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.
Fixes https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/-/issues/2012
CHANGED: Cvpcb fpviewer and the pcbnew fpviewer no longer have an options dialog
ADDED: Add a side toolbar to the pcbnew footprint viewer (and the measure tool)
This also cleans up some of the settings structs in the viewers, since
it was somewhat confusing before.

This was always possible from modal browsers and from the footprint
editor, but it's now also possible from non-modal browsers and the
symbol editor.

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

Factor out save current canvas view to image file code from symbol editor
code so it can be used anywhere.
Add ability to save to any image format supported by wxBitmapType. See
https://docs.wxwidgets.org/3.0/gdicmn_8h.html#a90a1eb6d85b5044a99b706fd979f27f5.
Currently only PNG output is implemented.
Please note that there is a minor bug that appears to be due to the
scroll bars which causes unfilled areas on the right and bottom edges
of the image. This always existed in the save symbol editor view
image but it was not as noticeable because by default the background
color is white. It is very noticeable in the footprint editor with
a black background.
The usual smattering of coding policy and comment fixes.

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.

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.
Also adds indicators in layers palette for feedback.
Also generates sized images for all indicators instead of using
scaled bitmaps (which didn't look great).
Also fixes a completely unrelated typo in a UI string.
