ADD: User can now decide to keep the hierarchy navigator open while working
on a schematic.
This behavior can be configured in eeschema->preferences->eeschema->Editing options.
ADDED: a config option to select (when clicking on a pin) the parent symbol
or only the pin.
Previously, when cliking on a pin, the parent symbol was selected.
Allowing the pin selection is mandatory in cross probing, and to display the pin
characteristics in some cases, for instance if a pin is flagged by the ERC tooL.
ADDED new option to set selection highlight thickness.
Also change selection shadow width constants to
make the selection thickness change less drastically
with the zoom level.
Add missing check for root sheet when searching sheet hierarchies for
already loaded schematics. This prevents the root sheet from being
omitted when adding new sheets using the root sheet file name.
CHANGED: Make file name tests case sensitive so that schematic sheet
file names on non-Windows systems can be uses as expected.
Warn users when attempting to use schematic file names that only vary
by case sensitivity that doing so will result in a project that is not
portable to Windows.

Note that since the markup might exist for other reasons, it has
to be turned on with a preference setting. (It goes through a set
of bitflags so the same architecture can be used for other markup
structures that we might want to support in the future.)
Note also that this is more about engineering nomenclature than
visual formatting. In that respect it's more similar to overbar
than italic or bold.
Check for symbol libraries that somehow ended up in the project file
after remapping occurred and remove all of them to prevent potentially
broken symbol library links.
Add nagware dialog to warn the user and a checkbox to never show the
dialog again.

Also rewrites the PCBNew Find dialog to make use of the above, including:
1) searching in user-defined footprint fields
2) searching in pcb text
3) a history list in the search popup
4) case sensitive searching
5) word sensitive searching
6) the ability to turn wildcard searching on/off
7) better placement of the result when the dialog obscures part of the
window

If Symbol Editor isn't open then Eeschema needs to read in the
default line width.
Symbol Editor was failing to write line width parameter back to
properties.

Save/restore default netclass.
Read layers back in with correct syntax ('.' between keyword and layer name).
Write layers to project file.
Read/write layer enablement bits.
Don't set solder paste margin min to 0 (most of them are negative).

Bus upgrades: core new connectivity code
Bus upgrades: eeschema integration and modifications
Bus upgrades: eeschema dialogs
Bus upgrades: netlist export
Bus upgrades: file format changes
In particular, don't move block back to start when duplicating,
and don't move crosshair back to start when doing a cut, copy, or
paste.
Also fixes undo for libEdit block duplicate.

Dynamic casts should only be used when we explicitly check for the
resulting pointer to be NULL. Where we know the class is castable we
can use static_cast, save on overhead and ensure our resulting pointer
is non-null.
