The symbol editor selection criteria did not include LIB_FIELD objects
which allowed the root symbol name to be changed causing broken derived
symbol links. Disable the symbols fields from being edited when a
derived part is shown in the editor to prevent this.
Add a missing warning that deleting a root symbol used to derive other
symbols would also delete all derived symbols from a library. Give the
user a chance to cancel the delete operation in this case.
Fixes kicad/code/kicad#3654
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.
1) don't ASSERT; use exceptions (which can be caught) instead.
2) clean up LIB_LOGGER so it's only used during sync
3) fix typos in wxLogMessage() calls so they produce output.
4) throw on unrecognized token in loadContent().
5) if clipboard can't be pasted as content then paste as text.

Replace also in lib_manager.cpp some DisplayErrorMessage calls by wxLogMessage calls,
to avoid hanging or crashes, at least on Windows.
wxLogMessage also has the advantage of grouping all messages and displaying them during a idle time.
A bug in LIB_MANAGER::LibraryExists() prevented a library removed from
the symbol library table from being removed from the tree view. Add the
proper check to SYMBOL_TREE_SYNCHRONIZING_ADAPTER::Sync().
This exposed another issue with synchronization between the library
table editor and the tree view which could lead to orphaned library
modifications and/or a segfault when the currently selected library was
removed from the symbol library table. Give the user a chance to save
or revert any changes before allowing changes to the symbol library
table.
