CHANGED: Derived library symbols will inherit optional fields defined by
their parent symbol and override existing optional fields.
CHANGED: The symbol editor will now only display the fields defined in
derived symbols rather than show mandatory fields inherited from the
parent symbol. Showing fields that cannot be edited would be confusing.
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.
It looks good, but non-mandatory fields have an ID of -1, so it
doesn't actually work. Some places got around this by converting
the ID to unsigned, but this just hides the real issue from
unsuspecting coders.

CHANGED: Settings are now stored in versioned sub-directories
ADDED: First-run dialog for migrating settings from a previous version
CHANGED: Settings are now stored as JSON files instead of wxConfig-style INI files
CHANGED: Color settings are now all stored in a separate settings file
CHANGED: The symbol editor and footprint editor now have their own settings files
CHANGED: Color settings are no longer exposed through BOARD object
CHANGED: Page layout editor now uses Eeschema's color scheme
Settings are now managed through a central SETTINGS_MANAGER held by PGM_BASE.
Existing settings will be migrated from the wxConfig format on first run of each application.
Per-application settings are now stored in one class for each application.
When opening the symbol editor without loading the schematic editor the
default text size setting is not loaded and was defaulting to the old mils
setting. Convert the default text size to internal units in case the
symbol editor is launched first.
Set default line, bus, and selection highlight width to internal units.
Change new symbol dialog pin position offset control from a spin control
to a text control so the unit binder object can handle converting to and
from internal units.

* Split up the thirdparty code into the thirdparty folder (#3637)
* Create a new kimath static library containing all the math functions
This is part of cleaning the build system for #1906.
There is no need to create a new root symbol and re-parent all derived
symbols when renaming a root symbol. Just rename the buffered root
symbol.
Test for duplicate symbol names when validating the properties dialog
information to prevent broken symbol pointers.
Fix a field drawing bug when editing derived symbols.
Fix bug to insure duplicate symbol names cannot exist in a library.

Fixes kicad/code/kicad#3672
The library manager update part function was orphaning the root symbol
of derived symbols when the root symbol was edited. Re-parent the
inherited symbols when updating a root symbol.
Update the mandatory field attributes whenever the parent is set for
derived parts. This will show the fields with the correct attributes
in the symbol editor and viewer.
Using std::unique_ptr to hold the current symbols was deleting the
pointer on symbol selection changes causing the pointer in the library
manager buffer to be stale in some cases. Revert back to using a
simple pointer and manual clean up as required.
Prevent derived symbols from being saved to a different library to
prevent orphaned symbols.
Fixes kicad/code/kicad#3649
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.
This only applies to the root symbol when the datasheet field is not
empty and the datasheet for root symbol alias in the document file is
empty. Use the root symbol datasheet field value when adding a new
symbol that meets this criteria.
The root symbol datasheet field gets copied to the root symbol alias
datasheet member variable so if the symbol is modified and saved, the
datasheet information is saved in the .dcm file.

Call base object TransferDataFromWindow() to prevent Validate() from
being called twice. Validation is handled completely under the hood
so there is no need to call Validate() directly.

In DIALOG_EDIT_COMPONENT_IN_SCHEMATIC, the Cancel button is
