It can be useful to have similar class messages grouped together so that
error messages in a larger report don't get lost among the
warning/info/action messages.
This patch allows sorting of messages for dialogs that benefit from
organization. Default behavior of reporter messages remains
unchanged by this patch.

1) Commit in-progress edits before closing preferences.
2) Handle default fields in Symbol Fields Editor.
3) Save state of checkboxes in Symbol Fields Editor.
The original algorithm picked the value from the last component having
non empty value for a given field, but the processing order was
dependent on the layout of the components in the memory. It means that
for each component, the field values could have been taken from any
unit, randomly.
The patch improves the algorithm, trying to get all values from the unit
with the lowest number and resorts to other units only when there are
field values left empty.
Unifies the different sections of hotkeys so that we are not storing two
[eeschema] or [pcbnew] sections in two different files.
Previous hotkey definitions are loaded at start if they exist but are
overwritten by the new format, if it exists. Changes to hotkeys save
only in the combined format.
Hotkey editor for each application only shows the hotkeys relevant to
that application.

This patch prevents fields with long text values from unreasonable
dialog resizing. It is basically commit f4eb63f8 applied to a
corresponding field editor dialog in the Symbol Editor.
Values generated by NETLIST_EXPORTER_PSPICE::GetSpiceFieldDefVal()
and the actual value that was stored in a netlist differed when a
component has multiple units.
Due to that, the Spice model editor dialog incorrectly recognized
"alternate node sequence" value as the default one and cleared it
when the dialog was closed.
Also changes Save Library and Save Library As to work off the
visible selection if there is one.
Also implements enablement for Save All Libraries.

With uninitialized COMPONENT_TREE::m_menuActive there were cases when
application logic erroneously decided to fetch the current library name

equivalent to no library loaded, therefore the save button appeared

Because the cache is broken, the rescue library was never created after missing library or change in lib.
This was due to the fact the symbol name inside the cache is broken, since commit a5844c9,
because all illegal chars in symbol name are replaced by '_'.
Unfortunately, in library cache, the ':' (illegal in usual libraries) is used to build the cached symbol name.
so in lib cache, symbol names were broken, making this lib useless.
this fix allows the ':' char in symbol name in lib.

Symbol/footprint library and entry have the same set of forbidden
characters with a single exception, space character. To accommodate for
this difference, LIB_ID validation and fix methods have been extended to
specify the LIB_ID type that is checked (schematic/board).
LIB_ID::HasIllegalChars() and LIB_ID::FixIllegalChars() had two different
sets of characters treated as invalid in LIB_IDs. The set has been
factored out to another function to avoid duplication.
Nets assigned by power pins are weak, meaning they are valid
as long as there is nothing else attached to such pins. This patch

before placing a global net label.

Each named power input pin in Eagle creates an implicit connection to a
net with the name of the pin (e.g. GND, VCC). It is also done for the
units (gates in Eagle nomenclature) that have not been instantiated in
the schematics.
To emulate this behaviour in KiCad:
- Placed components are checked for power input pins, so they will have
global net labels attached to create the described implicit connections.
- As the components are placed, the remaining units of the symbol are
checked for power inputs to see if they need to be instantiated together
with global net labels.

Field Editor dialog calls LIB_EDIT::SetFields() that deletes the old
LIB_FIELD objects and creates new ones. If any of the old LIB_FIELD
objects had been selected before invoking the dialog, then one of the
update UI event handlers will crash trying to access the object.
This is due to the fact the same ID was used for menuitems in menubar,
and tools in toobars.
Especially, some items were not compatible due to different attributes.
Windows does not accept the same ID for 2 items inside the same frame.

Eagle support net labels that are naming wires not directly connected to
the labels. In KiCad it is not possible, therefore such detached net
labels need to be moved, so they touch the corresponding wire.
The initial algorithm did not take into account that a moved net label
might be placed on a wire crossing, effectively shorting two nets. This
commit improves the placement algorithm by avoiding the wire crossing
points when placing a label.

While we already cache the loaded footprint files, parsing said files
into the list is also time-intensive. Since the FOOTPRINT_LIST is
already hash-stamped against the current timestamps of the files that
make up the list, sharing a single copy of the list is quite
straight-forward.
With hash character starting the reference value, schematic components
are considered as virtual and therefore netlist updater do not warn about
an unsigned footprint anymore. This approach is useful to handle logos,
frames or other virtual Eagle components.

For some reason, when calling python and giving a full filename script, the last separator in the filename
must be '/', not '\'.
Otherwise the import command inside the script does not find files to import in the same folder as the script.
We cannot replace blindly '\' to '/' in command line because it does not work for file on a server (name starting by \\server_name\).
So the fix is just replacing one '\' in python script full filename.
This is not perfect, but at least it works for newly created plugin commands.
Also adds indicators in layers palette for feedback.
Also generates sized images for all indicators instead of using
scaled bitmaps (which didn't look great).

Includes promoting the Pcbnew graphics mode back to main menu.
Includes renaming Graphics modes to Toolsets.
Currently, if a old label already containing a '/' (or a space) is edited, it is accepted,
but no new not allowed char can be added to the label.
(Previously, a sheet pin label was not filtered)
This also makes the dialog modeless so that one switch between
sheets while annotating to choose the base numbers for each
sheet (assuming they don't like the base number we pick because
of the order of the sheets).

Local net labels are preceded with sheetpath (even for single sheet
schematics it is '/') causing net name conflicts between schematics and
layout. It can be easily avoided by using exclusively global net
labels, at the cost having uglier schematics.
After Eagle project import, schematic and board netlists are inconsistent:
footprints do not have sheetpaths assigned, schematics are unannotated.
One can update netlist either by references or timestamps, but timestamps
are empty in pcbnew, and updating by reference must by preceded by
annotation which may lead to broken links between board and schematics
(Eagle does not require references to end with a number, so KiCad annotater
will add numbers in such cases).
To fix the problem, there is a two step netlist update:
- update by reference without the annotation step, to assign
correct sheetpaths to footprints
- update by timestamp, after symbols are annotated, in order to
update references in the board
