In .gbrjob file, one can specify the thickness and color of some layers.
Currently, there is no way to enter these parameters.
This commit prepare a better support of .gbrjob files.
Prevent the symbol and footprint library table editors from substituting
the current project path (${KIPRJMOD}) when adding libraries to the global
library table. This will almost assuredly fail when opening a different
project. We still allow users to manually use ${KIPRJMOD} in global table
paths under the assumption that if they are typing this in then they most
likely understand environment variable substitution.

Significant improvement in fetch time for item clearances. On large
boards with lots of nets, maybe 10% faster zone fills and about
2x speedup on track-to-track DRC.
It's too complicated trying to keep everything smaller or larger by
half the pen width, and some things like spoke-end-detection need the
actual outline anyway.
While wxWidgets has Navigate() and NavigateIn(), they're not compiled
on GTK because it supposedly has native TAB control. Of course its
native TAB control won't get you out of a grid, so that leaves us in
a bit of a pinch. This implements a poor-man's Navigate() which will
at least get us out of the grid.

It was calculating the bounding box twice (and failing to honour
the accuracy parameter on the bounding box test).
Worse, constructing the bounding box is about the same speed as
the rigorous test, so it never improves things.
The thermal spokes are anchored at the pad anchor. They may or may
not make sense, depending on the pad shape. It's up to the author
to move the anchor around as necessary or to not use thermals.
This assumes maximum registration errors are a vector, rather than
an amount in both x and y axes. Lots more disucssion in the bug
report and on the forum (link in the bug report).
Also makes large changes to the painting of pads, but they now use
the same code as plotting, so if there are any changes then they
were errors before since plotting represents "truth".

Oblong holes (slots) use now a aperture attribute similar to round holes.
(The previous attribute "slot" is now deprecated)
However they have a specific aperture, and a comment is added in drill files for these apertures.
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.

EEschema optimizes wires by merging colinear segments. If a schematic opened without a valid
cache library or missing installed libraries and later saved, this optimization can cause connectivity
errors. In order to fix that we check each pin-wire connection and junctions if necessary.
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.

The QA objects link to the direct kiface objects, which creates a second
dependency on the generated lexer files. To ensure that the primary
apps are finished building them in a (potentially) different thread, we
set a false dependency on the final build product in the qa CMake.

Netlists do not accept any char in netnames (especially spice).
They must use only "/" as root sheet path name.
Especially _( "<root sheet>" ) breaks netlists because:
- there is a space in name, and special chars (< and >)
- it is a translatable name. so the actual name cannot be managed.
- most of netlist code in Kicad expects a "/" as root path.
