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.
We have forbidden lists maintained in 3 separate locations. This causes
a bit of confusion as to which is correct.
This makes the list uniform but remains to place the character set in a
single location.
This was always possible from modal browsers and from the footprint
editor, but it's now also possible from non-modal browsers and the
symbol editor.

When prompting for a new footprint library, we need to treat the input
as a file for creation rather than a directory for selection.
Otherwise, users cannot specify the name of their new footprint library
independently of the existing directory names.

Use the AddFileExtListToFilter() to also generate the
wildcard for "all files". This is because:
* Users can use AddFileExtListToFilter for the all files WC
with the same interface as for any other extensions.
* Users do not need to worry about wxGetTranslation, as the
_() is applied in the same way as the other *Wildcard() helpers,
and it is a function just like the others, so it is consistent
* There is a testable interface to document the expected result.
The test is added.
When importing footprints, some are generated with non-standard (e.g.
"mod") extensions. As a last option, we allow the * wildcard to select
these files for import.
Adds Cut/Copy/Paste and Revert for footprints; introduces a new
shared Revert Changes? dialog; hooks up Add Library for footprints,
standardizes the Save As terminology.
Using Title + Message wasn't working for all the dialogs which
did substitutions in the message (which was a lot of them).

There's no point in having both Save Symbol and Save Library when
only one can be selected at a time.
Also cleans up a bunch of extraneous icons, and fixes a few
copy/paste errors in menus and toolbars.
