- New GAL draw layers for GerbView
- Improved bounding boxes for Gerber shapes
- Switched to use of SHAPE_POLY_SET for polygons
- Add GAL methods to support selection and rendering
- Add GUI support of editing GAL options
- Rename get/setActiveLayer to Get/SetActiveLayer to match convention
- support for background color setting
- removed several global config settings (such as g_Drc_On)
- wrapped most of global config settings in PCB_GENERAL_SETTINGS class
- reorganized PCB general options dialog to clearly mark which options concern only the legacy canvas
- new GAL feature for legacy users: double-click (or E) to change track width available as an option.

eeschema now supports arbitrary colors for all object types, and
pcbnew does in GAL canvas. When switching from GAL to legacy canvas,
pcbnew will convert colors to the nearest legacy color.
Pcbnew already uses this attribute when creating Gerber files.
Because Gerber files using this attribute identify the board layers stackup, Gerbview (if this attribute is defined) can sort gerber images stach up like the board.
(in layer manager, just right click to access to the sort menu)
Should allow Pcbnew code easier to change and Gerbview code more understandable and easier to maintain.
Code cleaning (remove dead code, add comments).
Minor other enhancements.
