Reduce each (Accel & Fallback) to 3 options: Off, Fast, Good. Fast AA
in accelerated canvas uses SMAA with tweaks suggested by David Beinder.
Good AA is super-sampled x2.
Cairo is similarly reduced to Off, Fast, Good, which map to the Cairo
options themselves. Best is removed as it mostly affects text rendering
and not line drawing (as our text is)
Moves the OpenGL AA options to the same Fast/Balanced/HQ options as used
in Fallback. Fast and Balanced are the SMAA options, with decreasing
threshholds and more processing in the balanced version. HQ is
supersampling x2. This takes more memory and may not work for HiDPI
screens with underpowered graphics cards. But it looks the best of the
three options.
The SSx4 option is removed as it added little benefit in either regular
or HiDPI screens

CHANGED: Environment variables defined outside of KiCad will no longer
be saved in the settings file. Paths can be configured via
the Configure Paths dialog and those changes will be saved in
the settings file if the new path is different from the default
and the path variable was not defined in the system environment.
These settings objects could be created in a constructor/destructor
so we should catch the exception since those are noexcept.
Also change the settings trace to match the other kicad traces
as KICAD_SETTINGS
KiCad stores 3D cache files but never gets rid of any of them.
This patch adds a new function called 'CleanCacheDir()'. Any cache
files older than the passed 'number of days' parameter are deleted.

As of ab83c862, the canvas scaling setting is now used on OSX
(before it was ignored). Legacy settings would have this set to 1.0,
which would not automatically scale the canvas and break on Retina
displays. OSX auto detection works well enough in wx 3.0, so we
can use it now.
You can now choose the behavior of dragging with the
middle and right mouse buttons.
You can also choose which modifier keys to use for
panning and zooming with the scroll wheel or trackpad.
You can also customize the zoom speed, which makes
it possible to have a good zoom experience on a wider
range of input devices.
You can also now zoom by dragging with the right or
middle button if desired.
