Prior to fixing the schematic file change churn do to instance data
changing to the last selected sheet instance, the symbol instance data
was set rather than empty. This change allows for users to set the
default instance data which is used for every new instance of the
schematic.
ADDED: Default schematic symbol instance data (unit and reference, value,
and footprint fields) can be set to be used as the default settings
for all new instances of the schematic.

Also fixes some plot bugs with arcs.
Also moves polygonization of arcs (when required) in plotting code
from 5 degrees to calculated based on ARC_HIGH_DEF.

ADDED arc, circle and rectangle shapes for schematic. Shapes support
line styles and fill colors.
CHANGED sheet background color in Edit Text & Graphics Properties to
fill color (and it now affects shapes).
Pushed STROKE_PARAMS down into common and moved all shapes to using it
for stroke descriptions.
This change is a bit more invasive than the description above would
suggest. UUIDs have been added to all schematics. For now, it's only
useful to the root schematic so that the UUID in the project file does
not change every time the project file is save. In the future, it may
be useful to store and check the schematic UUIDs against the one's saved
in the project file.

The groundwork has now been laid for per sheet instance data. Initially
this only supports sheet page numbers but could be expanded to include
other per sheet instance information.
ADDED: Support for user defined schematic page numbers.
Also fixes a couple of bugs where resolving a textVar reference
to the refDes or unit wouldn't get the correct value in a
hierarchical schematic. (Unlogged.)

This provides a method to add symbols that represent footprints on the
board that do not have an associate component such as mounting holes,
fiducials, logos, etc that should be excluded from the bill of materials.
It also prevents those footprints from being removed from the board
accidentally when updating the board from the schematic.
ADDED: Support to exclude schematic symbols from bill of materials
export.
Please note that the symbol cache is not embedded in the schematic file
to allow for round robin testing with the existing file format. Once
the parser round robin testing is complete, the symbol cache will be
embedded in the schematic file.
This implements all existing symbol library object support and the ability
to save and load symbol library files between file formats for round robin
testing.
