Review of #1272: scorpio810 asked for a warning box for users; the inline
box added in 9a55939bb is replaced by a pop-up, as the element editor
gives for unnamed terminals. When OK in Settings > General or in Project
properties turns a rule on (a limit where there was none, or one wire
per folio report), a warning says the rules are experimental, may change
with settings to redo if wires and conductors become separate objects,
and can all be turned off in Settings > General. OK goes on. Changing a
limit that was already on, or turning rules off, shows nothing.
tst_wiringrules: when the warning is due (WiringRules::turnsRuleOn()).
Checked in the GUI from both pages, and that a plain OK shows nothing.
English for translators: "Warning"; "The wires-per-terminal rules are an
experimental feature. They count wires as QElectroTech represents them
today. They could change, and your settings need redoing, if wires and
conductors become separate objects in a future version. All these rules
can be turned off in Configure QElectroTech > General."

The limits were per project only. They are now set once in Settings >
General, under the master switch: the most wires per terminal and "one
wire per folio report". Every project follows them.
Project properties > "Conducteurs par borne" gets "Utiliser les réglages
de l'application", ticked by default, showing the application's values
greyed. Unticked, the project keeps its own values, saved in the project
as before, so a drawing that needs its own limit carries it to any
computer. A project's own "no limit" overrides an application limit too.
QETProject::wiringRules() now returns the rules in force (the project's
own, or the application's), so the code that checks a wire is unchanged;
projectWiringRules() returns what the project itself stores. A project
that follows the application still writes nothing, so it saves exactly as
before.
tst_wiringrules: which rules win, the save round trip of a project's own
"no rule", and through the real binary that the application's limit
refuses a wire unless the project overrides it or the master switch is
off (checked to fail with the application's rules ignored). ctest 55/55.

Discussion #1158, stacked on the limit itself. Two of QElectroTech's own
tools wire several terminals as a star, every terminal to one of them:
"create wires in a drawn polygon" (also qet.addConductor()), and deleting
a symbol, which rewires the far ends to keep the potential. Six terminals
give the hub five wires, which the project's limit forbids.
When the project sets a limit (and the master switch is on), both now
wire the terminals one after another instead, from the top left one to
the nearest not yet wired (WiringRules::chainOrder()). The polygon tool
also skips a wire whose terminal is already full. Without a limit, both
build the star as before.
tst_wiringrules: the chain order, and through the real binary that
deleting a symbol wired to four others leaves them with at most two
wires each under a limit, three on one of them without (checked to fail
with chaining turned off).

Discussion #1158: a real terminal takes one or two wires (four with
double ferrules), a folio report is a virtual point that carries one, but
QElectroTech lets any number of wires be connected anywhere.
Project properties > General gets a "Conducteurs par borne" group:
- the most wires a terminal may take (0, the default, is no limit);
- "one wire per folio report".
When set, a new wire that would go past the limit is refused: the
terminal shows red while dragging, as for any refused link, and a tooltip
says why on release. Auto-connect on placing, moving or multi-pasting a
symbol skips full terminals, and qet.addConductor() refuses with its own
message. Wires already drawn, opening, pasting and undo are never
refused.
Settings > General gets a master switch, on by default, that turns every
rule of this feature off in every project; the project group is greyed
with a note while it is off.
The rules live in wiringrules.cpp. The project setting is saved as
<wiring_rules .../> only when a rule is on, so a project that never used
it saves exactly as before; an older version drops it, which means "off".
tst_wiringrules covers the rules, the save round trip and, through the
real binary, that a wire past the limit is refused unless the master
switch is off (checked to fail with the limit check removed).
