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.
Some windows systems will not fall back correctly on our standard
initialization step, so we need the additional std:: error fall back to
catch them.
Fixes#2620 | https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/issues/2620
Autosave was not working correctly, partly due to different
implementations in eeschema and pcbnew and partly due to a mistaken
refactor at some point during v5 development. This unifies the expected
autosave prefix to _autosave- for both pcbnew and eeschema. It also
unifies the expected suffix for the backup files to -bak.

When starting Eeschema, or a frame/dialog using a SCH_DRAW_PANEL, the bg color was initialized too late,
thus creating a flicker or an annoying draw artifact (in SYMBOL_PREVIEW_WIDGET for instance) if a Paint event
is fired before the right bg color is initialized.
Initializing the bg color earlier fix this issue.

This makes using Scrollbars more easy to use, especially for "small" page sizes like A or B.
Note also the working/drawing area size is bigger than the page size (3 times)
The crash happens when a wxPaint event is fired after deleting the schematic frame.
It happened only on one Linux install.

Seems rather expensive, but this is what the Legacy canvas did.
In fairness, it does check the last-mod-date of the libraries
and skips it if they haven't changed.
