Original architecture was to pass KICAD_T in to specify what kind of
object you wanted. That didn't work well with things like cursor
shape so it was moved to setting booleans based on the ACTION. When
I cleared out the old KICAD_T stuff I missed one case where it was
still used. That is now corrected as well.

1) Generalize SCH_ITEM owners (SCH_COMPONENT, SCH_SHEET, and now
SCH_GLOBALLABEL)
2) Generalize hypertext items
3) Use SCH_FIELD autoplace infrastructure for placing intersheet
references
4) Use textVar infrastructure for buildin intersheet references.
As an important side-effect this also fixes the undo issues with
intersheet refs.
It was causing problems with surprising behaviour and issues with
allowing spaces in existing labels. We'll work on something better
for 7.0....

You can now enable and disable snap to grid when drawing/editing across
all apps. You can also tie snap to grid to the visibility of the grid
to allow rapid enable/disable via grid display.
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.
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.
SCH_SHEET objects can only have another SCH_SHEET object as a parent
or nullptr for the root sheet so overload EDA_ITEM::SetParent() to
prevent the parent from being set to another type of object and add
some checks to the root sheet code just in case someone gets clever
and attempts to bypass the overloaded SetParent() call.
deselect the previously placed items.
Otherwise, the changes (rotation, mirroring...) made during placing the current symbol
are applied to other previously placed items.
This is obviously not what is wanted, and creates crashes in Eeschema.

ADD: User can now decide to keep the hierarchy navigator open while working
on a schematic.
This behavior can be configured in eeschema->preferences->eeschema->Editing options.
When placing a new component in the schematic, this allows the user to
iterate through all units in the selected component without re-opening
the choose part dialog. It also allows the optional addition of
multiple copies of the same component to be placed in the schematic.

The problem is that wxEVT_CHAR_HOOK doesn’t do the key translation
properly. wxEVT_CHAR does, but we only get to that if we skip the
event at the end of the tool’s event processing loop, which most tools
don’t do. (Selection tools, point editors, pickers, and a couple of
others do skip, which is probably why this didn’t get reported earlier.)
I played around with a couple of ways to fix wxEVT_CHAR_HOOK. Most of
them don’t work, and the few egregious hacks I tried weren't cross-
platform.
So I’m changing it so that most tools now skip at the end of their
event loops. I left out a couple that I felt were high risk (length
tuning, for instance). But there’s still enough risk that I’m 100%
sure it will break something, I just haven’t a clue what.

Includes the addition of an onSetCursor() handler which must be called
from both the GAL canvas AND the GAL backend (at least on OSX) to prevent
cursor flickering between (for instance) pencil and arrow.
Also includes new architecture for point editors which allows them to
coordiate cursors with the editing tools (so we can switch to an arrow
when over a point).
We were running into various corner conditions where a tool's event
loop would exit while the tool was still active, or the tool would
get popped while we were still in the event loop. (A lot of these
had to do with the POINT_EDITOR's, but not all of them.)
The new architecture:
1) tools always do a Push()/Pop()
2) everyone is responsible for their own pops; no more stack-clearing
on a cancel
3) CancelInteractive events go to all tools to facilitate (2)
This adds the functionality to add multiple labels to your schematic at
once by using spaces in the original label name.

It's a bit of a hack because they're statically initialized and
so we can't make use of the _() macro. We do still want it in the
code, however, because the string harvesting is based off of it.

Otherwise we set item from nullptr back to the selection, and then
we think we're dragging again which causes all kinds of grief.
