Follow-up after the KIBIS and KIBIS GUI merge requests.
- Move KIBIS from Pcbnew to Eeschema space,
- Make KIBIS obtain the Ku/Kd coefficients via the `SPICE_SIMULATOR` class instead of calling the `ngspice` executable via `system()`,
- Allow to toggle between differential and single-ended model in the GUI,
- Various GUI fixes and improvements.
Since EDA_TEXT is a base class, we can just force the child classes to pass the correct iu scaled size
ALLOW_BOLD_THICKNESS removed because it's a pre-custom font holdover
Allows placing parts from an external database that reference symbols from another loaded library.
Includes:
- nanodbc wrapper
- database schematic library plugin
- basic tests

Tested on msys2 which is the only place it would have been buggy
CMake seems to share the gdiplus linkage with the other dependencies automatically now
On msys2, this file (mainly a large amount of data) compiled in debug mode
crashes Eeschema at start (issue probably related to a memory issue).
On msys2, binaries built in debug are always *very* large
- Tab-switching,
- Automatic expansion of categories on tab-switch,
- Various minor simulation improvements,
- Various new simulation-related bugfixes.
Don't serialize parameters in certain models for default values. Infer
models from Value field for some kinds of models. Resolve synonyms when
loading models from Spice libraries.
Rewrite the spice exporter to work with the new simulation model
architecture and data model, with many bugfixes related to the latter
two along the way.
Implement parsing and loading Spice libraries into KiCad. This is done
without any involvement of Ngspice -- we create our own in-tree parser
using PEGTL -- because Ngspice doesn't offer any intermediate output we
could plug ourselves into. We don't parse everything -- just the library
content, so this won't be that much effort.
We implement some basic Spice code preview to give the user a hint what
Spice code eir model will correspond to.
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.
This commit adds parameter display functionality, via a wxPropertyGrid
widget, to the Sim Model Editor. To faciliate that, a SIM_VALUE class is
created to serialize, deserialize, and validate numeric values in the
new parameter grid.
SPICE_MODEL is renamed to SIM_MODEL and split into several subclasses
that correspond to different model kinds.
With that also begin reworking the internal structure of the simulation
model storage. Some models have parameter information extracted from
Ngspice, which was specially patched to faciliate that. The model is
stored and managed by the SPICE_MODEL class (later will be renamed to
SIM_MODEL).
Converts dialog_image_editor to panel_image_editor. Embeds this panel in
a new properties dialog for the schematic and PCB editors that allows
editing position, layer, locked status, etc. like other items.
Thread pools are long-lasting executors that have close to zero overhead
when launching new jobs. This is advantageous over creating new threads
as we can use this for threading smalling jobs and smaller quanta. It
also avoids the heuristics needed to determine the optimal number of
threads to spawn
SIMULATOR has now an Attach() method, which should be called
with proper SIMULATION_MODEL that should be simulated, before calling Run()
Concrete class of SIMULATION_MODEL for ngspice is NGSPICE_CIRCUIT_MODEL,
renamed from NETLIST_EXPORTER_PSPICE_SIM. DIALOG_SIM_SETTINGS relies
on above mentioned object, so it was added as an argument of the constructor.
Also makes sure the progress dialog is closed when we're done reading
symbols (it used to stay up for much of the symbol editor initialization).
Also makes sure that any cancel in the preLoad step is honoured in the
sync step. (The preload is done because it is multi-threaded and therefore
faster than the single-threaded sync.)
Also makes sure that individual threads pay attention to the cancellation,
not just the GUI thread.

ADDED: with cmake KICAD_MACOSX_APP_BUNDLE option the user can disable
the macOS app bundle creation when compiling on macOS. This permit to
use/install KiCad like any other *nix platform (/usr/bin, /usr/share,
ecc.). By default, cmake build the app bundle.
Also fixes some plot bugs with arcs.
Also moves polygonization of arcs (when required) in plotting code
from 5 degrees to calculated based on ARC_HIGH_DEF.
Fixes https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/issues/5017
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.
We require API compatibility in the ngspice library because we
dynamically load the library and assign function pointers to specific
names/signatures. This should be consistent for all versions of the the
library until the soversion changes.

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.
This makes it easier to find all of the dialog code, has less files to
compile, and makes it easier to see the redundant code that could be
refactored.
ADDED Paste Special... action in pcbnew
CHANGED Additional options for Paste Special... in eeschema, including
"Assign unique reference designators to pasted instance"
