Wayne Stambaugh 188232de6f Pcbnew: add user defined layers and allow all layers to have user names.
This changes the file format.  All previous copper layers that had a user
defined name are forced back to the canonical name and the user defined
name is stored as an optional quoted string in the layer definition and
only used for UI and plotting purposes.  All copper object layer names
are now the canonical name for internal file use.

ADDED: Nine new user definable non-copper layers that can be optionally
added to the board layer stack.

CHANGED: All board layers can now be renamed by the user.

CHANGED: User defined layer names can now contain space characters.

jean-pierre charras 544867cf2a ADD: layer stack manager: support of multilayer dielectric between 2 copper layers
This feature is useful for advanced microwave applications.
This is the last missing feature in the board stackup management.

jean-pierre charras 2b201487e1 Board stackup manager: prepare code to allow multiple dielectric material by layer.
For advanced microwave applications, sometime a dielectric between 2 copper layers
must be itself created by a stack of different materials.

jean-pierre charras c1eee56785 Prepare changes to support a better board stack management in .gbrjob file.
In .gbrjob file, one can specify the thickness and color of some layers.
Currently, there is no way to enter these parameters.
This commit prepare a better support of .gbrjob files.
