Change the behavior of the remapping algorithm to remap even if a
project symbol library table exists in the project file in case a
previous attempt to remap failed. The existing symbol library table
is backed up to the back folder and rebuilt.

Create separate folder in project path to backup files changed during
remapping.
Add time stamp to backup file names in case multiple remappings are
performed.
Add backup file information to report panel instead of using debug
trace messages.
Disable the remap button if the user does not have write privileges to
the current project path.
The remapping utility would create a new project specific library when a
symbolic link pointed to a library already defined in the symbol library
table. Now the comparison checks to see if the library path and file
name are actually a symbolic link if the file names are not the same when
the symbol library table entry is a file name rather than a URL. URLs
are simple string comparisons.
Disable the remap button after the remapping completed.
Remove some commented out code from the edit symbol in schematic dialog.

Don't back up schematic files unless the user requests a remap.
Back up all files that could be changed by a remap including the
schematic file(s), cache library, project file, and rescue library
files.
Use an HTML control instead of a static text control for improved layout
of the user remap prompt.
Improve the user prompt in the remap dialog to make it clear that changes
will be made to project files.
Remove all symbol libraries from the project file after remapping to
prevent symbols that should be loaded from the cache being loaded from
a library further up the search order. Save the project file to clear
all of the libraries so they never get reloaded again.
Remove the symbol library management dialog and menu entries.
Rename the symbol library table dialog menu entry.
Remove all symbol libraries from default project file to prevent clashes
with the cache library.
Fix illegal symbol naming in Eagle plugin.
Create dialog and code to allow legacy schematic symbols to be remapped
from the old library path look up method to the new symbol library table
method by using the following steps:
1) Create a project symbol library table containing all of the symbol
libraries defined in the old library look up list not found in the
global symbol library table.
2) Map each symbol to the correct symbol in the symbol library table
if possible.
Recreate library link to symbols so look up method can be converted to
symbol library table properly.
Add function to SCH_COMPONENT to link library symbols using the symbol
library table.
