For historical reasons, they are stored in mils, but using int create rounding
issues when converting to/from mils to IU in dialogs.
This is a minor but annoying issue.

- Keep original image data. When loading JPEG, this avoid recompression
that changes file data and decreases image quality
- Allow schematic and page layout editors to store non-PNG data as well
- Move page layout editor to store base64 instead of hex-coded data
- Move PLUGIN_FILE_DESC to common.
- SCH_PLUGIN: rename Load -> LoadSchematicFile, Save -> SaveSchematicFile.
- Use PLUGIN_FILE_DESC and CanRead* in schematic plugins.
- Return none/unknown types from Find/GuessPluginType functions.
- Iterate over file types for file wildcards.
- Clean-up header checking in IO plugins.
- Use PCB plugin list in IO_MGR::GuessPluginTypeFromLibPath.
Also simplifies the scoring algorithm so that it only
differentiates between exact-match, match-at-start and
any-match. The rest of the position-based matching
stuff is gone, as is the knowledge of the name vs the
keywords vs the description. All that is left to the
provider of the weighted search terms array.
This fix makes some fundamental changes to the way symbols are rescued:
* The new symbol library file format is used when rescuing symbols defined
in the symbol library table.
* The original library nickname is appended to the symbol name rather than
the rescue library nickname when rescuing symbol defined in the symbol
library table.
* Escaping strings has been removed from legacy library rescues since the
legacy library file format never supported it.

This change reverts the storage of all symbol instance data in the root
schematic. This was done because it's not possible to reuse instance
data when importing from sub-sheets.
There has been a fundamental change in how sheet paths are store in the
instance data. The root schematic UUID is always used when saving the
instance data. To prevent file churn, the virtual root sheet UUID is set
to the root schematic UUID when loading the project. This provides a way
to determine the project that stored the instance data. All uses of paths
without root sheet have been expunged from the code.
The sheet instance data is still saved only in the root sheet for the
time being. New sheet instances will be automatically assigned an page
number based on the incremental virtual sheet page number. Sheet page
numbers will not be imported.
Added project name to instance data to improve the readability of the
schematic file format. It also creates an opportunity to remove orphaned
instance data by project name rather than cryptic UUIDs.

This is mostly to output the aliases sorted (for ease of VCS integration),
but also because a btree will be faster than hashing on a small dataset.
Fixes https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/issues/11890
The legacy and s-expression (prior to version 20200828) file formats only
supported symbol unit and reference fields so the newly added value and
footprint fields must be updated from the original symbol fields.
Fixes https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/-/issues/12226
The original decision to escape the legacy symbol library names results
in them being escaped every time they are opened which cause the curly
braces '}' from the original escaping to be escaped on subsequent
openings. This resulted in the symbol library names in the rescue
library not matching the library ID in the schematic.
This fix is likely to have other corner case bugs given the potential
for escaped characters in legacy symbol libraries. Given that we now
have escaped rescue libraries in play, removing the escaping will only
result in more issues so we will have to fix the corner cases as we go.
