Particularly important on Mac where the menubar is disabled when the
frame is used in modal mode.
Also adds a display control to override the symbol's show pin numbers
setting.
Fixes https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/issues/7789
If a wire intersects more than 2 pins from the same symbol, we don't
trim connections. If the wire intersects exactly two pins from a single
symbol, we remove the wire between the pins.
We avoided doing this before because we didn't have a good metric for
trimming vs. not. But the per-symbol calculation feels like the least
surprising option.

(cherry picked from commit 75a4036e45)
Also fixes some plot bugs with arcs.
Also moves polygonization of arcs (when required) in plotting code
from 5 degrees to calculated based on ARC_HIGH_DEF.
Fixes https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/issues/5017
ADDED arc, circle and rectangle shapes for schematic. Shapes support
line styles and fill colors.
CHANGED sheet background color in Edit Text & Graphics Properties to
fill color (and it now affects shapes).
Pushed STROKE_PARAMS down into common and moved all shapes to using it
for stroke descriptions.
Bitmaps are now identified by an enum class instead of by pointers.
Bitmap loading and caching is now handled by a class in common, and
we no longer compile most bitmaps into the binary, so there is no
longer a bitmaps static library.
Instead, bitmaps are archived to a .tar.gz file which is installed
in ${KICAD_DATA}/resources/images.tar.gz
The source PNGs are checked in to Git as the original CPP files were,
so that people can build without the required dependencies to convert
SVGs to PNGs.
Initial support is also added for dark theme icons, although this
is not yet exposed in the GUI.
Stubs are present for multi-resolution image resources, but this is
not fully-baked yet and could use some refinement.
CHANGED: add corner and repeat last command now default to 'I' instead
of '<insert>' on Mac.
1) wxWidgets doesn't currently display the correct graphic in the menu
for the insert key
2) Mac laptops don't have an instert key
