CHANGED: Symbol chooser search now considers custom symbol fields
Visible columns can be controlled in database libraries.
In standard KiCad libraries, we show columns for all custom fields for now.
Customizable column visibility will be added in the future.
Fixes https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/-/issues/11946
Sub-libraries allow a single-level hierarchy inside a symbol library.
This is useful for database libraries and for supporting other EDA library types where a
single file can contain multiple logical groupings of symbols.
Allows placing parts from an external database that reference symbols from another loaded library.
Includes:
- nanodbc wrapper
- database schematic library plugin
- basic tests

Set up a new lineage for SCH_ITEMS to get back to the SCHEMATIC
they live on: Items will all be parented to the SCH_SCREEN that
they are added to, and each SCH_SCREEN will point back to the
SCHEMATIC that it is part of. Note that this hierarchy is not
the same as the actual schematic hierarchy, which continues to
be managed through SCH_SHEETs and SCH_SHEET_PATHS.
There has been a long standing (since the beginning of the project?)
issue with sharing schematics between projects. It has been somewhat
supported for complex hierarchies (a sheet shared multiple times in a
single design) but it has not been well supported for simple hierarchies
(the symbol references cannot be changed in the shared schematic). This
issue has been resolved by moving all of the symbol instance sheet paths
from the symbol definitions in the all of the project files and save all
symbol path instances in the root sheet. This ensures that orphaned
symbol instance paths do not accumulate in shared schematic files and
that designs that reuse schematic in simple hierarchies can how have
different references. It also allows the root schematic from one project
to be uses as a sub-sheet in another project.
When legacy schematics are loaded, all sheet and symbol UUIDs are
converted from time stamps to true UUIDs. This is done to ensure there
are no sheet path instance clashes between projects. That being said,
there are no checks for this. It is assumed that the probability of
UUID clashes is so low that it doesn't make sense to test for them.
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.
CHANGES: Symbol library file format has been converted to s-expressions.
Add support code for picking apart symbols at some future junction that
will allow full inheritance conversion of existing symbol libraries. For
now, symbols arranged by unit and body style numbers are nested for round
robin testing of symbol libraries once the parser is complete.
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.
With the implementation of the legacy schematic plugin, any I/O error
when parsing the schematics would prevent the entire schematic from
being loaded. This change restores (somewhat) the previous behavior
where as long as the root schematic is loaded properly, then all of
the remaining sub-sheet will attempt to load.
Add GetError() method the SCH_PLUGIN object to allow for partial
schematic loading.
Check the error message contents when no exception was caught to warn
the user of any accumulated errors.

Remove the placeholders for the upcoming s-expression schematic and
symbol library file format plugin type. The lack of a valid plugin
implementation was causing an undefined plugin type string in the
plugin type selection cell when new rows were added to the table.

- Also makes the project and file import functions filetype dependent.
- The change from IO_MGR::KICAD to IO_MGR::KICAD_SEXP removes a conflict from a compile definition for KICAD when compiling kicad/import_project.cpp
- !! Eeschema uses Eagle plugin for loading schematics (i.e. it does not
use KiCad format anymore)
- Fixed build errors
- Fixed a few crashes
- Code formatting
Add SCH_PLUGIN object to PART_LIB object.
Convert all PART_LIB I/O to use SCH_PLUGIN.
Remove library caching from PART_LIB and use caching provided by SCH_PLUGIN.
Add support to use PROPERTIES for buffering and document file write control
instead of adding code the SCH_PLUGIN object in the SCH_LEGACY_PLUGIN that
will not be required when the new file formats are implemented.
Add buffering to SCH_LEGACY_PLUGIN to prevent cache from writing file on
every change to library. This is to prevent the cache library from being
written every time a new symbol is added.
Add option to not save library document file when saving library. This is
primarily used by the cache library write code.
Move symbol library write code out of LIB_PART and into SCH_LEGACY_PLUGIN.
Add exception handling where LIB_PART caught the exception and returned
an error status.
Remove KICAD_SCH_IO_MANAGER build option as it is no longer optional.
