Recommendation is to avoid using the year nomenclature as this
information is already encoded in the git repo. Avoids needing to

The separates it from the LAYER_SELECTOR class - deciding
what color a layer is (say) is separate to managing the
actual selection of the layer. For example, sel_layer.cpp
only needs the presentation logic. This also makes it eaiser

Additonally, break out the layer pair swatch function

including wx.h is useless for this file, and include wx.h in a lot of other files.
Include wx.h must be made only when needed in a given file, because on Windows
it include some headers that frequently create collision with kicad declarations
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.
Colors are assigned to virtual layers while the ToLayer_ID returns a
physical layer enum. The GetLayerColor/SetLayerColor take LAYER_NUM
(int) values that can be larger than the physical layer count.
