Previously, the dialog was created only once, with the current board setup and the current units selection.
Therefore, after changes in board or units, the dialog was really broken.
Now, the dialog is recreated when the plot command is run.
A perfect solution would create holes in the coverage map
for the zone edges and handles, but that's a lot more
work.

As of v5 footprint library reorganization (one repo per library concept
is replaced with a common repo for all libraries), the Footprint Library
Wizard may handle only the old libraries. It has been replaced with
a file browser to select only local files.

wxWidgets offers two dialog types: wxFileDialog and wxDirDialog, one
to select files, the other to select directories, but neither of them
handles both. DIALOG_FILE_DIR_PICKER fills that gap.
When starting async processes, we need to have a way to stop the process
before releasing memory. Descoping FOOTPRINT_ASYNC_LOADER while the
threads were still running could cause crashes depending on the memory
structure. To avoid this we define clear procedures for exiting a
running async processes and call these when exiting.

The SELECTION is a std::set. Numerical dereference of item n is O(n) as
the iterator is not random access. Therefore, a for loop using
numerical dereference is O(n!) and quickly slows.
We avoid this by storing items to remove separately while iterating and
then removing the items after we complete.

If you select a track with many segments (e.g. a length-tuned track) and
then select all connected items again ('U' -> 'U'), we would iterate
over all items in the selection and mark connections for each of the n
segments n separate times.
We avoid this by using the marked flag to show when the segment has
already been visited by the routine. This means that if the segment has
been checked for connections because it was connected to the previous
item, it won't be checked for connections again. However, a selection
that interleaves items from multiple connection segments will still
(potentially) be multiply checked as the BUSY flag is cleared each time
there is one not-BUSY track in the selection.
On large boards with high pad-count modules, searching each pad for hits
becomes expensive. We eliminate many of the pad searches by first
checking the module's bounding box before iterating over pads to look
for hits.
It can be useful to have similar class messages grouped together so that
error messages in a larger report don't get lost among the
warning/info/action messages.
This patch allows sorting of messages for dialogs that benefit from
organization. Default behavior of reporter messages remains
unchanged by this patch.

1) Commit in-progress edits before closing preferences.
2) Handle default fields in Symbol Fields Editor.
3) Save state of checkboxes in Symbol Fields Editor.
Freerouting-specialized menus are removed as FreeRouting is not
maintained or packaged for most OSes. Users can still import/export
SPECCTRA files in KiCad allowing them to interface with a custom
FreeRouting installation.
The graphical editor window for pcbnew and modedit have slight
differences, so different classes. But they should appear the same to
the user. This merges the differences into a dialog that looks the same
to the user.

Circles are defined by center and a point on their edge. This requires
the user to do extra math to figure out the size of the circle. The
patch allows the user to edit and draw circles using radial coordinates.
Remove KICAD_PTEMPLATE environment variable as it's purpose was not
clear and was often poorly defined as the path to the KiCad installed
templates.
Add a new KICAD_TEMPLATE_DIR environment variable which clearly should
be the path of the KiCad installed templates. Make this environment
variable available in the user settings in case the default is wrong
which has been the case in some instances. Use the standard search
stack to set the default system template path which has a much greater
chance of being correct.
Add a new KICAD_USER_TEMPLATE_DIR environment variable which clearly
should be the path of the user defined templates. Users most likely
were not even aware of the old default user path unless they read the
fine manual.
Set template path search stack priority as follows:
* KICAD_USER_TEMPLATE_DIR
* KICAD_TEMPLATE_DIR
* Search stack template paths
Reverse template selection dialog and project path dialog for improved
user experience.

1) hide the status popup when the dialog is brought up
2) forward events from the popup to the canvas so hotkeys work
3) make sure diff pair radius is always 100%
4) fix greyed-out Miter style label
5) make L a hotkey so it works before you start dragging

The original algorithm picked the value from the last component having
non empty value for a given field, but the processing order was
dependent on the layout of the components in the memory. It means that
for each component, the field values could have been taken from any
unit, randomly.
The patch improves the algorithm, trying to get all values from the unit
with the lowest number and resorts to other units only when there are
field values left empty.
