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.

wxString::Format is redundant in a wxLogXXX call.
Error messages should generally be translatable.
Error messages should use generally consistent sentence forms.
This was leaking windows headers and partial wx headers to 1084 compilation units......
This also means math/util.h is leaking to 1084 compilation units which seems a bit high too.
In particular, there was a typo that kept library values from being
updated, and there was missing logic to fetch the various field names
from the library parts (and the change-to part).
Also implements some performance gains by desisting from copying
LIB_FIELDs around every time we want to look at them.

1) make sure we get the default netclass when we want it
2) escape for HTML (particularly important for "<invalid>", but also
for reporting user rule names, netclass names, etc.)
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.
When searching for fields, the code was sometimes comparing translated and not translated names.
This is an issue for mandatory fields, in non English languages.
Translated field names should be used only in messages.
Derived symbols were causing the symbol properties grid to assume that
the reference could not be edited because derived symbols inherit the
reference from the parent symbol. The flattened symbols in the schematic
still have the parent set which cause the issue. Clearing the parent of
the flattened symbol resolves the issue.
Fix a minor bug in the symbol information of derived symbols show in the
symbol chooser dialog.
Fixes#3723https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/issues/3723
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.
Change all of the component tree helper objects to use LIB_IDs instead of
LIB_ALIAS pointers. LIB_ALIAS pointers are dangerous to use because they
can be deleted in the symbol library editor while the component chooser
dialog has copies of them. With LIB_IDs, the LIB_ALIAS pointer is found
on demand and can be guaranteed to be valid.
Update the chooser dialog to load the symbol library table instead of the
libraries defined in the project file and return a LIB_ID instead of a
LIB_ALIAS pointer.
Modify SCH_BASE_FRAME::SelectComponentFromLibrary() to handle the LIB_IDs
returned from the component chooser dialog.
- In the listing, display alias names in italics
- In the info panel, display per-alias description correctly, as well as
root description
