We only need to parse the libraries for the Sim Model Editor dialog
(so that we can determine the models to put in the popup). Doing it
for netlisting just opens us up to incorrectly parsing the SPICE, and
returns no value.
This also means that a SIM_LIB_MGR manages a single library, and
never multiple libraries.
This also allows the tidying-up of some error reporting structures to
better inform the user what went wrong.

In my previous commit, which changed Spice parsing errors to be more
descriptive, I forgot to apply this to all invocations of the Spice
parser. This commit corrects that.
- Fix parsing .model lines with model names containingnon-alphanumeric
characters like - and _,
- Fix parsing libraries in which EOF is not preceded by a newline.

Unfortunately, Windows headers define a lot of macros for common words,
so we had to rename some enums to not collide.
We also fix some of the many bugs related to the new simulation
architecture and the Spice Model Editor dialog.
- 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.
