- 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.

Independent drawing functions (that don't expect any particular state to
be set up fo them) on the GAL need to reset the GAL properties they
use. This adds GAL::ResetTextAttributes() to make this easier.
This is important, as failing to reset mirroring can cause asserts in
OpenGL.
This is used in the Ruler tool (which previously did it one attribute at
a time) and also the Arc layout assistant, which previously failed to
reset mirroring.
Also reset on GAL construction, as these members appear to be
uninitialised.
The motivation here is to concentrate display options in the GAL display
settings, ready for removal of legacy canvases. Instead of having the
property as a member of the DRAW_FRAME, with the GAL canvas retreiving
it from there, it is now in the GAL_DISPLAY_OPTIONS struct, and both GAL
and legacy get it from there.
The options for setting cursor shape are then moved out of the general
options dialog, and into the GAL display options widget, where they can
be used in all GAL-aware programs.
GAL cursor shape works on GAL, but not legacy, so the option is now
available on OSX (but only affects GAL, and is labelled as such).
This makes it clearer when a tool is active, otherwise interactive tool
effects like auto-pan can come as a surprise when the cursor is forced
to display all the time.
A new items is added to the GAL display options (and the dialog), and a
hotkey (Ctrl+Shift+x) is added to toggle it.

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.
When reading config options from files, it's important to make sure the
value makes sense - the incoming data could be anything, and may have
incompatible values or be otherwise unreliable.
This introduces a simple way to define and use "mapping tables" which
can map between a "native" value, probably an enum (but not necessarily)
and some external value, for example the value written to file.
This provides a decoupling between the two values, as well as sanitising
inputs and outputs. This is important, as over time, if there isn't a
decoupled interface, changing options result in corrupt configs, or a
proliferation of obsolete enum values kept for compatibility.
GAL_DISPLAY_OPTIONS_OBSERVER aren't deleted by a base class pointer -
they are an "incidental" part of other classes. Add a virtual protected
destructor to make this explicit.
This allows the user to set a thicker grid line without causing the
grid lines to become over dense, or just make the grid denser according
to preference.
The term "density" is modified to "minimum grid spacing", which is
the pixel spacing between adjacent grid lines.
The spacing settings now comes in along, with other GAL display settings,
as part of GAL_DISPLAY_OPTIONS observer functionality. To this end, the
setter in GAL interface is removed, as an external user should be
setting this parameter via the GAL_DISPLAY_OPTIONS interface.
This adds a user-settable control for the grid line thickness on GAL
canvases to the display options dialog.

settings, as part of GAL_DISPLAY_OPTIONS observer functionality. To this

This puts the graphical/display options with the other similar options
in that dialog, rather than with the dimension options found in the Set
Grid dialog, which is in the Dimensions menu.
Also place the option itself in the GAL Display Options structure, so it
can be updated using the observer mechanism there.
The setter for the style in the GAL interface is removed, as the public
interface for setting this option is now to modify the
GAL_DISPLAY_OPTIONS structure and notify the GAL when done.
Some faults could result in a crash, as they were not properly
handled. Now the rendering loop is wrapped with try..catch block
which will revert to Cairo in case of an error and display an
error message.

* remove duplicate code between draw functions and STROKE_FONT used in GAL. Use only STROKE_FONT methods in draw, plot and test DRC function for texts. It remove slightly different shapes between GAL and other calculations.
* fix incorrect bounding box for texts with overbar. Especially noticeable for texts with overbar inside a copper zone in Pcbnew.
* fix a few minor other bugs related to graphic texts.
I tried to merge some constants used both in legacy mode and gal mode (which were, before this patch, separate constants).
There is still a serious work to avoid different calculation code for the same text in draw and plot functions.
Work in progress to merge these calculation functions.
- CACHED_CONTAINER::GetVertices: removed useless and unused function
which does nothing but tainted the API
- SHAPE_LINE_CHAIN::Collide( const BOX2I& aBox, int aClearance ):
removed an outdated function with assert(false)
- SHAPE::BBox(): fix a small typo in the doc string
