CHANGED: When the output path is set in the plotter dialog, the user is
asked if they want to make the path relative to the project. The old
code would ask the user if they wanted to do this, and then if it
failed would present an error dialog. The new code tries it first on
a copy, and only if it works does the user get asked if they want
to do it.

Added the wxExpand flag to all wxStatic Text widgets to prevent
text from being wrapped awkwardly under Linux (and possibly other
operating systems).
Made sure all sentences ended with a period.
Corrected some spelling mistakes.
Simplified tooltips to read and display better.

~Also in this commit:
~Rephrased main warning note at top to emphasize get clearance
~settings from your board house.
~Moved two notes at top into tooltips for entry fields
~Removed note that solder mask and paste only apply to copper pads.
This introduces layer handling to a lot of the geometry routines.
Many of them don't do much with it now, but it does help multi-layer
zones and will help when padstacks are implemented.
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.
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.

ADDED: Progress indicator in the taskbar
This adds a progress indicator to the Windows and macOS taskbar
icons to display the progress of some operations.
Note, this requires wxWidgets 3.1+
When importing settings from a board with more copper layers and applying it
to a board with less copper layers, if the user has ticked the checkbox
"Layer settings", then KiCad will delete the inner copper layers. Only
when the user clicks OK does it then warn that it found deleted items on inner
layers. The message is too generic and comes after the layers have already
been deleted.
This Merge Request tries to address this by warning them early. The changes are:
1 - Added code to check if user is trying to import settings from a
board with less copper layers than the current loaded board. This
results in KiCad deleting inner copper layers. Now it presents a
warning dialog that explains the current settings will result in deleted
inner layers, and lets the user stop the import process before making any changes.
2 - Made "Import Settings" dialog disable "Import Settings" button
until at least one import option checkbox is checked.
3 - Made "Select All" button on "Import Settings" dialog toggle
between "Select All" and "Deselect All" on each click.
Items 2&3 were added to improve the overall import settings usability
experience.
