This function attempted a poor-man's natural compare but it assumed
specific structure of the string. This broke for strings with
numberings that looked like decimals.
Instead, we use our natural string comparison function and remove the
references to this older function and its similar elements.
Fixes https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/issues/9067
This function was incorrectly processing refdeses like "U1000".
Change the algorithm to a simpler STL-compatible one and
update the tests.
Fixes: lp:1813669
* https://bugs.launchpad.net/kicad/+bug/1813669
This breaks the following functions out to a general-purposed refdes utils
header:
* MODULE::GetReferencePrefix()
* kicad_string.h RefDesStringCompare()
This acheives:
* Slimming of MODULE interface
* Placement of refdes code in common rather than pcbnew
** Testing of this code in qa_common
* Tighter and smaller includes for code that only needed refdes functions
Note: there are failing tests commited (as expected failures). These
are the cause of lp:1813669 and will be fixed as a follow-up commit.
