Graph rendering takes a lot of time, especially when there is a high number
of points to be drawn. The initial implementation drew all points/lines
even if the the coordinates were duplicates, in the new version duplicated
coordinates are skipped.

There are lot of places where constants are used in the KiCad UI
as "magic numbers". The most common one is "5", used in many
wxFormBuilder and manual UI constructions as the margin.
This commit provides a place for all UI to look up shared
constants and other functions, to help create a consistent UI using
functions that provide meaning and intent to these magic numbers.
This is in preparation for making this widget optionally read-only.
Major changes:
* Construct panel in code, not with wxFormBuilder. This make's it
easier to conditionally construct elements that won't be used
in a read-only mode (e.g. the buttons).
* Use a generic "button row panel" widget for the buttons, as the
sizing and layout logic is reusable in nearly all dialogs, and
it's simplifies layout in the higher-level dialog widget. This
widget is one example of many possible "reuable widgets".
This version makes use of lots of things learned going down the
other rat hole. Avoiding the wxComboFocusHandler is key, as well
as specifying using the AltPopupWindow.
The key handler is still tricky with respect to those platforms
that use native controls, but the starting-key strategy is similar
to the one used with wxGrid text editors.
This is caused by:
* Not checking the hotkey data is not null when performing a
hotkey action
* Allowing hotkey actions on non-hotkey rows.
This fixes both of these, and adds an assert to warn if someone
does manage to fire a hotkey action on a non-hotkey row (but it
won't crash).

It was possible to get conflicting hotkeys when undoing and resetting hotkeys
to defaults.
This uses the same logic as when setting hotkeys to avoid conflcits in these
other two cases.
Fixes: lp:1794730
* https://bugs.launchpad.net/kicad/+bug/1794730
This separates the "ground truth" store of hotkeys from what is shown
in the dialog. This will allow us to filter the displayed hotkeys
while keeping the same underlying data structures.
Now, the UI data items interact with an intermediate set of data, which
represents the "original" hotkey data, and the "changed" data. The
ultimate aim here is to allow UI elements to come and go, but the
hotkeys that are "in-edit" are preserved.
This also allows us to abstract some bookkeeping complexity
out of the WIDGET_HOTKEY_LIST class into a separate non-GUI
class.
GTK uses a level of cooperative multitasking when dealing with
secondary event loops. This gives the wm enough leeway to process the
redraw before returning to the secondary loop
Also fixes a bug where nets wouldn't get changed because the
pads weren't changed and so the pad nets would propagate and
wipe out the changed nets on the tracks.
Also includes warning dialogs that pad nets will be changed if the
track nets are.

Be more intelligent about sorting lib tree items. (Footprint
entries, for instance, come out of an already-sorted list.)
Don't recreate menus twice when laoding Footprint Editor.
More pervasive use of WX_FILENAME to avoid expensive calls to
wxFileName::SplitPath() and string concatenation.
For POSIX kernels do all the work on the file-system side so we
don't have to keep converting back and forth between encodings.
Drop all uses of wxRAISED_BORDER and wxSUNKEN_BORDER from dialogs and
panels used in main frame windows.
Drop use of wxSP_3DSASH options on all wxSplitterWindow definitions.
Minor dialog alignment and spacing fixes.
Don't beep when inserting character from focused grid cell (but
before editor is opened).
Handle reference validation separately from name validation and
separately from user field value validation. The old way of setting
the fieldId on the validator wasn't working because the validator
gets copied.
Run validation when leaving cell. Don't just check for empty
(particularly for fields that CAN be empty).

(cherry picked from commit 79e04de)
Work around wxWidgets failure to send first key through validator.
Unify treatment of INDETERMINATE values (such as for multiple
selections with mixed values).
(cherry picked from commit 7308729)
The general idea is to support user-units inheritance. The
UNIT_BINDER allows wrapped controls to inherit units from their
parent dialog, while KEYWAY_HOLDER and DIALOG_SHIM allow child
KEYWAY_HOLDERs or DIALOG_SHIMs to inherit units from their
parent.
The GetUserUnits() method signature has to move to KEYWAY_HOLDER
rather than KEYWAY_PLAYER (where it makes more sense) as it’s the
only common ancestor of KEYWAY_PLAYER and DIALOG_SHIM.
As long as we'll be using the UNIT_BINDER more widely, it also
makes sense to move evaluation and validation into it.
This commit also provides eeschema’s DIALOG_LABEL_EDITOR and
pcbnew’s DIALOG_TRACK_VIA_PROPERTIES and DIALOG_SET_GRID as
models of how to use the new user-units inheritance, eval, and
validation.

There are three related changes here to harden our handling of threads
in the footprint async loader.
1) Footprint async loader explicitly aborts any remaining loader threads
on exit.
2) We protect the thread join by a mutex
3) We do not pause during no-wait routines
Also removes parallel implementation in favour of using the
normal one (with a new wxGauge-backed PROGRESS_REPORTER).

Also update the rest of the symbol-chooser usage to current
specs, including examining the timestamp to see if the list
needs loading at all.
Partial fix to: lp:1760936
* https://bugs.launchpad.net/kicad/+bug/1760936
While we already cache the loaded footprint files, parsing said files
into the list is also time-intensive. Since the FOOTPRINT_LIST is
already hash-stamped against the current timestamps of the files that
make up the list, sharing a single copy of the list is quite
straight-forward.
Normal SetValue() call would temporarily change the displayed
value, but as soon as the text widget receives focus again, the original
expression (not evaluated) is restored.
To avoid this, the original expression is cleared in the associated
NumericEvaluator object.
Also adds indicators in layers palette for feedback.
Also generates sized images for all indicators instead of using
scaled bitmaps (which didn't look great).
Also fixes a completely unrelated typo in a UI string.
Includes some dialog changes to go with the menu update.
Includes promoting the Pcbnew graphics mode back to main menu.
Includes renaming Graphics modes to Toolsets.
Move sketch mode stuff from Display Settings to View menu.
Move Icons in Menus from View menu to General Preferences.
Move Icon Scaling from Display Settings to General Preferences.
Regroup some items in both dialogs for better comprehension.
This is meant as a stopgap for 5.0, with plans to add proper scaled
icons in the 6.0 cycle. A function KiScaledBitmap() is added, which
works like KiBitmap() except it scales the bitmap according to the
calling window's font size. Controls have been added to all the main
applications to let the user select scaling manually (these were omitted
from smaller apps that didn't already have a place to put them).
In addition, in eeschema only, the pixel height of the system font is
shown in the options dialog for diagnostics. This is only for collecting
feedback before 5.0 release from users with different displays and will
be removed.
