Pass the current SCHEMATIC object pointer in SCH_SYMBOL ctor so that
newly created symbols will update the current instance data on creation
when the current sheet instance is being displayed.
This is a better fix for the master branch and cherry-picking from 6.0
was a mess.

Allows placing parts from an external database that reference symbols from another loaded library.
Includes:
- nanodbc wrapper
- database schematic library plugin
- basic tests

This change removes the incorrect assumption that symbol pin numbers are
integers and are the same as indexes in the vector storing the symbol
pins.
"~" is now used to denote a floating sim model pin.
The commit bumps the schematic file format version in order to fix the
initial symbol default instance data to the first instance of each symbol.
It also sets the initial instance data to undefined in the SCH_SYMBOL
ctor so on the first schematic save, the default instance will be set
to the first instance of the symbol.

There is no technical reason for this restriction for non-power symbols, so let's remove it.
This will allow more flexibility and compatibility with other tools.
Fixes https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/-/issues/9389
The legacy and s-expression (prior to version 20200828) file formats only
supported symbol unit and reference fields so the newly added value and
footprint fields must be updated from the original symbol fields.
Fixes https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/-/issues/12226
Implemented serialization and deserialization of models in symbol fields
through the SIM_VALUE class. We don't carry the Spice legacy of
case-insensitive suffixes, instead we conform to the SI standard (i.e. M
is Mega, not milli, P is peta, p is pico).
Parameter grid value validation is implemented by simply not allowing
any characters that will make the value invalid (instead of highlighting
the field in a red color). This will likely be changed at some point in
the future.
SCH_SYMBOL::Unit() is updated when the symbol is on the screen, we need
to get the instance unit so it's right even if it's not being displayed /
has never been displayed.
Fixes: https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/-/issues/12050
Previous use of instance was as an "override" of the default value.
This has changed to be used as the primary storage location for all
values. This means that we cannot clear the instance data when setting
a new value for all instances, instead we have to change the instance
data and the default value is superfluous
Fixes https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/issues/11439
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.
Fixes https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/-/issues/11113
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.
Grid-based accuracy doesn't need to be any larger than 1/2 the
diagonal as we'll snap to one side or the other. And symbols don't
need as much slop as other items since there's plenty of "meat" on
them.
Fixes https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/issues/9805
Text has a fairly big bounding box to account for descenders, overbars,
etc., but it makes it feel too sloppy for hittesting. This change
allows selection disambiguation to look at the actual strokes of the
text when deciding what's "closest".
Fixes https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/issues/9506
They don't define a KiCad string class, so the header file name was
somewhat misleading. But the fact that they didn't match definitely
made coding more difficult.
It's tempting to say that we don't need to exclude filename chars
from symbols, but we might regret that decision down the road. Better
to just escape them.
Fixes https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/issues/8694
Given a symbol U12A, some parts of the code were assuming the prefix was
'U' while others were assuming 'U12'. Further complication arose when
there were '?' in the library version.
Fixes https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/issues/8223
1) Don't reset value when name changes
2) Don't fire events when initialising dialog
3) Make sure when symbol is saved back to schematic that only current
instance has its ref updated, but that all instances have their other
fields updated.
4) When saving symbol back to board always use the fields from the
editor and not the (alias-specific) ones from the library.
Fixes https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/issues/8159
Bitmaps are now identified by an enum class instead of by pointers.
Bitmap loading and caching is now handled by a class in common, and
we no longer compile most bitmaps into the binary, so there is no
longer a bitmaps static library.
Instead, bitmaps are archived to a .tar.gz file which is installed
in ${KICAD_DATA}/resources/images.tar.gz
The source PNGs are checked in to Git as the original CPP files were,
so that people can build without the required dependencies to convert
SVGs to PNGs.
Initial support is also added for dark theme icons, although this
is not yet exposed in the GUI.
Stubs are present for multi-resolution image resources, but this is
not fully-baked yet and could use some refinement.
This fix required sorting all of the LIB_PART draw items to ensure
accurate comparison between the symbols stored in the schematic and the
original library symbols. This has a noticeable impact on symbol library
load performance. It may also cause significant changes the next time
the library is saved due to changes in the draw item sorting. Hashing
may be a better solution here but this addressed the immediate problem.
A skeleton method SCH_SCREEN::SwapSymbolLinks() was added because there
is most likely an issue with orphaned symbols in the schematic library
symbol cache during undo/redo operations. More testing is required to
verify this.
