Two main changes: netclass values need to go through the DRC engine
so they can interact with other rules. They're also now dependent
on the layer being routed as well as the start object.
Also make the controls adjust to each other better. For instance,
copy-track-width needs to turn off when you select a particular
track width, and a particular track width needs to zero out when
you choose copy-track-width.

Also simplifies groups so that other areas of code that have to know
about them at least don't have to know as much. One of the simplifications
is to not worry so much about empty groups until save time; others are in
the access logic to parent groups.
Also simplifies user model slightly by removing Merge and Flatten
(which are just ungroup/group and ungroup/ungroup/.../group).
Also allows multiple groups to have the same name. This is useful when
using groups for a classification system.

ADDED memberOf() function for DRC rule expressions.
Also fixes a bug in several of the pickers where the event wasn't
being correctly passed.

This may affect other EDA_DRAW_FRAME objects as well but it doesn't seem
to be as noticeable in the symbol, footprint, and worksheet editors.

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.

Per discussion on the developers list, this old system
no longer provides much value and is seen as annoying
by many users. The new save logic should prevent any
cases of file corruption on save, which was a major
reason for the backup file system existing.

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

* Consolidate the measure tool into one tool (this gives cvpcb
unit changing and snapping capabilities in its measure tool)
* Transition cvpcb to use actions for the sketch modes
* Replumb how magnetic items settings are stored and used
Keeping a pointer to the actual file history inside a special
file history menu led to many cases of use after free crashes,
so instead rework the actual file history to add the menu
items.
Fixes https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/issues/3741
CHANGED: Settings are now stored in versioned sub-directories
ADDED: First-run dialog for migrating settings from a previous version
CHANGED: Settings are now stored as JSON files instead of wxConfig-style INI files
CHANGED: Color settings are now all stored in a separate settings file
CHANGED: The symbol editor and footprint editor now have their own settings files
CHANGED: Color settings are no longer exposed through BOARD object
CHANGED: Page layout editor now uses Eeschema's color scheme
Settings are now managed through a central SETTINGS_MANAGER held by PGM_BASE.
Existing settings will be migrated from the wxConfig format on first run of each application.
Per-application settings are now stored in one class for each application.
This also removes vector cover types which do nothing except obfuscate
the underlying implementation.
Mainly changes SCH_SHEET_PINS and CONFIG_PARAM_ARRAY (which will soon
be replaced by Jon's new stuff).
Create an IsContentModified() function in each frame
that provides if the content has been modified, and
use that instead of always copying the checks.
* Make the grid display settings separate from the board object
* Ensure that the grid is initialized on creation in all the frames

Default out-of-the-box is no hotkey. Removed all the preference stuff.
Note that the new implementation is a little different: the old one only
operated on a selection with a single item where the new one operates on
all selected items. So if you want the whole track do a 'U' before the 'W'
(or whatever you have Change Track Width assigned to).

Make the data generation code separate from the dialog code.
The dialog itself does not include anymore the data generation code.
Non SMD footprints forced in list are now displayed in the dialog.
The attribute MOD_CMS is no longer silently modified (without undo command) by the dialog.
When exiting pcbnew, we only want to run the sections of ClearPcb that
remove the old pcb data. We do not want to queue events that handle
initializing a new pcb. These were caught after freeing memory in some
cases, leading to segfaults.

Give the user the option of cancelling a file open if there are
segment zones; otherwise they're converted to polygon fills.

This allows us to make the various netlist and pcb update routines
more atomic and less reliant on carefully sequenced asynchronous
messages.
This is also a prelude to adding support for footprint testing
without a netlist.
For legacy boards, the setting is picked up from the board outline
thickness. If the board outline has mixed thicknesses, then the
max is used and a warning is displayed.

Autosave was not working correctly, partly due to different
implementations in eeschema and pcbnew and partly due to a mistaken
refactor at some point during v5 development. This unifies the expected
autosave prefix to _autosave- for both pcbnew and eeschema. It also
unifies the expected suffix for the backup files to -bak.

When doing a global edit of the tracks and vias, we need to allow for
the possibility that the track size doesn't change and that this is
explicitly allowed without DRC error.
wxChoice centers the selection on GTK. So when switching from a
mid-list item to an item at the top, the list is always cut off for
choice lists located on the top toolbar. Using a combobox provides a
drop-down that allows easier access to all elements in the box.

Make sure the view is rebuilt before selecting the new footprints
so that they're shown only in the selection overlay.
Don't start the drag until the dialog is closed so we don't have
a bunch of extraneous mouse warping.
