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.
There is no need to create a new root symbol and re-parent all derived
symbols when renaming a root symbol. Just rename the buffered root
symbol.
Test for duplicate symbol names when validating the properties dialog
information to prevent broken symbol pointers.
Fix a field drawing bug when editing derived symbols.
Fix bug to insure duplicate symbol names cannot exist in a library.

Apparently the schematic and symbol library editors now have common
selection filtering so checking for a valid LIB_EDIT_FRAME when
filtering for the schematic editor frame prevented all schematic
object from being selected.
The symbol editor selection criteria did not include LIB_FIELD objects
which allowed the root symbol name to be changed causing broken derived
symbol links. Disable the symbols fields from being edited when a
derived part is shown in the editor to prevent this.
Add a missing warning that deleting a root symbol used to derive other
symbols would also delete all derived symbols from a library. Give the
user a chance to cancel the delete operation in this case.

Don't clobber value file when load aliases in legacy symbol library cache
parser.
Use actual symbol library LIB_PART pointer rather than a flattened copy
of the symbol. This fixed a bug when displaying the parent field in the
message panel for derived symbols.
Simplify the flatten code by copying the parent and updating the lesser
information from the inherited symbol.
This change completely removes the LIB_ALIAS design pattern an replaces
it by allowing LIB_PART objects to inherit from other LIB_PART objects.
The initial implementation only allows for single inheritance and only
supports the mandatory fields in the derived part because that is all
that the current symbol library file format will support. Once the new
file format is implemented and saving to the old file format is deprecated,
more complex inheritance will be added. The LIB_ALIAS information saved
in the document files was move into the LIB_PART object. This change
impacts virtually every part of the schematic and symbol library editor
code so this commit message is woefully incomplete.
REMOVE: Removed the symbol aliases concept from the schematic and symbol
editors and the symbol viewer.
NEW: Replace the symbol alias concept with simple inheritance that allows
a library symbol to be derived from another library symbol.
When dragging a bus the entry is connected to the bus so the wire
connected to the entry (if any) needs to stretch.
While an entry can connect in the middle of bus, it cannot connect
in the middle of a wire.

Copy/Paste should keep the original items' designation for all units and
conversion type. If it was specified in the original copy, we should
keep the same specification when pasting (but update for the current
frame)
The new connectivity algorithm had a tendency to cleanup
globally, but that could insert undo records from other sheets
into the current screen's undo stack. Needless to say, this
was a recipie for segfaults.

Right click is a pointing operation combined with a request for the
context menu. We need to highlight the user's intended object when they
have moved their mouse to a new element instead of showing the context
menu for the selected object.
However, in cases where the selection is difficult to make, it is
sometimes helpful to select the item first, then right-click. In these
cases, we keep the selection where the mouse remains inside the selected
object's bounding box.
When placing a new component in the schematic, this allows the user to
iterate through all units in the selected component without re-opening
the choose part dialog. It also allows the optional addition of
multiple copies of the same component to be placed in the schematic.

Adding a field to a selection changes the bounding box and count for
rotation. This can cause odd offsets when the field is rotated against
the selection center rather than the bounding box as well as with the
component.

The break wire command will break all wires at a point. If there are
multiple crossing wires, we need to check to see if a junction might be
required to reflect the new connection.

When we add enough SHEET_PINs that the vector has to grow, it

1) When sheet pins are on 3 or more sides there's no point in switching
the orientation to vertical.
2) Careful that we don't cause the sheet to walk when rotating and the
sheet-name or file-name is longer than the side it's on.

Saving individual parts of a schematic can break the schematic. This
