The illegal white space testing for reference and value (library editor
only) fields are adequate to ensure the user cannot enter invalid white
space characters. Leading and/or trailing white space should not be an
issue for field storage in the schematic file as they are quoted. Rather
than silently removing the leading and/or trailing white space which is
frowned upon, let the user fix it.

The symbol library header was setting the text thickness using the
last line thickness setting which is incorrect so use the default
thickness when creating new text objects.

The footprint library cache handler would throw an exception on the
first error it encountered preventing all subsequent footprint files
from being parsed even if there was nothing wrong with them. This
commit queues errors until all of the footprint files in the folder
have been parsed.

When attempting to read a pcad file exported from Altium, kicad was
segfaulting because it was trying to access an empty array. This patch
fixes that.
The reason the array was empty was the the board outline in the pcad
file was composed of only arcs and the plugin only processes lines in
the board outline. Adding this functionality is for another patch I
suppose.

The rotate hotkey was rotating individual items when a block was selected
which is invalid behavior. Add check for block mode and disable rotating
items when block mode is active.

- Put the output generation steps (annotation through pcbnew) in the
correct order as expected by the user running through them.
- Add a Plot button to match pcbnew
It is unusual to fix an incompatibility with later versions, but it is due to a bug existing in this version,
and this is especially important for footprint files.
The footprint editor was displaying the default solder mask clearance
defined by the temporary BOARD object created a start up. Change the
temporary BOARD default solder mask to 0 so the pad or footprint solder
mask clearance setting is displayed when editing the footprint.

PNS has its own data model with pointers to the BOARD members. If the
tool is active and pointers become stale, pcbnew crashes.
Currently there is a workaround that deactivates the current tool when a
dialog opens. This is the way it is done in the legacy canvas as well.

Define empty string variable KICAD_BRANCH_NAME that can be used as an
optional version string element. When git is used to build the version
string, this variable is set to the git branch name. It can also be
defined at configuration time as an optional string appended to the
$KICAD_VERSION variable.
Define empty string variable KICAD_VERSION_EXTRA that can be set by
the user at configuration.
The variables KICAD_BRANCH_NAME and KICAD_VERSION_EXTRA are only
appended to KICAD_VERSION if they are set. Otherwise, only KICAD_VERSION
is uses as the version string.
Update the developer building from source document to reflect the changes.
On Windows, previously, Pcbnew try to set env vars PYTHONPATH, if <kicad>/bin/python27_us folder is found.
Now, if python.exe is found in kicad bin folder (therefore if our python executable and libs are
installed in Kicad), PYTHONPATH and PYTHONHOME are set to an empty string.
( the default python path work fine with our standard python install )
