They don't define a KiCad string class, so the header file name was
somewhat misleading. But the fact that they didn't match definitely
made coding more difficult.
Various architecture upgrades to support this.
Creating a BOARD now requires a valid PROJECT, which caused
some (mostly transparent) changes to the Python API internals.
ADDED: Project local settings file
CHANGED: Board design settings are no longer stored in PCB file
CHANGED: Net classes are no longer stored in PCB file
CHANGED: Importing board settings now reads boards, not just projects

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.

(cherry picked from commit d8fff5c820)
Added checks to StrCmpNum() function in common/sting.cpp to prevent
iterating past the end of the sting. Also removed length of string
parameter since it did not seem to be used anywhere.

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.
