Define empty string variable KICAD_BRANCH_NAME that can be used as an
optional version string element. When git is used to build the version
string, this variable is set to the git branch name. It can also be
defined at configuration time as an optional string appended to the
$KICAD_VERSION variable.
Define empty string variable KICAD_VERSION_EXTRA that can be set by
the user at configuration.
The variables KICAD_BRANCH_NAME and KICAD_VERSION_EXTRA are only
appended to KICAD_VERSION if they are set. Otherwise, only KICAD_VERSION
is uses as the version string.
Update the developer building from source document to reflect the changes.
* Fix missing link to MinGW website.
* Add link to library dependency section in introduction.
* Add "Known Issues" section to document known build issues.
* Change command blocks from using ``` to delineate block and use indentation
instead. The ``` method seems to be broken on Doxygen 1.8.9.1 used by the
autobuilder. It also removes the line numbering which did not make sense
for commands that spanned multiple lines.
* Add compiling.md with most of the important information from the plain
text versions of platform specific compiling files.
* Remove the old plain text compiling files and folder.
