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.
This also removes vector cover types which do nothing except obfuscate
the underlying implementation.
Mainly changes SCH_SHEET_PINS and CONFIG_PARAM_ARRAY (which will soon
be replaced by Jon's new stuff).
In .gbrjob file, one can specify the thickness and color of some layers.
Currently, there is no way to enter these parameters.
This commit prepare a better support of .gbrjob files.
This places the arc approximation setting in the kicad_pcb file and uses
it for all parts of the board rendering where arcs are converted to
segments. This allows the user to customize their speed vs. accuracy
tradeoff. The default setting of maximum error of 0.005mm is acceptable
for small boards on moderate systems.
For legacy boards, the setting is picked up from the board outline
thickness. If the board outline has mixed thicknesses, then the
max is used and a warning is displayed.

The previous clearance values were equivalent to the default copper
clearance, which could cause issues for users who didn't adjust the
values and had alignment errors at the board house. New values default
to typical dry film minimums.

Also move courtyard testing flags to BoardSettings API. Both are
still stored in the config until we decide where they go in order
to prevent prematurely disturbing the board file format.
