Oh dear, there was a bunch going on here. Firstly the move from int
to long long int for ValueFromString() means that we were no longer
catching overflows (as we were C-style casting it back to int in many
places). But even when the overflow is caught, it would run in to
wxWidgets' empty string bug while trying to log it.

Also make sure that value field is updated from name changes when the
symbol is a power symbol (even if it's from the schematic instead of
the library).

For some reason, escaped double quotes in wxString::Format cause issues
on Mac. We can replace them with single quotes in most places without
loss of clarity
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.

Previously, they were being interpreted as inches, and then being
displayed as mils - leading to a multiplication by 1000 if there
was no unit string included.

CHANGED: All mandatory fields in derived symbols can be edited. This
not only includes the field value but also all text properties.
Kill the dual datasheet variable storage which caused many datasheet
bugs over the years. The datasheet is now always stored in the data
sheet field.
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.
