ADD: Allow drawing of current and phase traces with dotted style
for easier differentiation from voltage and magnitude. The option
is available in the View menu of the simulator.
Remove not used files:
- markdown2html is not used (we are using "Sundown" tool)
- newstroke_font_without_CJK.cpp is removed.
Due to code optimization the full font works fine without memory issues
-fix also a few very minor compil warnings
NEW: The simulator plot now avoids colors already in use, if possible.
The palette is replaced with a larger one with less saturated colors.

1) Add highlighting to simProbe and simTune tools.
2) Probe tool should accept wires and pins, not wires and components.
3) Give simulator window a flat look to match rest of Kicad.
4) Collapse whitespace out of simulator window.
5) Add some error messages.
6) Add some whitespace to simulation setting dialog.
Net names in eeschema that include '/' are escaped ('/' replaced by "{slash}")
Escaped netnames are only for internal use, and must be unescaped in spice netlist and dialogs.
Statically constructing wxCursors as used for the probe
and tune cursors crashes the qa_eagle_plugin test
instantly.
Fix this by introducing a new class CURSOR_STORE,
which allows to abstract the platform wierdness of wxCursors
and allow the simulator to laziliy init its own cursors
at runtime.
This code isn't properly tested, as these cursors are never
actually used. However, it does allow the eeschema unit test
to run.

Adds a link-time dependency for libngspice, so that other tools may
detect ngspice as a KiCad dependency.
The library is still loaded with dlopen() as it gives a way to reload it
in case of problems. The DLL name is recognized during CMake
configuration and used to load the library at runtime.
CanonicalizeName only adds the lib prefix and .so suffix, so loading
libngspice.so fails until the development package is installed.
MAC/Windows code paths lookup soversion 0 of ngspice as well, as this
is the only compatible version.
std::invalid_argument does not work fine with translated strings as argument for message.
(the translated message is incorrectly or not displayed if it contains non ascii8 chars, at least on Windows).
KI_PARAM_ERROR can be throw-ed with a translatable/translated string (a wxString)
Code fixing Spice device names (prefixing reference with a character
corresponding to the assigned device model type) that was duplicated in
a few places has been moved to a function (NETLIST_EXPORTER_PSPICE::GetSpiceDevice()).
The main purpose of the patch is to load libngspice from macOS bundle.
There are also some additional paths that could make Windows developers
easier.

ngSpice frequently ends up a simulation with an error:
"Error: ngspice.dll cannot recover and awaits to be detached"
The only way forward is to reload the shared library and
reinitialize ngSpice.
