Two main changes: netclass values need to go through the DRC engine
so they can interact with other rules. They're also now dependent
on the layer being routed as well as the start object.
Also make the controls adjust to each other better. For instance,
copy-track-width needs to turn off when you select a particular
track width, and a particular track width needs to zero out when
you choose copy-track-width.

Also simplifies groups so that other areas of code that have to know
about them at least don't have to know as much. One of the simplifications
is to not worry so much about empty groups until save time; others are in
the access logic to parent groups.
Also simplifies user model slightly by removing Merge and Flatten
(which are just ungroup/group and ungroup/ungroup/.../group).
Also allows multiple groups to have the same name. This is useful when
using groups for a classification system.

ADDED memberOf() function for DRC rule expressions.
Also fixes a bug in several of the pickers where the event wasn't
being correctly passed.

This may affect other EDA_DRAW_FRAME objects as well but it doesn't seem
to be as noticeable in the symbol, footprint, and worksheet editors.

Before this, the environment variables inside Python wouldn't reflect
the updates to them made after the interpreter was started in Pcbnew.
This will call into Python and set the variables when they are changed,
since Python can't synchronize itself when running in an embedded
interpreter.

Per discussion on the developers list, this old system
no longer provides much value and is seen as annoying
by many users. The new save logic should prevent any
cases of file corruption on save, which was a major
reason for the backup file system existing.

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

* Consolidate the measure tool into one tool (this gives cvpcb
unit changing and snapping capabilities in its measure tool)
* Transition cvpcb to use actions for the sketch modes
* Replumb how magnetic items settings are stored and used
Keeping a pointer to the actual file history inside a special
file history menu led to many cases of use after free crashes,
so instead rework the actual file history to add the menu
items.

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.
This also removes vector cover types which do nothing except obfuscate
the underlying implementation.
Mainly changes SCH_SHEET_PINS and CONFIG_PARAM_ARRAY (which will soon
be replaced by Jon's new stuff).
