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.
The old methods were very clunky and not recommended (and didn't
properly cast the function types). This changes to useing the
recommended way of declaring events and casting the event handlers.
the old way was not compatible with the current management if board item lists.
The crash was probably due to double deletions.
Note also the management of undo command in pcbnew_action_plugins needs serious optimization.

Fix Board.GetAllNetClasses() so it no longer creates a duplicate of the Default netclass in the design rules net classes list.

* Remove infinite recursion calls in footprint.i
* Extend DRAWINGS deque iterator to auto cast contained BOARD_ITEMS,
similar to what dlist implementation did.
Always check the return value of PyRun_SimpleString() for errors when a
Python script is run and show an error message rather than fail silently.
Enable Python interpreter I/O redirection in debug builds so that script
string errors will be shown when PyRun_SimpleString() is called.
Do not call PyErr_Print() after a PyRun_SimpleString() call failure. It
doesn't do anything useful.
Do not call Py_Finalize() after a PyRun_SimpleString() call failure. It
seems to cause Pcbnew to crash.
Give the user the option of cancelling a file open if there are
segment zones; otherwise they're converted to polygon fills.

When moving user user units out of the global, we missed that Python
calls were using it. This re-adds a function to retrieve user units
allowing the python scripts to show users dialogs in their preferred
units.
Phoenix doesn't have the same initialization as wxpython3 and so the
namespace doesn't get the wxApp() initialized to the existing instance.
In python, this is worked around by starting a new wxApp.
Unfortunately, this appears to overwrite the existing global instance
variable. The issue _appears_ to be in Phoenix but for now we work
around it by saving and resetting the instance pointer in the main app.
The downside is that Python likely won't be able to respond to events
from C++

When loading the load using the UI, netclasses and net info are
synchronized to the board object after parsing the file. This needs to
happen automatically when loading the board via the Python interface as
well.

The implementation relied on the fact that PyString_AsString is returning NULL
for invalid inputs (and causing an error condition), which is then fixed by the
call to FROM_UTF8. Now, we will simply return an empty string if Py_None is
returned by a python fuction, which resemebles the old behaviour of those methods
