Wayne Stambaugh b889ecaab2 Fix broken Python plugin developer's document.
Apparently curly brace escaping in a list does not work with Doxygen's
markdown support which caused everything after the windows install path
to be removed from the output build.  I just fell back to the windows
environment variable expansion character (%) and that resolved the issue.

John Beard bed0667712 Docs: Advanced config is explicity experimental
Any advanced config option is not to be considered production-ready,
so make this clear in the dev-docs.

John Beard a33a8292a4 Run-time config for advanced options
This can be used for "advanced" options which are for developers
to use for feature-flags and other configuration. Run time config
has some advantages over preprocessor defines:

* Can be changed without recompilation
   * Sensitive to XDG_CONFIG_DIR, so flipping configs is easy
* Better compiler coverage (less conditionally compiled code means
  less chance to break a different configuration). Also better
  analysis coverage.
* Type safe config params
* Centralised documentation: it's in doxygen, in one place

No advanced config should be required by a general users. If a general
user does use one of these configs, it's probably because:

* There is a bug and one of these configs is a workaround
* A config in here is generally useful and should be moved into the
  relevant application config and given UI.

For now, the config is read-only, and is read from the
"kicad_advanced" config file in the normal config dir.

John Beard 5a0318968f Break zoom control into a self-contained controller
This is done to avoid a big chunk of conditionally-compiled code
in the middle of the event function.

Also separates the zoom logic from the WX_VIEW_CONTROLS object
and isolates it in a separate class behind a clearer interface.

Add some simple tests for sane steps on GTK+3-sized scroll
steps.

John Beard ee819216e2 QA: Make a separate unit test utils library, COLOR4D tests
This includes:

* Linkage against the Boost unit test libs
* Configuration of the Boost libs
* A place for common generics "extras" for unit test harnesses
  including
    * A simple way to allow "expected-failure" tests (without
      breaking Boost < 1.58, e.g. Ubuntu LTS)
    * Moving some simple numeric predicates from the geom tests
      to the utils library.

Expand unit test docs to describe the expected failures macro.

Add a few COLOR4D tests, including one with expected failures due
to a pre-existing bug. This will be fixed in a follow-up commit.

Based on the work of @mmccoo:
https://kicad.mmccoo.com/2017/11/23/learnings-from-moving-kicad-to-wxpython-4-0/
and this additional patchset to remove wxpy_api.h dependency:
http://mmccoo.com/random/0001-Remove-dependence-on-pywx_api.h.patch

Please note CreatePythonShellWindow changed quite a lot. Throughful testing
should be made for the old as well as new wxPython version on all platforms

John Beard acd103631b QA: PCB file input parse test program (fuzzable)
This adds a test program which can be used to test the
parsing of a given KiCad PCB file. This interface is
useful for both manual or automated debugging of given
files, as well as providing an interface suitable for
fuzz-testing tools.

Also adds to the testing docs to detail how fuzzing can
be used.

Also moves some useful re-usable code from io-benchmark
to a new library qa_utils, which can contain code that
isn't need in the actual KiCad libs.

John Beard 930f3dd74f Documentation: add logo to Doxygen pages
This adds a small KiCad logo in the top left of the Doxygen pages.

54px used as 55px is maximum recommended height for Doxygen logos.

For the main docs and the dev docs, this is easily done in the Doxyfile,
for the Python docs, as that is run from the binary dir, the source dir
is passed as an Environment variable.
