Versions specific variables that may point to objects that change
through versions, allowing multiple KiCad versions to operate correctly
(even on MSW) on the same machine.
So the new steals-focus protection stuff works well when there's a
focused control, but not as well when there's a modal dialog up which
happens not to have a focused control (or worse, a focusable control).
This adds a second mechanism for also checking to see if a modal dialog
is up (something that wxWidgets, true to form, makes very difficult).

The previous fix (d4461f6) removed all vars before re-add them.
Clear all vars created issues with externally defined variables (the internal
initial value was lost)
Now only old, no longer existing, vars are deleted.
Fix also a potential issue related to non ASCII7 in last stored path.
When updating common environment variables list, the initial list was never
deleted. Therefore one could not remove an existing var.
The common environment variables list is now deleted before updating.
Flags != language See http://www.flagsarenotlanguages.com We now use
local, untranslated language names for all languages.
Languages that have not been updated in >5 years and have less than 15%
of available strings translated have been removed from the menu options.
If a translator steps up to update the .po files, we can re-add them
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.
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.
It's a bit of a hack because they're statically initialized and
so we can't make use of the _() macro. We do still want it in the
code, however, because the string harvesting is based off of it.

When we assign a string to the wxFilename, it takes the last section as
the filename (unless there is a trailing '/'). So on Linux, we got
/home/user for the Documents dir and /home/ was the directory while
'user' was the filename. Appending directories 'kicad/templates' made
the final directory '/home/kicad/templates'. Forcing this to be a
directory restores correct behavior.
(cherry picked from commit 0ee38653f7)
The standard DIM() macro was not typesafe as it happily deferred errors
to runtime that can be caught at compile time. Replacing it with a
generic C++11 constexpr allows for typecasting, comparison and compile
time error checking.
Cairo supports antialiasing when rendering but can be slow when set to
sub-pixel mode. This bumps the minimum version of Cairo to 1.12
(available in 14.04 LTS as well as mingw) to support three antialias
settings (fast, good, best) that offer speed/appearance tradeoffs.
This can provide a higher-quality eeschema render as it works on a
per-element basis as opposed to the OpenGL per-screen antialias.
Replace all instances of wxLogDebug with wxLogTrace in the common and
kicad folders to prevent unwanted debugging output.
Add new trace flags for locale and screen object tracing.
The usual smattering of code policy fixes.
Split antialiasing options out from display options. Move
antialiasing to common. Duplicate the rest of display options
for Eeschema.
Implement OnSelectGrid and hookup GAL canvas refresh to
SetPresetGrid.
Add Grid Settings... to View menu and move Show Grid from
preferences to View Menu to match Pcbnew.
LC_NUMERIC is the right option to use in LOCALE_IO because only the floating point separator must be modified
When using LC_ALL, the Env var expansion wxGetEnv() was not working when the env var contains non ascii7 codes after a call to LOCALE_IO.
When using setlocale( LC_NUMERIC, "C" ) in LOCALE_IO, wxGetEnv() works fine.

Also updates the file menu IDs so that we can actually handle
more than 9 items in the file history.
Also adds configurable file history length to the other gerber
files (zip, drill and job).

Paths based on DEFAULT_INSTALL_PATH do not work on Windows,
as in fact there is no default install path, as in case of Unix-based
systems. In such case, the initial paths point to mingw subdirectories
that normally do not exist on user machines.
The patch changes the initial path values to make them relative to
the executable and follow the current Windows installer scheme.

Remove KICAD_PTEMPLATE environment variable as it's purpose was not
clear and was often poorly defined as the path to the KiCad installed
templates.
Add a new KICAD_TEMPLATE_DIR environment variable which clearly should
be the path of the KiCad installed templates. Make this environment
variable available in the user settings in case the default is wrong
which has been the case in some instances. Use the standard search
stack to set the default system template path which has a much greater
chance of being correct.
Add a new KICAD_USER_TEMPLATE_DIR environment variable which clearly
should be the path of the user defined templates. Users most likely
were not even aware of the old default user path unless they read the
fine manual.
Set template path search stack priority as follows:
* KICAD_USER_TEMPLATE_DIR
* KICAD_TEMPLATE_DIR
* Search stack template paths
Reverse template selection dialog and project path dialog for improved
user experience.
