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
Also fixes a bug where the pretty printer didn't insert
linebreaks for a forest (it assumed a single tree root).
Also further regularises bool and quote formatting.
Also removes the plot-fp-refs, plot-fp-values and
plot fp-text overrides from the GUI, but leaves
them as job arguments.
(Note that the job arguments also separate out
sketching DNP graphics and plotting the 'X', which
the GUI does not.)

ADDED: Any addition board layers can be plotted on all selected board layer
when plotting.
CHANGED: The new plot to all layers feature made the plot edge cuts option
obsolete. Users must now select the edge cuts layer from the list of
plot to all layer selections to include edge cuts on all layers when
plotting.

Use 4 digits in mantissa as default and when exporting SVG.
Allow 0 as line width: this is the right value to draw filled shapes with no outline thickness.
You had to set the line width in the SVG export dialog in order to
change the displayed line width in the 3d viewer. The line width did
not affect the SVG export. Removing in favor of the Board design
settings for line widths
Plot Gerber format default values: X2 attributes enabled.
Gerber job file: use a trick to truncate floating values to 4 digits in mantissa.
It gives a much better readability and 0.1 micron is enough for
mechanical dimensions
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.
