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.

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

BuildConnectivity updates the ratsnest after it completes. By compiling
the ratsnest before connectivity, we update it twice with the dirty flag
being reset after connectivity updates.
Keeping a pointer to the actual file history inside a special
file history menu led to many cases of use after free crashes,
so instead rework the actual file history to add the menu
items.

Create an IsContentModified() function in each frame
that provides if the content has been modified, and
use that instead of always copying the checks.
Grid and ratsnest visibility are stored in the board file and should not
be changed without the user explicitly modifying them.
In the future, we'll move these settings out of the board file but we
shouldn't cause extra file-churn for flipped bits.

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

This allows us to make the various netlist and pcb update routines
more atomic and less reliant on carefully sequenced asynchronous
messages.
This is also a prelude to adding support for footprint testing
without a netlist.
For legacy boards, the setting is picked up from the board outline
thickness. If the board outline has mixed thicknesses, then the
max is used and a warning is displayed.

Autosave was not working correctly, partly due to different
implementations in eeschema and pcbnew and partly due to a mistaken
refactor at some point during v5 development. This unifies the expected
autosave prefix to _autosave- for both pcbnew and eeschema. It also
unifies the expected suffix for the backup files to -bak.

The standard DIM() macro was not typesafe as it happily deferred errors
to runtime that can be caught at compile time. Replacing it with a
generic C++11 constexpr allows for typecasting, comparison and compile
time error checking.
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.
The lock file code would reset the lock file every other time the same
board file was opened in Pcbnew in the stand alone mode. This created
the perfect toggle switch causing the board to be reloaded every other
time the same board was selected.
Please note that wxSingleInstanceChecker is broken on Linux and most
likely MacOS as well due to a bug in wxWidgets. On these platforms,
the already opened file is reopened rather than displaying a warning
that the file is already opened.

This also fixes a bunch of bugs where an error during save would
still close the window (rather than cancelling the close action).
