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.
Use justification instead of orientation relative to the anchor point when
describing text direction and alignment. This seems to be the preferred
method by most users so hopefully this will eliminate some confusion.
Fix a bug in the s-expression schematic parser that failed to take into
account how graphical text alignment is defined for graphic text objects
compared to label text objects.

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.
Junctions should only be wire endings when ending directly on the wire.
This is the requirement for netlisting, so we need to follow it in the
auto-end as well.
SCH_LABEL needs to allow ending because any wire that touches the label
will be connected, so there's a use case for this. However, the
bounding box for local labels did not include their connection point, so
we increase that box a bit. Note that this might have the opposite
effect to https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/-/issues/7689

CHANGED: If you set the auto-increment value to a negative number,
created a net label and hit the insert key, when the name got below zero,
the net labels tried to go negative but created bad labels instead.
Now the code caps decrementing at zero, warns users when it has
happened, and explains why.

Rotate text using the Rotate90() function which gets the orientation
right.
Also, when calculating the center point for rotation, don't include
labels if the selection contains other stuff. It just makes the
rotation odd, and tends to cause walking when continuing to rotate
(due to keep-upright being non-symmetrical).

1) Generalize SCH_ITEM owners (SCH_COMPONENT, SCH_SHEET, and now
SCH_GLOBALLABEL)
2) Generalize hypertext items
3) Use SCH_FIELD autoplace infrastructure for placing intersheet
references
4) Use textVar infrastructure for buildin intersheet references.
As an important side-effect this also fixes the undo issues with
intersheet refs.
