CHANGED: Settings are now stored as JSON files instead of wxConfig-style INI files
CHANGED: Color settings are now all stored in a separate settings file
CHANGED: The symbol editor and footprint editor now have their own settings files

Settings are now managed through a central SETTINGS_MANAGER held by PGM_BASE.
Existing settings will be migrated from the wxConfig format on first run of each application.
Per-application settings are now stored in one class for each application.
When searching for fields, the code was sometimes comparing translated and not translated names.
This is an issue for mandatory fields, in non English languages.
Translated field names should be used only in messages.
The immediate action option clears (or not) the position of the events.
We use this to determine if the command should start at the given
position or merely activate the tool. This was being checked in the
menu options, which only activated for tool commands in the context
menu. Moving to the process event, we catch hotkeys as well.
This also restores the previous logic in eeschema that used a static
variable for storing wires rather than the private class variable.
Starting the draw event now picks up from the existing wires when
activated in immediate mode.

NET_CONNECTION, NETLIST_ITEM, GRAPHIC_PINSHAPE
Note, the pin type enum had PT_ added to the front to prevent
shadowing of the INPUT symbol on msys2 (see discussion at

dynamic_cast could not resolve the cast chain leading to a null undo
point. Since we know the item to be LIB_ITEM, we can use static_cast
anyway and avoid the overhead.

This also removes vector cover types which do nothing except obfuscate
the underlying implementation.
Mainly changes SCH_SHEET_PINS and CONFIG_PARAM_ARRAY (which will soon
be replaced by Jon's new stuff).
* Ensure the lib edit undo checks for pointer validity
* Assert that the frames are the correct type (satisfies coverity)

RIP DLIST 2008-2020
This moves EESchema DLIST structures to rtree. These changes are more
fundamental than the pcbnew changes from 9163ac543888c01d11d1877d7c1
and 961b22d60 as eeschema operations were more dependent on passing
drawing list references around with SCH_ITEM* objects.
For legacy reasons, it stored left and right "spin" as flipped integers in the file format.
But the code handled the flip in multiple locations rather than just doing it on file io.
This change unifies the internal code and does the mapping in the file I/O.
* Split up the thirdparty code into the thirdparty folder (#3637)
* Create a new kimath static library containing all the math functions
This is part of cleaning the build system for #1906.
ADD: User can now decide to keep the hierarchy navigator open while working
on a schematic.
This behavior can be configured in eeschema->preferences->eeschema->Editing options.
When dragging we'll create new line segments between selection-edge
objects and things outside the selection that they're attached to.
These new lines have their IS_NEW flags set, but shouldn't fool us
into thinking that the selection contains pasted (or placed) items.
ADDED: a config option to select (when clicking on a pin) the parent symbol
or only the pin.
Previously, when cliking on a pin, the parent symbol was selected.
Allowing the pin selection is mandatory in cross probing, and to display the pin
characteristics in some cases, for instance if a pin is flagged by the ERC tooL.
There is no need to create a new root symbol and re-parent all derived
symbols when renaming a root symbol. Just rename the buffered root
symbol.
Test for duplicate symbol names when validating the properties dialog
information to prevent broken symbol pointers.
Fix a field drawing bug when editing derived symbols.
Fix bug to insure duplicate symbol names cannot exist in a library.

Apparently the schematic and symbol library editors now have common
selection filtering so checking for a valid LIB_EDIT_FRAME when
filtering for the schematic editor frame prevented all schematic
object from being selected.
The symbol editor selection criteria did not include LIB_FIELD objects
which allowed the root symbol name to be changed causing broken derived
symbol links. Disable the symbols fields from being edited when a
derived part is shown in the editor to prevent this.
Add a missing warning that deleting a root symbol used to derive other
symbols would also delete all derived symbols from a library. Give the
user a chance to cancel the delete operation in this case.
Fixes kicad/code/kicad#3654
Don't clobber value file when load aliases in legacy symbol library cache
parser.
Use actual symbol library LIB_PART pointer rather than a flattened copy
of the symbol. This fixed a bug when displaying the parent field in the
message panel for derived symbols.
Simplify the flatten code by copying the parent and updating the lesser
information from the inherited symbol.
This change completely removes the LIB_ALIAS design pattern an replaces
it by allowing LIB_PART objects to inherit from other LIB_PART objects.
The initial implementation only allows for single inheritance and only
supports the mandatory fields in the derived part because that is all
that the current symbol library file format will support. Once the new
file format is implemented and saving to the old file format is deprecated,
more complex inheritance will be added. The LIB_ALIAS information saved
in the document files was move into the LIB_PART object. This change
impacts virtually every part of the schematic and symbol library editor
code so this commit message is woefully incomplete.
REMOVE: Removed the symbol aliases concept from the schematic and symbol
editors and the symbol viewer.
NEW: Replace the symbol alias concept with simple inheritance that allows
a library symbol to be derived from another library symbol.
When dragging a bus the entry is connected to the bus so the wire
connected to the entry (if any) needs to stretch.
While an entry can connect in the middle of bus, it cannot connect
in the middle of a wire.

Copy/Paste should keep the original items' designation for all units and
conversion type. If it was specified in the original copy, we should
keep the same specification when pasting (but update for the current
frame)
The new connectivity algorithm had a tendency to cleanup
globally, but that could insert undo records from other sheets
into the current screen's undo stack. Needless to say, this
was a recipie for segfaults.

Right click is a pointing operation combined with a request for the
context menu. We need to highlight the user's intended object when they
have moved their mouse to a new element instead of showing the context
menu for the selected object.
However, in cases where the selection is difficult to make, it is
sometimes helpful to select the item first, then right-click. In these
cases, we keep the selection where the mouse remains inside the selected
object's bounding box.
When placing a new component in the schematic, this allows the user to
iterate through all units in the selected component without re-opening
the choose part dialog. It also allows the optional addition of
multiple copies of the same component to be placed in the schematic.

Adding a field to a selection changes the bounding box and count for
rotation. This can cause odd offsets when the field is rotated against
the selection center rather than the bounding box as well as with the
component.

The problem is that wxEVT_CHAR_HOOK doesn’t do the key translation
properly. wxEVT_CHAR does, but we only get to that if we skip the
event at the end of the tool’s event processing loop, which most tools
don’t do. (Selection tools, point editors, pickers, and a couple of
others do skip, which is probably why this didn’t get reported earlier.)
I played around with a couple of ways to fix wxEVT_CHAR_HOOK. Most of
them don’t work, and the few egregious hacks I tried weren't cross-
platform.
So I’m changing it so that most tools now skip at the end of their
event loops. I left out a couple that I felt were high risk (length
tuning, for instance). But there’s still enough risk that I’m 100%
sure it will break something, I just haven’t a clue what.

The point editor expects rectangles with a height and width > 0.
Previously, this constraint did not exist,
so some LIB_RECTANGLE graphic items can create issues when trying to move a corner.
Now, the LIB_RECTANGLE graphic item is normalized before trying to move a corner.
Because the pickers are called with an Activate()/Wait() pair, any
usurping tool gets in between the picker handling the cancel (due
to activation) and the picker client doing a PopTool(). The new
tool is therefore pushed before the old tool is popped.
