Sub-libraries allow a single-level hierarchy inside a symbol library.
This is useful for database libraries and for supporting other EDA library types where a
single file can contain multiple logical groupings of symbols.
Allows placing parts from an external database that reference symbols from another loaded library.
Includes:
- nanodbc wrapper
- database schematic library plugin
- basic tests

The commit bumps the schematic file format version in order to fix the
initial symbol default instance data to the first instance of each symbol.
It also sets the initial instance data to undefined in the SCH_SYMBOL
ctor so on the first schematic save, the default instance will be set
to the first instance of the symbol.

The legacy and s-expression (prior to version 20200828) file formats only
supported symbol unit and reference fields so the newly added value and
footprint fields must be updated from the original symbol fields.

The fractional part of Altium schematic units is an integer number of
1/10000 mil segments, which is 2.54 nm. The internal unit of eeschema
is 10 nm, so each fractional unit in Altium is 0.254 base eeschema
units. To be consistent with
cf33cfcad1
we round to the nearest 10nm for each element

The original decision to escape the legacy symbol library names results
in them being escaped every time they are opened which cause the curly
braces '}' from the original escaping to be escaped on subsequent
openings. This resulted in the symbol library names in the rescue
library not matching the library ID in the schematic.
This fix is likely to have other corner case bugs given the potential
for escaped characters in legacy symbol libraries. Given that we now
have escaped rescue libraries in play, removing the escaping will only
result in more issues so we will have to fix the corner cases as we go.

Prior to fixing the schematic file change churn do to instance data
changing to the last selected sheet instance, the symbol instance data
was set rather than empty. This change allows for users to set the
default instance data which is used for every new instance of the
schematic.
ADDED: Default schematic symbol instance data (unit and reference, value,
and footprint fields) can be set to be used as the default settings
for all new instances of the schematic.

In symbols, a polyline descr is already a true polyline / polygon descr.
In schematic, a polyline descr was restricted to only 2 points (a line).
A true polyline / polygon descr is now allowed in schematic that support already
polygons.
For compatibility reason, a 2 points polygon (SCH_SHAPE) is converted to a SCH_LINE.
