It is still possible to move a pad independent of footprint through
the pad properties dialog. This is a much more conscious decision
than using the move tools.
ADDED: "Allow free pads" preference setting in pcbnew, default to off.
When enabled, allows moving unlocked pads independent of the footprint
(i.e. previous behaviour). When disabled (default), any attempt to move
a pad will move the parent footprint instead.
REMOVED: "Lock pads of newly added footprints" preference setting in
pcbnew. (Pad lock state is now loaded from the footprint definition)
CHANGED: There are now only two possible lock states for a footprint:
locked and unlocked. The lock state of the pads in the footprint is
now independent of the footprint lock state.
Also fixed a latent bug that would allow a pad to be moved when the
parent footprint was locked (see m_selectionTool->RequestSelection
lambdas in edit_tool.cpp)

After commit 9535153f9e there were no more IDs inside the legacy ID
system. Therefore the entire system for dispatching and looking up
the legacy ideas and handling those events can now be removed and
the tool dispatcher simplified (it no longer needs to know about
the ACTIONS class).
Bitmaps are now identified by an enum class instead of by pointers.
Bitmap loading and caching is now handled by a class in common, and
we no longer compile most bitmaps into the binary, so there is no
longer a bitmaps static library.
Instead, bitmaps are archived to a .tar.gz file which is installed
in ${KICAD_DATA}/resources/images.tar.gz
The source PNGs are checked in to Git as the original CPP files were,
so that people can build without the required dependencies to convert
SVGs to PNGs.
Initial support is also added for dark theme icons, although this
is not yet exposed in the GUI.
Stubs are present for multi-resolution image resources, but this is
not fully-baked yet and could use some refinement.
We don't actually allow the user to change this at present, so one
could argue that we should remove it from what is saved out of the
config. But this is a smaller, safer change.

Also fixes some latent bugs with not updating the local ratsnest
visibility in other places, and the netcode in update PCB from schematic.

This will always show 1 unit from each system, with the primary unit
being the current frame unit and the secondary unit being the
most recent unit used from the other system. These are saved in
the settings, so they are saved between runs.
CHANGED: Cvpcb fpviewer and the pcbnew fpviewer no longer have an options dialog
ADDED: Add a side toolbar to the pcbnew footprint viewer (and the measure tool)
This also cleans up some of the settings structs in the viewers, since
it was somewhat confusing before.

* Consolidate the measure tool into one tool (this gives cvpcb
unit changing and snapping capabilities in its measure tool)
* Transition cvpcb to use actions for the sketch modes
* Replumb how magnetic items settings are stored and used
Migrate COLOR_SETTINGS 0->1 to remove fpedit section
Migrate FOOTPRINT_EDITOR_SETTINGS 0->1 to use new theme if created
Remove COLOR_CONTEXT that is no longer needed
Once the gal canvas hsad the focus, it was not possible to use arrow keys in library
or symbols or fp lists even after clicking on an item.
This focus issue is now fixed.
Fixes#4292https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/issues/4292
* Push all sizing operations into EDA_BASE_FRAME
* Save the unmaximized window size when maximizing
so that we can then save it in the config if the
window is maximized. Otherwise the config ends up
with the maximized size saved, and weird behavior
occurs when unmaximizing on the next opening.
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.
The pointer passing for display options is deprecated. This removes the
excess casting as the EDA_FRAME didn't need the base call with no value.
All requests for display options are now returned const and are updated
with a Set() routine after modification.
In Gerbview, this resolves an issue where the display options were not
stored because it was receiving the NULL from EDA_FRAME.
When we refresh a scrolled window to get the GTK scrollbars updated, we
can capture the mouse, making key-only scrolling difficult when we want
the window not focused. This resets the active focus after refresh.

In singletop mode, all frames show the "Quit" option in the file menu
and will quit on Ctrl-Q. When launched from the main KiCad interface,
sub-programs show the "Close" option instead and will close with Ctrl-W.
In this mode, Ctrl-Q will instruct the main program to exit.

Footprint library nicknames are case sensitive but the comparison for
the library tree control was case insensitive.
Also make the footprint name comparisons case sensitive as well. While
not strictly necessary, the plan is to start using the name defined in
the footprint file instead of the file name which will allow for case
sensitivity.

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.

Move repeated GAL config reading routines into GAL_DISPLAY_OPTIONS.
THe app-level config is in here already, do the same for the
common config.
This means that the configs are loaded consistently, which fixes
the symbol-chooser preview window, which previously didn't use the
same config routine as other GAL canvases.
Future work could move these functions to free functions that
act on the public interface of GAL_DISPLAY_OPTIONS to avoid
GAL_DISPLAY_OPTIONS having to know about wxConfig and wxWindow.
