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.

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.

This also makes sure that the user gets a warning before saving over
an older s-expr format. While that won't always be wanted, it's now
in the infobar (like in PCBNew), so it's not too onerous.§

The variable `m_Initialized` in `BASE_SCREEN` is used by
`SCH_EDIT_FRAME` to mark whether a screen had its zoom level initialized
by the "zoom to fit screen" action. When this variable is `false`, the
function `SCH_EDIT_FRAME::DisplayCurrentSheet()` performs "zoom to fit
screen", modifying the zoom level. This function is indirectly called in
the undo routines, so if `m_Initialized` is not set to `true`, a zoom
change will occur when the user undoes an operation, a behavior that is
undesired.
`m_Initialized` was not initialized to `true` for the null schematic
(the schematic that is loaded if no project is loaded), causing the
aforementioned undesired behavior.
To prevent this, I've changed the `SCH_EDIT_FRAME` constructor to set
`m_Initialized` to `true`, since it zooms to fit screen already. I've
moved `m_Initialized` from `BASE_SCREEN` to `SCH_SCREEN`, as it is used
only in Eeschema, and renamed it to `m_zoomInitialized`, a name I
believe that better describes what this variable does.
I've also introduced the function `SCH_EDIT_FRAME::initScreenZoom()` to
group the "zoom to fit screen" action with setting `m_Initialized` to
`true`, as they often should occur together.
I'd also like to say that I'm not confident whether
`SCH_EDIT_FRAME::DisplayCurrentSheet()` should perform the zoom level
initialization at this point, but I have decided to not change this
behavior for now, as the commit history suggests it's several years old.

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.)
Fixes https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/issues/5397
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.
This is a very large and potentially disruptive change so this will be an
unusually long and detailed commit message.
The new file formats are now the default in both the schematic and symbol
library editors. Existing symbol libraries will be saved in their current
format until new features are added to library symbols. Once this happens,
both the legacy schematic and symbol file formats will be no longer be
savable and existing libraries will have to be converted. Saving to the
legacy file formats is still available for round robin testing and should
not be used for normal editing.
When loading the legacy schematic file, it is imperative that the schematic
library symbols are rescued and/or remapped to valid library identifiers.
Otherwise, there will be no way to link to the original library symbol and
the user will be required manually set the library identifier. The cached
symbol will be saved in the schematic file so the last library symbol in
the cache will still be used but there will be no way to update it from the
original library.
The next save after loading a legacy schematic file will be converted to
the s-expression file format. Schematics with hierarchical sheets will
automatically have all sheet file name extensions changed to .kicad_sym
and saved to the new format as well.
Appending schematics requires that the schematic to append has already been
converted to the new file format. This is required to ensure that library
symbols are guaranteed to be valid for the appended schematic.
The schematic symbol library symbol link resolution has been moved out of
the SCH_COMPONENT object and move into the SCH_SCREEN object that owns the
symbol. This was done to ensure that there is a single place where the
library symbol links get resolved rather than the dozen or so different
code paths that previously existed. It also removes the necessity of the
SCH_COMPONENT object of requiring any knowledge of the symbol library table
and/or the cache library.
When opening an s-expression schematic, the legacy cache library is not
loaded so any library symbols not rescued cannot be loaded. Broken library
symbol links will have to be manually resolved by adding the cache library
to the symbol library table and changing the links in the schematic symbol.
Now that the library symbols are embedded in the schematic file, the
SCH_SCREEN object maintains the list of library symbols for the schematic
automatically. No external manipulation of this library cache should ever
occur.
ADDED: S-expression schematic and symbol library file formats.
Also fixes a bug where we were depending on the old deque stuff's
deterministic traversal, which isn't provided by the new RTree stuff.

This moves EESchema DLIST structures to rtree. These changes are more
fundamental than the pcbnew changes from 9163ac543888c01d11d1877d7c1
and 961b22d60 as eeschema operations were more dependent on passing
drawing list references around with SCH_ITEM* objects.
Add missing check for root sheet when searching sheet hierarchies for
already loaded schematics. This prevents the root sheet from being
omitted when adding new sheets using the root sheet file name.
CHANGED: Make file name tests case sensitive so that schematic sheet
file names on non-Windows systems can be uses as expected.
Warn users when attempting to use schematic file names that only vary
by case sensitivity that doing so will result in a project that is not
portable to Windows.

Do not add cache library from another project to old library list. This
is wrong and can cause all kinds of symbol library linking issues. It's
better to force the user to fix broken symbol library links than the false
security of using multiple cache libraries.
Use correct paths when appending schematic outside of the current project
path when hierarchical sheets are appended. If the path can be relative,
give the user the option to use either relative or absolute paths.
Do not change symbol library names in schematics appended from a source
outside the current project. This will almost ensure the symbol library
links will be broken in the source project.
When the appended schematic is from another project, attempt to check all
of the possible combinations of symbol library table importing that could
cause broken symbol library links and give the user the option of canceling
the append operation or live with the possibility that there may be broken
symbol library links.
When the append schematic is in the current project path but not part of
the schematic, check to see if there are any library nicknames that do
no exist in the project symbol library table and give the user a chance
to cancel the append process.
