Various architecture upgrades to support this.
Creating a BOARD now requires a valid PROJECT, which caused
some (mostly transparent) changes to the Python API internals.
ADDED: Project local settings file
CHANGED: Board design settings are no longer stored in PCB file
CHANGED: Net classes are no longer stored in PCB file
CHANGED: Importing board settings now reads boards, not just projects

Replace SEVERITY_ERROR by RPT_SEVERITY_ERROR to avoid collision with a system definition.
Replace other SEVERITY_XXX by RPT_SEVERITY_XX for consistency.
Fix compil warnings and some other compil issues.
This means that utility programs no longer have to be manually
added to the COMBINED_UTILITY, they self-register their
information at static init time. This is basically the same concept
as the Boost test registration.
All utilities need to do now is register their UTILITY_PROGRAM info
struct with the UTILITY_REGISTRY::Register method. No headers required.
SCOPED_TIMER is a QA-only simpler version of PROF_COUNTER.
Extend PROF_COUNTER to allow access to the std::chrono::duration
for more flexibility.
Wrap PROF_COUNTER in SCOPED_PROF_COUNTER for RAII duration
output (for the same effect as SCOPED_TIMER).
Move into own include directory for clarity. Also allows qa_utils
to use its own private headers in qa/qa_utils without exposing them
through the target_include_directories directive.
Several pcbnew_tools utilities read a file from the command line.
Instead of replicating this code, centralise the code in
qa_pcbnew_utils, which allows simpler reuse.
THe utilities are:
* polygon_triangulation
* polygon_generator
* drc_tool
pcb_parser keeps its own function, as that is the focus of the tool,
and its likely to have its own instrumention.
This also adds the ability to read from stdin for the above tools,
which means fuzz testers could theoretically work with them, and it
also can make life easier if you can pipe a board to the executable
directly.
Add a tool that allows a user to run DRC functions
on a given KiCad PCB file.
The first available functions are the courtyard functions.
Also move most of the utility program logic into qa_util for
better reusability.
