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.
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.

List of hidden nets stored in project local settings
Hide/Show actions in context menu only for now, will
add them to some more GUI places soon.

LoadProjectSettings changed to take place after the board
has been loaded so that board-specific project settings can
be applied (such as net visibility and color overrides)
Remove extraneous use of FLAG0 from tracks cleaner (it was checked but
never set).
Fix issue in expand connections where two parts of it couldn't agree
on the same flag (BUSY vs SKIP_STRUCT), and where the second part was
clearing the flag instead of setting it.
Remove obsolete HIGHLIGHT infrastructure (we now use selection).
Remove extraneous use of BUSY flag in several places (it was never
set).
There were a lot of plotters, exporters, etc. that were rolling their
own implementations.
This also introduces a lazily-built set of SHAPE objects for doing
collision detection and some forms of rendering (and later DRC).
instead of convert shapes to polygons.
For small pad sizes (< 0.5mm) the polygonal shape is really ugly.
Moreover, circles and oblong shapes are native in gal and give a much better look.
It's currently only supported in the Footprint Editor. It could be
easily added to the board editor (all the code is there), but the board
editor is a little short on room in the drawing tools toolbar.
Note: this is a basic implementation but it could be
improved once we include bus information in the netlist
and pcbnew can natively keep track of buses and nets
instead of just nets.

LAYER_VIAS needs to get set for them to print at all, and GetLOD
needs too look at the view layer visibiilties, not the board layer
visibilities.
Also implements a more pad-like strategy for printing blind/buried
vias when printing one layer per page (where the top/bottom arcs
don't make sense).

the parameter margin percent was badly handled for rectangular/oval pads,
giving an incorrect solder paste shape for non 0.0 values
now it is is correctly handled.
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.
In high contrast mode, the holes of buried vias and microvias were no darkened when not on the active layer.
In high contrast mode, the outer circle of buried vias and microvias were alway darkened.
In high contrast mode, when the selected layer is non visible through-vias are now darkend.
