While we already cache the loaded footprint files, parsing said files
into the list is also time-intensive. Since the FOOTPRINT_LIST is
already hash-stamped against the current timestamps of the files that
make up the list, sharing a single copy of the list is quite
straight-forward.
For some DRC checks, the location of the marker is not the location
of the first item in the resulting DRC_ITEM, so centering the screen
on PointA of the DRC_ITEM can be confusing.
- changed EAGLE_UNIT enum names from EAGLE_* to EU_*
- renamed ToNanoMeters() to ConvertToNm() and added a comment
- added ToMils() and ToNanoMeters() method
This primarily keeps us from overriding "truth" with data that
might not have even been saved when closing ModEdit.

Normal SetValue() call would temporarily change the displayed
value, but as soon as the text widget receives focus again, the original
expression (not evaluated) is restored.
To avoid this, the original expression is cleared in the associated
NumericEvaluator object.
If ',' is used as decimal separator by the current locale a '.' is also accepted.
Also add support for units "mi", "th" and "in" as described in the documentation of pcbnew.

Frame, dialog and config file couldn't agree on whether to use
internal units or not.
Frame now stores internal units, and they're now mapped on the
way in/out of the config file. Dialog was already assuming they
were stored in internal units (though they were previuosly not).

Too many external applications fail to touch the parent directory.
Also removes FP_CACHE_ITEM lastMod times and dirty flags as we've
always loaded libraries atomically anyway.
Claws back some of the performance lost by being more efficient
with cache management for sequential calls to Enumerate and then
Load.

Add a library selector to the save dialog. Initialize it to the
footprint's library. This way a straigh-up save will do what's
expected.
However, the user can still select the active library (or any
other library) if they really did want to move the footprint.
