Add missing calls to Show( false ) to some main frames (Kicad, eeschema, gerbview), to force config saving when closing these windows.
Code cleanup and minor coding style fixes in footprint_wizard_frame.
The desire is to migrate designs *away from* case independence, and to create
designs which use literally (case specific) interpreted component names. But for
backwards compatibility, you may turn OFF this option if you really must.
(Remember that with KiCad using text data files, typically you would be better
off simply doctoring those files into a case literal state with a text editor
and move forward into the brave new world of case specificity. Also, BOM
generators may not work properly when you have this option turned OFF, the xml
export's referential integrity is broken on library part name. Hence the default
is ON now, as of 29-Jan-2014.

Fixed crashes of ratsnest when a pointer for an item has changed after undo/redo operations.
Vias are properly removed from ratsnest (pcbnew/class_board.cpp).
RN_DATA::Update()/AddSimple() take BOARD_ITEM* as the parameter (instead of being split to versions with BOARD_CONNECTED_ITEM* and MODULE*), to make the code look clearer.
Now, nets are saved with consecutive net codes (both modern & legacy plugins).
Zones are saved together with their nets, without depending on the fact if there are any pads with such net. Therefore validation of zone net names was removed (pcbnew/class_board.cpp).
Performed tests:
- Changed a pad's net name from empty to existent - ok, name was changed.
- Changed a pad's net name from empty to nonexistent - ok, error message is displayed, net name stays empty.
- Changed a pad's net name from existent to empty - ok, net name became empty
- Changed a pad's net name from existent to nonexistent - ok, error message is displayed, net name is not changed.
- Drawn a zone that belongs to a net, then modified schematics so the net does not exist anymore. After reloading the net list, all pads/tracks are updated. Zones still belongs to the net that does not exist in the schematic (but still exists in .kicad_pcb file). After running DRC, the zone becomes not filled.
- Undo & redo affects assignment of a polygon to a specific net (you may change net of a polygon, refill it and undo/redo the changes).
- KiCad s-expr & legacy, Eagle, P-CAD boards seem to load without any problem (they also contain correct net names assigned to the appropriate pads). All types of board file formats were loaded, then saved in sexpr format and reopened with a KiCad built from the master branch (without my modifications).
- A few boards were also saved using the legacy format and were opened with the master KiCad without any issues.
- Change a net name for a pad, restore with undo/redo - ok
- Remove everything, restore with undo - ok
- Remove everything, reload netlist - ok
Differences observed between files saved by the master branch KiCad and this one:
- list of nets are not saved in any particular order, so net codes may differ
- the default net class does not contain the unconnected net
