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
Fixes https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/-/issues/2578
Fixes https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/-/issues/4070
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.
Using a UTF8 char inside a C string can work on unix, but not on Windows.
It must be explicitly converted in a unicode value inside a wide string
(like a wxString)
* Move column width manipulation into the lib tree adapter
* Fix issue with GTK where if someone types too fast, the part
column gets 0 width.

When filtering, we update the width of the displayed column to ensure
the full text is visible to the user. Check is rough, based on line
width (doesn't completely account for differing char widths) but is
sufficient for the approximate difference

Be more intelligent about sorting lib tree items. (Footprint
entries, for instance, come out of an already-sorted list.)
Don't recreate menus twice when laoding Footprint Editor.
More pervasive use of WX_FILENAME to avoid expensive calls to
wxFileName::SplitPath() and string concatenation.
For POSIX kernels do all the work on the file-system side so we
don't have to keep converting back and forth between encodings.
