Reduce each (Accel & Fallback) to 3 options: Off, Fast, Good. Fast AA
in accelerated canvas uses SMAA with tweaks suggested by David Beinder.
Good AA is super-sampled x2.
Cairo is similarly reduced to Off, Fast, Good, which map to the Cairo
options themselves. Best is removed as it mostly affects text rendering
and not line drawing (as our text is)
Moves the OpenGL AA options to the same Fast/Balanced/HQ options as used
in Fallback. Fast and Balanced are the SMAA options, with decreasing
threshholds and more processing in the balanced version. HQ is
supersampling x2. This takes more memory and may not work for HiDPI
screens with underpowered graphics cards. But it looks the best of the
three options.
The SSx4 option is removed as it added little benefit in either regular
or HiDPI screens

This was leaking windows headers and partial wx headers to 1084 compilation units......
This also means math/util.h is leaking to 1084 compilation units which seems a bit high too.
CHANGED: Environment variables defined outside of KiCad will no longer
be saved in the settings file. Paths can be configured via
the Configure Paths dialog and those changes will be saved in
the settings file if the new path is different from the default
and the path variable was not defined in the system environment.
We don't have a migration handler that can resolve conflicts
and tell the difference between hotkey changes that KiCad made
that we want users to adapt to, and hotkey changes made by the
user.
So, the least-bad option for 6.0 is to just not migrate old
hotkey config files.

Add a reset button that will only show up if the user
edits the JSON configuration for grids. This is a temporary
measure until we have a real grid editor GUI in V7.

New strategy isolates all draw/don't draw decisions to the ViewGetLOD
routines, and all dimmed/not dimmed to PCB_RENDER_SETTINGS::GetColor.
The actual drawing in PCB_PAINTER is more-or-less conditon free.
Also adds new layers for pad and via hole walls so that they can be
controlled for high-contrast mode.
Also changes the drawing paradigm so that the pads are drawn even when
not on the high contrast layer, just in low contrast. The hole wall
is drawn in high contrast. This actually makes things clearer to the
user (although to be honest was done to keep from having to re-render
pads when the high contrast layer changes since we have two separate
layers now that we can adjut colours on).

wxFile is dangerous, it's ::Write method is a direct map to the write syscall. It does not handle partial writes!
This must be handled in our code which we don't.
This will always show 1 unit from each system, with the primary unit
being the current frame unit and the secondary unit being the
most recent unit used from the other system. These are saved in
the settings, so they are saved between runs.
Using CopyFile() that can collide with a windows header create hard to
understand errors, including link errors.
Renaming this function avoids these strange errors.
These settings objects could be created in a constructor/destructor
so we should catch the exception since those are noexcept.
Also change the settings trace to match the other kicad traces
as KICAD_SETTINGS
This exception will probably never be thrown in real life,
but the constructors are normally noexcept, so throwing
any exception from the json library causes Coverity to
have a fit.
You can now enable and disable snap to grid when drawing/editing across
all apps. You can also tie snap to grid to the visibility of the grid
to allow rapid enable/disable via grid display.
Better fix than a0df876d
For new users, if this folder does not exist, saving colors does not work,
because if this folder does not exist, it is not created.
For now, much of KiCad depends on Prj() working, so when we
are asked to unload a project, immediately load the null project
so that nothing breaks.

Before this, the environment variables inside Python wouldn't reflect
the updates to them made after the interpreter was started in Pcbnew.
This will call into Python and set the variables when they are changed,
since Python can't synchronize itself when running in an embedded
interpreter.

KiCad stores 3D cache files but never gets rid of any of them.
This patch adds a new function called 'CleanCacheDir()'. Any cache
files older than the passed 'number of days' parameter are deleted.
Fixes https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/-/issues/1928
Store list of previously open projects only in kicad.json
Keep all management of open projects in SETTINGS_MANAGER
Also add kicadSettings() for convenience
The fix convert all std::string storing a path to wxString (unicode support)
wxString were already used at many place to store paths, but not all.
For internal calculations mixing char strings and wide char strings is a recipe
for bug: any missing conversion between UTF8 and wxString breaks paths.
