Recommendation is to avoid using the year nomenclature as this
information is already encoded in the git repo. Avoids needing to
repeatly update.
Also updates AUTHORS.txt from current repo with contributor names
Various architecture upgrades to support this.

CHANGED: Board design settings are no longer stored in PCB file
CHANGED: Net classes are no longer stored in PCB file

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

Setfocus now works on macos dialogs by setting DLGSHIM_USE_SETFOCUS.

and/or file name so next return key press fires OK event.
* Use default dialog size to let the sizers set initial dialog size.
* Add spacer to improve layout when resizing dialog.
* Adds a "Grid Reference Point" to the VRML export; this allows a user to specify the (X,Y) coordinate which will be the origin point on the output
* Adds a "Grid Reference Point" to the IDF export; this is similar in purpose to the corresponding VRML export feature.
* Improve VRML export dialog lay out.
* Make the OK button the default action in the export dialog.
* Make 3D model export work correctly and avoid redundant file copies.
* Fix embedded path separators in wrl files on windows.
* Fix absolute model file path creation in wrl files.
