Using CopyFile() that can collide with a windows header create hard to
understand errors, including link errors.
Renaming this function avoids these strange errors.
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
Better fix than a0df876d
For new users, if this folder does not exist, saving colors does not work,
because if this folder does not exist, it is not created.
For now, much of KiCad depends on Prj() working, so when we
are asked to unload a project, immediately load the null project
so that nothing breaks.

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.
Fixes https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/issues/5071
Store list of previously open projects only in kicad.json
Keep all management of open projects in SETTINGS_MANAGER
Also add kicadSettings() for convenience
The fix convert all std::string storing a path to wxString (unicode support)
wxString were already used at many place to store paths, but not all.
For internal calculations mixing char strings and wide char strings is a recipe
for bug: any missing conversion between UTF8 and wxString breaks paths.
- Fix file extension for new project
- Fixes for exceptions on MSW
- Fix some ASAN issues
- Allow SETTINGS_MANAGER to run headless
- Don't flag schematic as modified after schematic setup is closed
- Don't automatically unload projects when LoadProject is called
- Don't unload project if it's the same as the current one
- Make sure to properly init/de-init template field names
Per discussion on the developers list, this old system
no longer provides much value and is seen as annoying
by many users. The new save logic should prevent any
cases of file corruption on save, which was a major
reason for the backup file system existing.

Various architecture upgrades to support this.
Creating a BOARD now requires a valid PROJECT, which caused
some (mostly transparent) changes to the Python API internals.
ADDED: Project local settings file
CHANGED: Board design settings are no longer stored in PCB file
CHANGED: Net classes are no longer stored in PCB file
CHANGED: Importing board settings now reads boards, not just projects
Fixes https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/-/issues/2578
Fixes https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/-/issues/4070
Let cmake generate the needed version strings, so we don't
have to spend program time doing it. This simplifies the
settings manager versioning.
Also, convert some file line endings to UNIX from Windows.
A more robust fix for https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/-/issues/4015.
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.
