At one point, all of the footprints provided by the KiCad footprint
libraries were merged into a single pdf file. The link to open this
file was provided on the toolbar. Since the footprint libraries have
been split out into individual repositories, this file is no longer
created so the toolbar button and the underlying code to open this
file were removed.
Improve a few CvPcb menu strings.

The unfortunate combination of using static_cast to promote board items
to module items then using the assignment operator without any thought as
to what would happen in MODULE::Add() caused the board objects to not be
added to the module. This is expected because board items cannot be in
modules. Did this ever work or did someone have a colossal brain cramp?
If it did work, who ever changed it did not test it because in debug
builds, you would have gotten and assertion on every object imported. On
release builds nothing is imported silently.
Add module object types to the DXF importer and code to choose which type
of object to import.
Remove offending static casts and assignment operator and pass the correct
object directly to the MODULE::Add() function when importing DXF in the
footprint editor.
The usual coding policy fixes.
On windows when the project path include a remote volume name (\\NAME),
the volume name does not get cleared by calling wxFileName.SetDir( "" ).
This caused the volume name to be prepended to the file name when
calling wxFileName::GetFullPath(). Use wxFileName::GetFullName()
which resolves the issue.

Performing a delete node hot key operation while Eeschema is busy performing
another operation causes an assertion in the delete node command event
handler in debug builds. It also causes the operation in progress to be
cleared if the assertion is ignored or in release builds.
Fix a similar issue when the leave current sheet hot key is called while
busing performing another operation which causes rather interesting behavior
in the sheet that was exited.

* When Pcbnew is launched in the stand alone mode with no board file command
line option, the project path is set to the current working directory. The
user may not have write access to the current working directory which would
cause the auto save to generate an error. If the user does not have write
access to the current working directory, set the path to a platform specific
temporary path that the user has write permission.
* When Pcbnew is launched in the stand alone mode with no board file command
line option, the default BOARD object has no file name. Set the file name
to "noname.kicad_pcb" to fix incorrect auto save file name and set the path
to the user's platform specific document folder.
* Delete orphaned auto save files when closing without saving due to broken
auto save file generation logic which prepended the file name with "$" rather
than "_autosave-".
* Fixes: lp:1596382
* Prevent DRC file from being created regardless the option selected in the check box.
* The browse file dialog now open the current project folder by default.
* When a context menu was open and a left mouse click event in the window title
bar occurred, the window would shift from the title bar click position to the
context menu select position. This only seemed to effect windows.
* Enables USE_WX_GRAPHICS_CONTEXT for OSX by default. This shouldn't be a
major change because it seems to get used on OSX behind the scenes anyway.
As a side effect, this might improve behavior with anti-aliasing because
KiCad shifts drawing by (0.5, 0.5) into the middle of the virtual pixels so
things may be less blurry. It will still build without enabling
USE_WX_GRAPHICS_CONTEXT, but the optimizations obviously won¡¯t be used.
* The optimizations currently only are effective when USE_WX_GRAPHICS_CONTEXT
is enabled and OSX. They might be also good for other platforms using
USE_WX_GRAPHICS_CONTEXT because it aggregates some drawing primitives using
paths wxGraphicsContext provides.
* It adds some #ifdefs for disabling the wxGraphicsContext stuff when
USE_WX_GRAPHICS_CONTEXT isn't enabled. If you hate #ifdefs, this also
could be dropped but then it will always check if wxGraphicsContext can be
applied.
* CPolyLine::Chamfer (and CPolyLine::Fillet) : removes null segments before calculating modified outlines.
It fixes some incorrect outlines after chamfer or fillet due to null segments creating overflow during calculations.
* CPolyLine::Chamfer : code cleaning (avoid useless double to integer and integer to double conversions).
* Deleting the wxFileSystemWatcher when switching from a remote project to
a local project caused KiCad to segfault. Switching from a local project
to a remote project did not cause KiCad to crash. The fix was to clear all
of the file system watcher paths instead of deleting and creating a new file
system watcher object between project changes. The object still crashes on
exit when deleted in the main window dtor. Allocating the file system
watcher object on the stack instead of on the heap did not make any difference.
