Before the change, the plugins had to be installed to one of the default
search paths, but it should not be necessary for developers working on
3D viewer plugins.
This was the behavior before the factoring out of COMPONENT_TREE. Moving
the history at the top just required inserting it at the right point;
fixing preselect involved wxEVT_INIT_DIALOG not propagating to the
panel. Simple solution was to move the parts of that event handler to
the constructor as they didn't have to be in an event handler anyway.

Instead of keeping all items in a boost::ptr_vector(), LIB_ITEMs are now
stored in an integer (KICAD_T) to LIB_ITEMS map.
The map allows to quickly access a subset of items of given type.
As the items are stored per type, there is no need to call
LIB_ITEMS::sort() to assure the correct drawing order. As a result,
libraries load faster.
To retain the old interface, there is a LIB_ITEMS_LIST wrapper for
the map, allowing the developers to access the items as if it was a flat
list-like structure.
Create a new dialog to edit global and project specific symbol library
tables.
Add menu entries for new symbol library table editor in schematic editor
and symbol library editor main frame menus.
Add command event handler for symbol library table editor dialog to
SCH_BASE_FRAME so it is accessible from derived frames.
Fix bug in default environment variables initialization. A test for
existing user defined environment variables was preventing any new
default environment variables added to the list from being initialized.
The file filter wild card was defined incorrectly causing the file picker
to not display *.stp and *.step file extensions. Change the wildcard per
wxFileDialog documentation.
Prevent the file extension from being forced to .stp even when the user
defined a different extension in the file picker.
Override TransferDataFromWindow to test for file existence and warn user
only once if a file overwrite can occur.
Minor STEP export dialog string and layout improvements.
Make kicad2step honor user's file extension rather than always setting it
to .stp.
