Without the project files, certain settings will not be saved by this
python call. This defaults to false (current behavior) but setting the
`aSkipSettings` to true will revert to v5 behavior

KiCad cannot have more than one board/project open, so disallow
the Python APIs for loading additional boards when the frame is
present. Inherit the SETTINGS_MANAGER from the frame when present
instead of creating a new one that won't have the loaded project.
Currently there is pcbnew.ExportSpecctraDSN() but it needs a pcbnew
frame set which makes it unusable outside of the scripting window or a
plugin.
This refactors actual exporting logic into separate helper and adds an
overload to ExportSpecctraDSN(board, filename) that doesn't need pcbnew
window.

Note: this is a fairly basic API, you can't retrieve
individual DRC items. This is intended to be a hold-over
until we write the new Python API that can expose full
functionality (since we do not want to wrap the entire
DRC system with SWIG)
Various architecture upgrades to support this.
Creating a BOARD now requires a valid PROJECT, which caused
some (mostly transparent) changes to the Python API internals.
ADDED: Project local settings file
CHANGED: Board design settings are no longer stored in PCB file
CHANGED: Net classes are no longer stored in PCB file
CHANGED: Importing board settings now reads boards, not just projects

When moving user user units out of the global, we missed that Python
calls were using it. This re-adds a function to retrieve user units
allowing the python scripts to show users dialogs in their preferred
units.
pcbnew_action_plug tracks items that were modified within a plugin. In the case of
deletion, the old object is no longer valid. This commit turns off the call to delete
if a plugin is active.
Add typedef for wxCoord to wx.i to enable usage of methods like
EDA_RECT.Inflate.
Added id.h to pcbnew.i to expose window toolbar identifier names.
Added Refresh() and WindowZoom() to pcbnew_scripting_helper.
*) Extend SWIG support deeper into the BOARD class.
*) Move swig *.i files into a directory identified for SWIG, in preparation
for a parallel universe involving Phoenix's SIP.
*) Move swig files which will be common to both eeschema and pcbnew into
common/swig.
*) Sketch out a "common" python module, and plan on dovetailing that into a
libkicad_shared.{dll,so}
*) Add common/swig/ki_exceptions.i and define a macro HANDLE_EXCEPTIONS()
which is to be applied to any function which needs C++ to python
exception translation.
*) Move the test for SWIG tool into top level CMakeLists.txt file for use
in all python modules beyond pcbnew, i.e. eeschema and common.
*) Add SWIG_MODULE_pcbnew_EXTRA_DEPS which generates a better Makefile, one
which rebuilds the swig generated *.cxx file when one of its dependencies
change.
*) Re-architect the board.i file so that it can be split into multiple *.i
files easily.
*) Make some KIWAY from python progress, in preparation for Modular KiCad
phase III.
