ispyisail d159a8be94 Settings files: leave out dialog sizes, trackpad gestures with controls
- Dialog sizes and positions (dialoggeometry/...) describe this computer,
  like the other window layout keys: no longer saved to a settings file,
  and kept when one is loaded.
- The trackpad gestures setting (diagramview/gestures) is in the part
  for toolbars, shortcuts and gestures rather than all other settings.
- Loading only the defaults for new projects now says it is done.

ispyisail 24e67da33c Add saving and loading part of the settings (discussion #1405)
Save settings as... now asks which parts to save: toolbars, keyboard
shortcuts and mouse gestures; defaults for new projects (folio, title
block, wires, numbering); everything else. All three ticked writes the
same complete file as before (format 1, collection folders included).

A file with only some parts is format 2 and lists its parts. Loading it
replaces those parts and keeps every other setting. The folders of the
collections are never in such a file: they rarely exist on another
computer. A QElectroTech that only knows format 1 refuses it rather than
loading it as complete and losing every other setting.

A file holding only the defaults for new projects loads without closing
QElectroTech, since QETProject reads them again for every new project.

Which part a key belongs to is ConfigProfile::partOf(); a key it does
not list falls in "everything else", so a new setting can never be left
out of every part. The test checks that what BorderProperties writes for
the folio defaults lands in the new-project part.

ispyisail 473f792bac Add saving and loading the configuration to a file (discussion #610)
Revives #640, closed only to clear a review backlog. Two entries in
the Configuration menu: "Enregistrer la configuration sous..." saves
the settings to a .conf file, "Charger une configuration..." replaces
them with one. The file is always ini format, so a profile made on one
platform loads on the others.

Changes from #640:
- Window sizes, positions and dock layouts (".../geometry",
  ".../state") and the recent-files lists stay out of a profile and
  are kept on load: they describe this computer, not a preference.
- A saved file carries a format marker; loading refuses files that
  QElectroTech did not save.
- Loading closes QElectroTech and asks the user to start it again,
  instead of starting a second copy: a second copy started while this
  one is still running hands its arguments over and exits (main.cpp).
- The colour dialog's custom colours are reloaded from the profile
  before quitting, since ~QETApp() saves them over the loaded ones.
- Both actions are registered with ShortcutManager, so they appear in
  command search and can be given a shortcut.
- The copy rules live in the header-only utils/configprofile.h and
  are unit tested (tst_configprofile).

Loading still replaces rather than merges: a setting the profile does
not have is removed, or switching profiles would keep settings from the
previous one.
