Where we can get away with lower segment counts (localizing an anchor),
we keep the low-def 16 segment count. Intermediate values and values
that are visible to the user are set to high definition. Most are
simply hints to the inflation correction but where they show, the user
show see smooth lines.
Most rounding operations have been shifted to an absolute error
calculation and the ability to adjust zone segment counts has been
removed in 5.1. The remaining elements that use fixed segment counts
are either 18 (DRC) or 32 (plotting). This aligns the punchout segment
count with the higher (32) definition value
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.

The hotkey name "Help (this window)" does not describe what the hotkey
and associated action does. It displays the current hotkey list, so the
action name should reflect that behavior
Moving pcbnew error strings that may be seen by the user to translated
strings. Strings that denote unexpected cases are moved to debug logs
as they are essentially asserts that should never be shown. The
exceptions are the messages shown when files are loaded. All unknown
items should show an error here.
Checks for ratsnest enabled prior to calculating and displaying the
local/dynamic ratsnest. Calls the ratsnest clear from selection clear
Notably, it appears that the tool actions do not chain transitions for
the same event. So only a single action (first specified) will be
executed when an event fires unless the actions are executed by separate
tools.

It avoid including these extensions in a translatable string, thus avoid breaking filter
if the translation is incorrect (It happens sometimes).
See wildcards_and_files_ext.cpp for use.
If a page layout contains bitmaps and is used in all sheets of a hierarchy, and in the board editor,
the cross-probing from pcbnew to eeschema invalidate textures associated to these shared bitmaps,
when switching active sheets.
Usually a crash happens after switching or when closing editors.
As a workaround, I disabled bitmaps (therefore associated textures) cache.
Not optimal, but at least it avoid crashes.
The wrong class is called for the ctor of the wxConfigBase - this should
be a wxFileConfig, just like the bare new used to be.

Fix highlight not cleared by Pcbnew.
Fix highlight not cleared by Cvpcb (missing code).

While name and path fields would make more sense, this commit
encodes the nickname as an "opts" field so that older versions will
still read the preferences file.
This make the use of legacy canvas on GTK3 a default-off
advanced config. Legacy is substantially broken on GTK3
and is of basically no use at all to general users on this
platform.
If the program starts with legacy canvas in the config,
it is forced into a GAL mode, as otherwise it could happen
that the user is stuck and unable to get into pcbnew to change
the setting.

This can be used for "advanced" options which are for developers
to use for feature-flags and other configuration. Run time config
has some advantages over preprocessor defines:
* Can be changed without recompilation
* Sensitive to XDG_CONFIG_DIR, so flipping configs is easy
* Better compiler coverage (less conditionally compiled code means
less chance to break a different configuration). Also better
analysis coverage.
* Type safe config params
* Centralised documentation: it's in doxygen, in one place
No advanced config should be required by a general users. If a general
user does use one of these configs, it's probably because:
* There is a bug and one of these configs is a workaround
* A config in here is generally useful and should be moved into the
relevant application config and given UI.
For now, the config is read-only, and is read from the
"kicad_advanced" config file in the normal config dir.
