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.
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.
For some kinds of issues, we want a way to point them out but
we don't need to keep the user from being able to close the
dialog. A separate Validate button lets the user check for
issues if desired, but these issues are not "fatal" and can
be ignored if the user wishes.
Short net names are not unique; full names with paths must be used.
Added a grid cell renderer that does the escaping, to make it easier
to display net names in grid cells.
Once you unescape a net name, you can't go back to the escaped form
because you can't assume which `/` should be {slash} and which `/`
Because of this, we cannot use Unescape/Escape on the data model in
the netclass setup panel, and instead do the Unescape in the view.

The old way of checking for focus loss caused GTK to be unable to
even open the combobox. This way checks for the event sent when the
list closes and uses that to close the grid editor.

ADDED Eeschema-specific netclass settings including wire and bus
thickness, color, and line style.
Netclasses override individual wire & bus colors and line styles.
If that proves an issue we might look at something more sophisticated
with inheritance.
