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.
It's tempting to say that we don't need to exclude filename chars
from symbols, but we might regret that decision down the road. Better
to just escape them.

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.
This fix required sorting all of the LIB_PART draw items to ensure
accurate comparison between the symbols stored in the schematic and the
original library symbols. This has a noticeable impact on symbol library
load performance. It may also cause significant changes the next time
the library is saved due to changes in the draw item sorting. Hashing
may be a better solution here but this addressed the immediate problem.
A skeleton method SCH_SCREEN::SwapSymbolLinks() was added because there
is most likely an issue with orphaned symbols in the schematic library
symbol cache during undo/redo operations. More testing is required to
verify this.

ADDED Update Symbol from Library and Change Symbol can now specify
whether or not to update attributes (include in BOM and include on
board).

In particular, there was a typo that kept library values from being
updated, and there was missing logic to fetch the various field names
from the library parts (and the change-to part).
Also implements some performance gains by desisting from copying
LIB_FIELDs around every time we want to look at them.

Fixes https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/issues/6749
Also makes sure that the instance fields get set for reference, value
and footprint, and not just the base SCH_FIELD.
Also makes the translations easier.
