1) Add highlighting to simProbe and simTune tools.
2) Probe tool should accept wires and pins, not wires and components.
3) Give simulator window a flat look to match rest of Kicad.
4) Collapse whitespace out of simulator window.
5) Add some error messages.
6) Add some whitespace to simulation setting dialog.
Net names in eeschema that include '/' are escaped ('/' replaced by "{slash}")
Escaped netnames are only for internal use, and must be unescaped in spice netlist and dialogs.
Statically constructing wxCursors as used for the probe
and tune cursors crashes the qa_eagle_plugin test
instantly.
Fix this by introducing a new class CURSOR_STORE,
which allows to abstract the platform wierdness of wxCursors
and allow the simulator to laziliy init its own cursors
at runtime.
This code isn't properly tested, as these cursors are never
actually used. However, it does allow the eeschema unit test
to run.

Adds a link-time dependency for libngspice, so that other tools may
detect ngspice as a KiCad dependency.
The library is still loaded with dlopen() as it gives a way to reload it
in case of problems. The DLL name is recognized during CMake
configuration and used to load the library at runtime.
CanonicalizeName only adds the lib prefix and .so suffix, so loading
libngspice.so fails until the development package is installed.
MAC/Windows code paths lookup soversion 0 of ngspice as well, as this
is the only compatible version.
std::invalid_argument does not work fine with translated strings as argument for message.
(the translated message is incorrectly or not displayed if it contains non ascii8 chars, at least on Windows).
KI_PARAM_ERROR can be throw-ed with a translatable/translated string (a wxString)
Code fixing Spice device names (prefixing reference with a character
corresponding to the assigned device model type) that was duplicated in
a few places has been moved to a function (NETLIST_EXPORTER_PSPICE::GetSpiceDevice()).
The main purpose of the patch is to load libngspice from macOS bundle.
There are also some additional paths that could make Windows developers
easier.

ngSpice frequently ends up a simulation with an error:
"Error: ngspice.dll cannot recover and awaits to be detached"
The only way forward is to reload the shared library and
reinitialize ngSpice.

Also fixes:
- forcing the annotation scope to "full schematic" when run
as a prerequisite to Generate Netlist.
- a long-standing bug where displaying extra items in a dialog
would mess up the height of the HTML_REPORT_PANEL (becasue
we were setting the html window's height rather than its
parent flexgrid.
- initializing the annotation radio buttons to safe values
(full schematic and keep existing)

CHANGED: When a workbook file is saved from the simulation dialog
in eeschema, the extension is automatically added if it is not
specified. This behaviour is consistent with the workbook loading
dialog, which filters the filelist for only ".wbk" files with no
"all files" option.
SEARCH_STACK is a deprecated method for getting the list of paths where
one could look for a file. Instead it tries the project path and
environmental variables.
The GTK+ file dialog is case sensitive however it does support regular
expressions. Most of the file dialog wildcards are lower case so only
files with the lower case extensions will show up in the file dialog.
This code adds a method to convert file extensions of any case to the
appropriate (sch -> [sS][cC][hH]) regular expression on GTK+ builds so
all file extension case combinations will show up in the file dialog.
A note to developers: make sure to add a file extension when setting
when setting the default file argument. If you do don't set an
extension, the GTK+ file dialog will happily append the regular
expression as the file extension which is surely not what you want.
There are still a few known places (mostly gerbview) where there are
some complex wildcard code that has not been converted.
