It's too expensive to fetch the timestamps when the github
server is busy. See Dick Hollenbeck's comments at the top of
github_plugin.cpp for more info.
Also adds some safety to the other caching algorithms after
seeing github_plugin's wild-west usage of the kicad_plugin.

Normal SetValue() call would temporarily change the displayed
value, but as soon as the text widget receives focus again, the original
expression (not evaluated) is restored.
To avoid this, the original expression is cleared in the associated
NumericEvaluator object.
Since we are going to inspect every item for these calls, we don't
need to use the RTREE search, which is expensive with high item count.
This results in ~50% improvement in layer switching time in GerbView
when working with a set of large Gerber files.
If ',' is used as decimal separator by the current locale a '.' is also accepted.
Also add support for units "mi", "th" and "in" as described in the documentation of pcbnew.

Too many external applications fail to touch the parent directory.
Also removes FP_CACHE_ITEM lastMod times and dirty flags as we've
always loaded libraries atomically anyway.
Claws back some of the performance lost by being more efficient
with cache management for sequential calls to Enumerate and then
Load.

Add a library selector to the save dialog. Initialize it to the
footprint's library. This way a straigh-up save will do what's
expected.
However, the user can still select the active library (or any
other library) if they really did want to move the footprint.

Also adds indicators in layers palette for feedback.
Also generates sized images for all indicators instead of using
scaled bitmaps (which didn't look great).
Also fixes a completely unrelated typo in a UI string.
Includes some dialog changes to go with the menu update.
Includes promoting the Pcbnew graphics mode back to main menu.
Includes renaming Graphics modes to Toolsets.
