Manage boards dialog to select active boards and see descriptions. #109

What change would like to see?

A dialog box to allow the management of the boards listed in the tools menu.  
This should allow 
the selection of which boards will appear in the menu and should show a 
description of each 
board.  It would also allow the hiding of old boards by default.

Why?

To help deal with the growing number of boards in the menu and make it easier 
to understand 
what each means. 

Would this cause any incompatibilities with previous versions?  If so, how
can these be mitigated?

For people currently using an old board that would not be in the default 
selection of shown 
boards, this could be annoying.  One mitigations is to always show the 
currently active board in 
the menu.  Still, people with two different old boards will need to go into the 
dialog and re-select 
the boards they're using.
