55cde18c5a Reword error messages that are displayed when a group fails to solve.
The current messages accurately reflect what happens to the system
of equations that represents the sketch, but can be quite confusing
to users that only think in terms of the constraints.

We use "unsolvable" and not "impossible" because while most of
the cases that result in this error message will indeed stem from
mutually exclusive sets of constraints, it is still possible that
there is some solution that our solver is unable to find using
numeric methods.

3ffbac38c6 Refactor Cnf* functions.
On Windows, freeze.{cpp,h} was factored into w32main.cpp.
The old implementation was too redundant and leaked registry
key handles.

On all platforms, Cnf* functions now use std::string.
This simplifies code everywhere, but will be particularly useful
when the Windows port switches to the *W WinAPI functions.

45f056c852 Replace all ZERO and memset with C++11 brace-initialization.
This will allow us to use non-POD classes inside these objects
in future and is otherwise functionally equivalent, as well
as more concise.

Note that there are some subtleties with handling of
brace-initialization. Specifically:

On aggregates (e.g. simple C-style structures) using an empty
brace-initializer zero-initializes the aggregate, i.e. it makes
all members zero.

On non-aggregates an empty brace-initializer calls the default
constructor. And if the constructor doesn't explicitly initialize
the members (which the auto-generated constructor doesn't) then
the members will be constructed but otherwise uninitialized.

So, what is an aggregate class? To quote the C++ standard
(C++03 8.5.1 §1):

An aggregate is an array or a class (clause 9) with no
user-declared constructors (12.1), no private or protected
non-static data members (clause 11), no base classes (clause 10),
and no virtual functions (10.3).

In SolveSpace, we only have to handle the case of base classes;
Constraint and Entity have those. Thus, they had to gain a default
constructor that does nothing but initializes the members to zero.

b23336b589 Add a new length-difference constraint.
This constraint requires the lengths of two line segments to
differ by a constant.
It can be useful to define the tolerances when making joints.

5d7a5bf3a7 Pack everything into namespace SolveSpace.
This is required to avoid name conflicts with the Cocoa libraries
on OS X.

I renamed the `class SolveSpace` to `class SolveSpaceUI`, because
that's what it does, and because otherwise the namespace would
have to be called something else than `namespace SolveSpace`.
