In large designs with thousands of duplicate elements (e.g. power
symbols), we need to be smart about vector management. Removing all but
the first few items should be batched and not element at a time

A sheetpath is required to correctly resolve text variables.
Depending on currentSheet is rife with bugs.
There are many places where we do *not* want to be prepending
field names to the field values, such as netlisting,
building PDF hypertext menus, etc.
Also, Find/Replace needs to work on unresolved text, as
that's what we're going to display (and if replace nuked
your variable references you wouldn't be happy).
* Add check for valid symbol library link in annotation code to prevent
crash even if the symbol was not defined correctly. This will assert
in debug builds.
* Fix broken pin comparisons when library symbols have units with alternate
body style defined.
* Remove some macros from LIB_SYMBOL comparison function which made
debugging painful.
* Exit LIB_SYMBOL comparison function as soon as non-equivalent comparison
occurs.
* Fix broken library symbol comparison due to name differences when
checking for existing variants of the library symbol.
