Since we are linking to boost anyway, use boost function for case
insensitive string compare. While there, make affected methods accept
std::string arguments, which simplifies code a bit.
"Professional CMake" book suggest the following:
"Targets should build successfully with or without compiler support for precompiled headers. It
should be considered an optimization, not a requirement. In particular, do not explicitly include a
precompile header (e.g. stdafx.h) in the source code, let CMake force-include an automatically
generated precompile header on the compiler command line instead. This is more portable across
the major compilers and is likely to be easier to maintain. It will also avoid warnings being
generated from certain code checking tools like iwyu (include what you use)."
Therefore, removed the "#include <PreCompiled.h>" from sources, also
there is no need for the "#ifdef _PreComp_" anymore
The Python version of this class is entirely static: no instance is
required. Internally it accesses th pre-constructed instance of the C++
ApplicationDirectories class that is instantiated at program startup by
the Application class.
Defaults for both precision (number of digits after decimal point)
and denominator (number of fractions) are defined on various places
making difficult to find which default is used for various tasks.
Store these values at one central place: UnitsApi. Unless overriden
by user, default values are defined by unitSchemasDataPack.
Use std::filesystem wherever possible, replacing most uses of
std::string when the object is actually a path. This is the first stage
of refactoring, and does not make any changes to Application that affect
client code. Access to the new directory-handling class is implemented,
but is unused by any external code.
Fixes: Maintaining schemas is difficult and error-prone
- Facilitate easy schemas add, remove, change, etc.
- Remove 14 files containing approx 2,190 lines of if/else code and data
- Place data in one file (UnitsSchemasData.h) using a normalized structure (including special functions)
- Isolate and simplify data operations (code)
- Remove schemas enum to keep data independent of code
- Separate responsibilities: Specifications, data, schemas, schema
- Add schema data 'isDefault'
- Add schema data name
- Prefer algorithms to raw loops
- Add schemas unit tests
- Tweak quantity unit tests
Replace it with a piece of code that replicates the functionality. Also eliminate the round-trip through char * that this function was using (the final variable is stored as a std::string anyway).

* Unify names in header and cpp files
* Make names consistent across methods with similar uses
* Fix spacing
