The variables in the common settings struct are only updated on
save, so Python must use the ones from Pgm to get its values.
This does lead to the observation that Python's changes to the
variables do affect KiCad (they can break resolvers). So apparently
it can mess with us but we can't mess with it easily.
Also, improve the environment variable tracing infrastructure to capture
more changes.
Had to get rid of the regex as Search actually changes the user's
selection, which is not what we want. (It wasn't earlier because
the search would always fail due to the typo.)
It's much faster now that we're not scanning from the beginning every
time.
Eeschema and Pcbnew display the same dialog panels in a different order
in the 'Preferences' tree. This code make Pcbnew match the order of
Eeschema.

The frame contains the main option set that is used for setting the UI
state, so it must be updated. The frame also updates the view when set,
so calling the view separately to update the options isn't needed.

Connectivity takes an absolute approach to whether elements are
connected. DRC will be adjusted to check to illegal necks that are less
than the board minimum width
Handling ratsnest requires first checking for modules, handling their
pads and then checking that the remaining elements derive from
BOARD_CONNECTED_ITEM

This option removes copper layers from pads and vias where they are not
connected to other board elements. This allows the inner layers to be
more closely routed if the via landing pad is not needed.

This ensures the colors used by the status text pane in the preview
widget are the same as the canvas, so there is a seemless transition
between the two.
Additionally, remove the scrollbars from the symbol preview widget
in the place symbol dialog - they are pointless.
Before this, the environment variables inside Python wouldn't reflect
the updates to them made after the interpreter was started in Pcbnew.
This will call into Python and set the variables when they are changed,
since Python can't synchronize itself when running in an embedded
interpreter.

This isn't truely correct, because it is pointing to the
main KiCad path, but it is more correct than pointing to
the system path. This should really be pointing to the
user path
