This fixes multiple issues when importing Eagle V6 files.
Crashes occured when arcs of 0-length were found and when parts were
referenced in the schematic that were not found in the library. This
could happen if the library and schematic were different cases.

(cherry picked from commit 0e5cc54ec9)
KiCad does not allow references to be numeric only. This prefixes such
references with "UNK" to note that the reference designator type is
unknown.
(cherry picked from commit a62a89eac3)
The '/' and ':' are reserved and cannot be used in symbol or footprint
names. They will cause the LIB_ID parser and formatter to fail. While
it seems like they should be legal in symbol alias names, they will
trigger a symbol rescue the next time the schematic is loaded.
Use ID_SCH as in the Eagle schematic plugin rather than ID_ALIAS to
ensure symbol names do not need rescued the next time the schematic is
opened.
Remove ID_ALIAS since the rules for alias names are the same as the
rules for symbol names. Otherwise, allowing '/' and ':' in alias names
will force a symbol rescue on the next schematic load.

Even though slash is a valid character in symbol names, it is a revision
separator, but is not the case with Eagle symbol names.

Eagle files that are edited may be missing required data. While we do
not need to handle these files, we do need to prevent segfaults in KiCad
when reading them.
Eagle allows for variants of components to be listed in the schematic.
This patch copies the variant data into the imported schematic item,
prefixing the alternate variant names with "VARIANT_" and keeping the
alternate values.
When parsing component names, we need to account for the possibility of
illegal characters (e.g. "/", ":") in the names from v4 libraries. They
are fixed internally by the cache parser but if we don't fix them
in the rescue routine, the symbol won't match it's cache name.
This standardizes all schematic illegal character routines into LIB_ID
Fixes: lp:1774774

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
checks whether there are other wires or pins attached to a power pin
before placing a global net label.
Fixes: lp:1755191
* https://bugs.launchpad.net/kicad/+bug/1755191
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.

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.

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.
Fixes: lp:1756281

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.
Extra labels to preserve eagle named nets feature are now placed at the
end of a wire segment instead of the middle of a wire. Prevents a label
being placed on crossing wires that are not connected by a junction
resulting in an incorrent netlist.
The previous implementation relied only on the project name. When it is
set, the imported library was named '-eagle-import'. Now it tries
the project name and then the file name, using 'noname-eagle-import'
as fallback.
The library name is stored in the plugin to avoid changing the library
name after the project name has been set.
Change the legacy schematic plugin to preserve illegal LIB_ID characters
when load schematics prior to version 4.
Check for illegal LIB_ID symbol names during project rescue. Rename and
rescue any symbols with illegal LIB_ID names.
Add static methods to LIB_ID object for testing for and fixing names
with illegal characters so there is uniform code for doing so.
Update the Eagle plugin symbol loader to fix symbol names using the new
LIB_ID fix illegal names method.

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.
KiCad library symbol text objects cannot contain carriage returns and/or
line feeds which isn't the case with Eagle symbol libraries. Otherwise,
the library file will be corrupt when it is saved. Fixing this in the
legacy plugin would break the current file format so just replace them
with underscores. Ideally these text objects should be broken into
multiple text objects but the current plugin design doesn't support
this.
