Because the cache is broken, the rescue library was never created after missing library or change in lib.
This was due to the fact the symbol name inside the cache is broken, since commit a5844c9,
because all illegal chars in symbol name are replaced by '_'.
Unfortunately, in library cache, the ':' (illegal in usual libraries) is used to build the cached symbol name.
so in lib cache, symbol names were broken, making this lib useless.
this fix allows the ':' char in symbol name in lib.

The hotkey fix committed in 53b1ec81 broke non-us keyboards. Change the
hotkey help hotkey from '?' to Ctrl+F1 to prevent the hotkey list dialog
from being shown when placing a bus wire junction in Eeschema and when
changing the track posture in Pcbnew. This is still broken in the GAL
framework.
When updating toolbars make sure the events are coming from the
toolbar in question (and not the menus which share the same ID).

Symbol/footprint library and entry have the same set of forbidden
characters with a single exception, space character. To accommodate for
this difference, LIB_ID validation and fix methods have been extended to
specify the LIB_ID type that is checked (schematic/board).
LIB_ID::HasIllegalChars() and LIB_ID::FixIllegalChars() had two different
sets of characters treated as invalid in LIB_IDs. The set has been
factored out to another function to avoid duplication.
Nets assigned by power pins are weak, meaning they are valid
as long as there is nothing else attached to such pins. This patch
checks whether there are other wires or pins attached to a power pin
before placing a global net label.

Each named power input pin in Eagle creates an implicit connection to a
net with the name of the pin (e.g. GND, VCC). It is also done for the
units (gates in Eagle nomenclature) that have not been instantiated in
the schematics.
To emulate this behaviour in KiCad:
- Placed components are checked for power input pins, so they will have
global net labels attached to create the described implicit connections.
- As the components are placed, the remaining units of the symbol are
checked for power inputs to see if they need to be instantiated together
with global net labels.

Field Editor dialog calls LIB_EDIT::SetFields() that deletes the old
LIB_FIELD objects and creates new ones. If any of the old LIB_FIELD
objects had been selected before invoking the dialog, then one of the
update UI event handlers will crash trying to access the object.
This is due to the fact the same ID was used for menuitems in menubar,
and tools in toobars.
Especially, some items were not compatible due to different attributes.
Windows does not accept the same ID for 2 items inside the same frame.
It creates issues (items not shown, Asserts, ...)
Renaming a subsheet but keeping the filename should not present a
warning to the user. The was triggered due to comparing a

Eagle support net labels that are naming wires not directly connected to
the labels. In KiCad it is not possible, therefore such detached net
labels need to be moved, so they touch the corresponding wire.
The initial algorithm did not take into account that a moved net label
might be placed on a wire crossing, effectively shorting two nets. This
commit improves the placement algorithm by avoiding the wire crossing
points when placing a label.

While we already cache the loaded footprint files, parsing said files
into the list is also time-intensive. Since the FOOTPRINT_LIST is
already hash-stamped against the current timestamps of the files that
make up the list, sharing a single copy of the list is quite
straight-forward.
With hash character starting the reference value, schematic components
are considered as virtual and therefore netlist updater do not warn about
an unsigned footprint anymore. This approach is useful to handle logos,
frames or other virtual Eagle components.

ngSpice frequently ends up a simulation with an error:
"Error: ngspice.dll cannot recover and awaits to be detached"
The only way forward is to reload the shared library and
reinitialize ngSpice.

Schematic components have illegal characters replaced during load,
leading to broken component-symbol links. To avoid this, library symbols
should have their names fixed in the same way.

Duplicate is handled like move/drag but shouldn't mark the original
