rid of any of them.
This patch adds a new function called 'CleanCacheDir()'. Any cache
files older than the passed 'number of days' parameter are deleted.

Previously it would just not open any project at all. This
was a problem for some launchers, which would pass an empty string
when no file is passed by the user.

PROJECT objects will be deleted by SETTINGS_MANAGER::UnloadProject
so we need to make sure that this is called at an early enough point
in the closing process that anything needed by the PROJECT dtor
is still around.
Also fix an issue where the schematic worksheet was depending on
the project existing after the schematic had been reset.
Store list of previously open projects only in kicad.json
Keep all management of open projects in SETTINGS_MANAGER
Also add kicadSettings() for convenience
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.

Connecting zone-to-zone, we need to allow for the stroke-width in
old-style polygons.
Also, speed up the calculation by skipping zone points that do not fall
inside the matching BBox
