The simulator has advanced considerably, and it is seeing lots of active
development, so make it a required part of KiCad. Additionally, the
build without the simulator has actually been broken for a while, so no
one clearly is building without ngspice right now.
Also improves some terminology for english-speakers.
Also substitues [] vector access (which creates empty elements) over
at() (which throws if the item is not found).
Also adds simulation model inference to Symbol Editor's Simulation Model
Editor, and adds write-back from both Simulation Model Editors to their
parent Symbol Fields Editor dialogs.

There is no technical reason for this restriction for non-power symbols, so let's remove it.
This will allow more flexibility and compatibility with other tools.

Rewrite the spice exporter to work with the new simulation model
architecture and data model, with many bugfixes related to the latter
two along the way.
This commit adds parameter display functionality, via a wxPropertyGrid
widget, to the Sim Model Editor. To faciliate that, a SIM_VALUE class is
created to serialize, deserialize, and validate numeric values in the
new parameter grid.
SPICE_MODEL is renamed to SIM_MODEL and split into several subclasses
that correspond to different model kinds.
Also make sure that value field is updated from name changes when the
symbol is a power symbol (even if it's from the schematic instead of
the library).

Removes the ability to hide symbol units in file formats. This was
mostly the case for a while but there remained corner cases where we
left a default/hidden option

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.
It's tempting to say that we don't need to exclude filename chars
from symbols, but we might regret that decision down the road. Better
to just escape them.

1) Don't reset value when name changes
2) Don't fire events when initialising dialog
3) Make sure when symbol is saved back to schematic that only current
instance has its ref updated, but that all instances have their other
fields updated.
4) When saving symbol back to board always use the fields from the
editor and not the (alias-specific) ones from the library.

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.
