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.
Previously, the GAL_DISPLAY_OPTIONS object in FOOTPRINT_PREVIEW_PANEL::New
was passed by reference in the ctor, down to EDA_DRAW_PANEL_GAL, which stored
it as a reference. The object in New() then goes out of scope, so the
referencing panel outlives the options.
Fix this by making a copy in a std::unique_ptr of the options, and giving
ownership to the panel.
There is another issue here: when the Pcbnew options are copies, the
OBSERVABLE subscriber list is copied too. This means if the panel called
NotifyChanged() on the options, Pcbnew would get updates, even though a copy
of the options changed. However, the panel doesn't change the options or
notify, so it's OK for now.
- support for background color setting
- removed several global config settings (such as g_Drc_On)
- wrapped most of global config settings in PCB_GENERAL_SETTINGS class
- reorganized PCB general options dialog to clearly mark which options concern only the legacy canvas
- new GAL feature for legacy users: double-click (or E) to change track width available as an option.

- Pull out compound widget bits into FOOTPRINT_PREVIEW_WIDGET
