Improved the selection heuristics to keep footprints in the
disambiguation menu when they contain pads with high pad-to-footprint
area ratio.
In other words: make it possible to select a footprint when
most of its area is taken by a pad. Previously pads were given the
priority, so it was very tricky to select the parent footprint.

In theory there should be no polygons with empty outline, but as you see
there was at least one leading to a crash.

To avoid situations when a large footprint covering most of the board
area (e.g. shield connector) is always selected, even when user clicks
in a seemingly empty spot, a simple filter has been added. In case
the footprint area covers more than 90% of the view area, the large
footprint is not selected. This way large footprints do not disturb
editing when the zoom is high enough.

This adjusts the selection addition criteria for
blocks to allow items such as labels to connect to
lines not at the endpoints. It also uses the same
logic to correctly gather bus-wire, bus-bus entries.

Apparently explicitly requesting a column to be sorted breaks component
filtering on Windows. Without SetSortOrder() call the list is sorted and
filtering still works as expected.

Please never ask me about the SetSortOrder() part. When it is set to
'true', wxDataViewCtrl::EnsureVisible() does not always work correctly,
so sometimes the best search result is not shown in the window (no
pattern found). Now it is set to 'false' to avoid the described
behavior, but the sorting order is reversed on Windows, not on Linux.
I could not test it on OSX, but I am sure it paints walls in your room
pink. /me burst into tears.

Enable "save curr lib" tool of main toolbar when modified even if this lib is empty.
It happens when all items are erased, and it is consistent with the close libedit dialog
that ask for saving all modified libraries
Standalone eeschema did not have the project path set when importing
a non-KiCad sheet. Due to this any libraries created during the import
were saved to the directory of eeschema executable instead of the actual
schematic directory.
The previous implementation relied only on the project name. When it is
set, the imported library was named '-eagle-import'. Now it tries
the project name and then the file name, using 'noname-eagle-import'
as fallback.
The library name is stored in the plugin to avoid changing the library
name after the project name has been set.
