ADDED: with cmake KICAD_MACOSX_APP_BUNDLE option the user can disable
the macOS app bundle creation when compiling on macOS. This permit to
use/install KiCad like any other *nix platform (/usr/bin, /usr/share,
ecc.). By default, cmake build the app bundle.
Unused variables in function calls can be commented out. Unused
return variables get a new routine `ignore_unused()` that silences the
warnings with zero overhead.
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.

Ratsnest did not need a reserve and then iterative emplace. Instead, we
use resize(). Stroke font gets private vars initialized and kiway
variables that are only used in debug builds are properly scoped for
releases as well
The crash is inside wxDynamicLibrary::Load() when loading Eeschema,
and hard to find on Windows (gdb shows nothing).
Perhaps due to some issue with a specific string.
The fix is to switch to "C" locale with LC_COLLATE option to load the dll.

In singletop mode, all frames show the "Quit" option in the file menu
and will quit on Ctrl-Q. When launched from the main KiCad interface,
sub-programs show the "Close" option instead and will close with Ctrl-W.
In this mode, Ctrl-Q will instruct the main program to exit.

This is useful when working on code paths that rely on KiWay
communications, since you can run and debug the kicad application
without needing to run an install task first.
This allows us to make the various netlist and pcb update routines
more atomic and less reliant on carefully sequenced asynchronous
messages.
This is also a prelude to adding support for footprint testing
without a netlist.
The standard DIM() macro was not typesafe as it happily deferred errors
to runtime that can be caught at compile time. Replacing it with a
generic C++11 constexpr allows for typecasting, comparison and compile
time error checking.
This prevents deadlocks when exceptions are thrown and the context
ends up not getting unlocked.
It also removes an earlier hack to try and minimize this which
didn't work anyway.
