They don't define a KiCad string class, so the header file name was
somewhat misleading. But the fact that they didn't match definitely
made coding more difficult.
When doing a schematic cleanup, for instance, we were breaking wires
and pushing undo records on to the stack. Needless to say, this was
pretty unexpected for the rest of the undo framework and caused all
kinds of mayhem (including crashes in some cases).

Undo does some fairly major redraws (including setting the current
screen), all of which drop the selection and cancel interactive tools.
Make sure the selection is re-built *after* all those run.

The only subtle difference is that Duplicate() does not modify the
clipboard contents so we need to keep a local variable in which to
store the result of a Copy()
ADDED Paste Special... action in pcbnew
CHANGED Additional options for Paste Special... in eeschema, including
"Assign unique reference designators to pasted instance"
Duplicates are reannotated on paste in the same way in pcbnew and
eeschema such that when copying and pasting the same block in the
pcb and schematic, the reference designators will match.
Save sheet and symbol instance information to the clipboard on copy
Load sheet and symbol instance information from the clipboard on paste
and renumber page numbers after loading.
Correctly handle pasting in a multiple hierarchy by ensuring symbol and
sheet instances are updated for all instances of the destination sheet.

Copy to clipboard save items (using S expr description) using wide strings
(not UTF8 encoding).
But Paste from clipboard was not converting the wide string to UTF8 string
when getting the stored data to send it as std::string to the S expr reader.
Fixes#6449https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/issues/6449
1) Generalize SCH_ITEM owners (SCH_COMPONENT, SCH_SHEET, and now
SCH_GLOBALLABEL)
2) Generalize hypertext items
3) Use SCH_FIELD autoplace infrastructure for placing intersheet
references
4) Use textVar infrastructure for buildin intersheet references.
As an important side-effect this also fixes the undo issues with
intersheet refs.
