The hotkey name "Help (this window)" does not describe what the hotkey
and associated action does. It displays the current hotkey list, so the
action name should reflect that behavior
NEW: Adds support to browse project directory in default file manager in the host OS
CHANGED: Main frame's Browse menu now contains third option to Browse Project Files
Fixes: lp:1584977

Also updates the file menu IDs so that we can actually handle
more than 9 items in the file history.
Also adds configurable file history length to the other gerber
files (zip, drill and job).

Major cleanup of many icons (started as a simple effort to tweak libedit and modedit icons)
Ref: https://lists.launchpad.net/kicad-developers/msg32860.html
* Each application icon has been updated
* Consolidated icon "modifiers" across many icons
* Replaced confusing arrows with "load" and "save" icons
* Slight code updates to reference correct icons
* Consolidate multiple representations of single icon type(s)
This is meant as a stopgap for 5.0, with plans to add proper scaled
icons in the 6.0 cycle. A function KiScaledBitmap() is added, which
works like KiBitmap() except it scales the bitmap according to the
calling window's font size. Controls have been added to all the main
applications to let the user select scaling manually (these were omitted
from smaller apps that didn't already have a place to put them).
In addition, in eeschema only, the pixel height of the system font is
shown in the options dialog for diagnostics. This is only for collecting
feedback before 5.0 release from users with different displays and will
be removed.
Add tests to check for existing files before copying template files.
Split load project, create new project, create new project from template,
and load project from history command events into simple methods that
perform the correct actions before loading the project. This greatly
simplifies the code.
Create a load project method that can be called from the event handlers
above. This simplified a lot of duplicate code that existed in many of
these event handlers.
Remove the dummy "noname.pro" file creation which created required some
ugly code to prevent this file from being created unexpectedly. Now
KiCad launches without setting a project file name when appropriate.
Fixes lp:1713951

This function has two conflicting definitions in the "kicad" executable and
the other wrapper programs. As the kifaces can be loaded from either, this
silently assumes compatible data layout for the PGM_KICAD and PGM_BASE
types when passed by reference, which is valid only when the compiler is
aware of the cast.
If the return type is encoded in the symbol name (such as when using the
MSVC compiler), this also causes an error during linking, as the symbol
names no longer match.
* Make the about dialog help string consistent across all menus.
* Improve print preview window and print initialization error messages.
* The usual smattering of coding policy fixes.
* Disable Eeschema, Component Editor, Pcbnew, and Footprint Editor toolbar
buttons and menu entries to prevent them from creating project, schematic,
and/or board files.
* Remove global s_NetObjectslist.
* Separate out non-owning version of NETLIST_OBJECTS_LIST into NETLIST_OBJECTS.
* Fix double free pertaining to ~NETLIST_READER().
* Remove all file-io from CvPCB.
* Remove exe launcher cvpcb, retain only cvpcb.kiface, since cvpcb.kiface has no file i/o.
* Add void CVPCB_MAINFRAME::KiwayMailIn( KIWAY_EXPRESS& mail ) and teach it to use old
netlist loading code with a STRING_LINE_READER LINE_READER.
* Fix BEGIN_EVENT_TABLE( CVPCB_MAINFRAME, KIWAY_PLAYER )
* Use "Close" in the file menu of every main frame window instead of the
mismatch of the terms "Close", "Exit", and "Quit".
* Change the terminology in the Pcbnew graphic text edit dialog to match the
module text edit dialog.
* Improve the layout of the Pcbnew graphic text dialog.
* Fix some wxPrintf parameter type assertions for 64 bit time_t.
* Fix all (at least I think I got all of them) duplicate menu accelerator
characters.
Previously, only the lib named "power" was used (and therefore power parts defined in other libs not shown).
Now, all power parts can be loaded from any library.
Also, when loading power parts from the chose component dialog or the lib viewer, libs and parts are filtered: only power parts and libs containing power parts are listed.
Hotkeys: move a few global strings in the files where ther are actually used (and make them local.) and code cleaning.
Fix a few other minor issues.
* Create new dialog to edit environment variables.
* Add helper class ENV_VAR_ITEM to manage environment variable values and
if they were defined externally.
* A path configuration dialog access to KiCad, CvPcb, Pcbnew, and Footprint Editor
window menus.
* Add validator for environment variables.
