This patch will fix numerous minor OS X issues and will also add some new functionality to OS X with the Astrometry Conf File Editor and to all operating systems with the addition of the Astrometry Index File Configuration Pane.

1.  Adds the Astrometry Index File Configuration Pane.  For now, it just displays what indexes are installed and makes recommendations based on your CCD.  It also gives you a link to the folder so that you can see where to add the index files you need.  In the future I would like to make this an interface for downloading index files you need and possibly temporarily disabling ones that are installed but that you don’t need right now.
2.  Adds the Astrometry.cfg editor for OS X only.  For now, all it does is to load the file into a plain text editor, then allows you to make changes and save them.  Later it might be good to change this to make it more user friendly.  But this does add a decent amount of additional capability already.
3.  Fixes the INDI drivers default directory on OS X. (When not using the Internal Indiserver)
4.  Fixes the constellation art problem.
5.  Changes the server for the GSC zip file download since the other one was not as reliable and slower.
6.  Fixes a bug that could cause problems if you exited the KStars setup wizard without setting the geolocation.
7.  Makes the Astrometry options a QT Tool window on OS X.

Jasem: I made a few modifications to this patch in the GUI and also in implementation. No more update button, it will update on show event. I added an introductory paragraph with icons for each index state instead of having tooltip explanation.
I fixed one issue with math since it was not marking some index files that were required. Change FOV display to match what align module is showing. Prevented new pages from apeparing in Windows since they cannot use offline solver.

Fix several minor issues in Align. Make isSlewDirty a member variable in case scope does not send busy signal

In case of conflict in i18n, keep the version of the branch "ours"
To resolve a particular conflict, "git checkout --ours path/to/file.desktop"

If script shuts down INDI then no need to check for user option regarding stopping Ekos after shutdown since INDI termination will stop Ekos

Do not send invalid values in online astrometry mode if the passed arguments do not contain such value

Re-work how alignment module options are generated for different modes (online, offline, remote, from file) and how they are saved between sessions. Move Alignment options from Ekos settings to alignment module own settings module.

First, it changes the color of the center telescope cursor to red to make it more visible when trying to center the telescope.
Second, it makes the center Telescope Cursor switch back to whatever cursor you had before after you start a slew and will reset whatever button was checked to make the center telescope function work.
Third, the floating toolbar looked like buttons were not checked when in fact they were checked, so I adjusted the colors a bit. This fix had an extra benefit of making the toolbar a little smaller, matching the button size.
Finally, I changed the mouse cursor for the Preview view to be drag mouse, just like the fits viewer.

Use cross-platform friendly filenames as ISO8601 with colons causes issues under Windows. Also display dark frames in the dark view

Storing current profile pointer in Ekos manager and now using a MUCH better method to connect devices if auto-connect was turned on
