Versions specific variables that may point to objects that change
through versions, allowing multiple KiCad versions to operate correctly
(even on MSW) on the same machine.
So the new steals-focus protection stuff works well when there's a
focused control, but not as well when there's a modal dialog up which
happens not to have a focused control (or worse, a focusable control).
This adds a second mechanism for also checking to see if a modal dialog
is up (something that wxWidgets, true to form, makes very difficult).

Before this, the environment variables inside Python wouldn't reflect
the updates to them made after the interpreter was started in Pcbnew.
This will call into Python and set the variables when they are changed,
since Python can't synchronize itself when running in an embedded
interpreter.

Previously it would just not open any project at all. This
was a problem for some launchers, which would pass an empty string
when no file is passed by the user.

Store list of previously open projects only in kicad.json
Keep all management of open projects in SETTINGS_MANAGER
Also add kicadSettings() for convenience
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.
Wayland is not yet compatible with wxWidgets (or rather the other way
around). Until this happens, we must force the x11 compositor while
running. Under wayland, this will map to the wayland-x11 compatibility
layer.

GTK3 provides for additional input devices via xinput2. These include
touchscreens and continuous scroll devices. But wxWidgets does not have
specialized handlers for these events, so they double up for some
devices. Until wxWidgets allows us to handle these events, we specify
that the input handler should be the old-style GDK_CORE.
GTK3 does a fade in/fade out routine for scrollbars by default. This
was problematic as it caused a cascade of full-screen repaint events on
each mouse event. Instead of disabling scrollbars (which only helped
the full canvas), we force the old scrollbar behavior is environmental
variables.
Revert "gtk3: Remove scrollbars"
This reverts commit db43bd82a773dae83d44f6bf2ad3726882015a92.
Remove KICAD_PTEMPLATE environment variable as it's purpose was not
clear and was often poorly defined as the path to the KiCad installed
templates.
Add a new KICAD_TEMPLATE_DIR environment variable which clearly should
be the path of the KiCad installed templates. Make this environment
variable available in the user settings in case the default is wrong
which has been the case in some instances. Use the standard search
stack to set the default system template path which has a much greater
chance of being correct.
Add a new KICAD_USER_TEMPLATE_DIR environment variable which clearly
should be the path of the user defined templates. Users most likely
were not even aware of the old default user path unless they read the
fine manual.
Set template path search stack priority as follows:
* KICAD_USER_TEMPLATE_DIR
* KICAD_TEMPLATE_DIR
* Search stack template paths
Reverse template selection dialog and project path dialog for improved
user experience.

Add tests to check for existing files before copying template files.
Split load project, create new project, create new project from template,
and load project from history command events into simple methods that
perform the correct actions before loading the project. This greatly
simplifies the code.
Create a load project method that can be called from the event handlers
above. This simplified a lot of duplicate code that existed in many of
these event handlers.
Remove the dummy "noname.pro" file creation which created required some
ugly code to prevent this file from being created unexpectedly. Now
KiCad launches without setting a project file name when appropriate.

This function is called only from three sites, it doesn't need to be in
common.h.
The implementation was already in systemdirsappend.cpp, so a matching
header was created for it.
This reduces the visibility of the function to only the files that need
it and slightly shrinks common.h.
This function has two conflicting definitions in the "kicad" executable and
the other wrapper programs. As the kifaces can be loaded from either, this
silently assumes compatible data layout for the PGM_KICAD and PGM_BASE
types when passed by reference, which is valid only when the compiler is
aware of the cast.
If the return type is encoded in the symbol name (such as when using the
MSVC compiler), this also causes an error during linking, as the symbol
names no longer match.
* Rename Eda_FileSelector to EDA_FILE_SELECTOR.
* Add optional pointer to wxString to save the most recently used path to EDA_FILE_SELECTOR.
* Rename Eda_DirectorySelector to EDA_PATH_SELECTOR.
* Replace wxGetCwd() with wxStandardPaths::GetDocumentsDir(). This fixes the windows issue
where wxGetCwd() returns the path where the executable files are located.
* Add code to handle most recently used path to EDA_BASE_FRAME.
* Fix string formatting error in kicad/files-io.cpp.
* Remove setting and restoring current working directory when launching GerbView. Setting the CWD
has no effect on the launched executable which starts with it's own CWD.
* Allow project path to be passed to GerbView when launched from KiCad.
* Note: this is a work in progress. Do not expect every path and/or file selection dialog to properly
update the most recently used path. The correct solution to this problem requires a much more
well though out solution which will not happen until after the next stable release.
