Wayne Stambaugh 52078a4b1b Allow setting mandatory derived symbol field properties.
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.

Wayne Stambaugh e1900161a7 Eeschema: implement new symbol library file s-expression formatter.
CHANGES: Symbol library file format has been converted to s-expressions.

Add support code for picking apart symbols at some future junction that
will allow full inheritance conversion of existing symbol libraries.  For
now, symbols arranged by unit and body style numbers are nested for round
robin testing of symbol libraries once the parser is complete.

Wayne Stambaugh 54f066fed7 Implement simple inheritance for library symbols.
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.

John Beard 840e08fa78 QA eeschema: add some tests
This adds a few tests on:

* LIB_PART
* SCH_PIN
* SCH_SHEET
* SCH_SHEET_PATH

These tests exercise some of the basic code paths in these classes
and show some of the expected behaviours.

None of these tests are particularly ground-breaking, but they
provide a starting point to build out further tests, and to ensure
the already-covered behaviour is stable.

It does expose some places where SCH_SHEET could probably use const.
