During the symbol library table implementation, the legal character
tests for the footprint library table were changed and the forward
slash '/' character became illegal. This change broke editing some
users footprint library tables that already had '/' in library table
nicknames. This change split the library nickname and library item
name illegal character tests.
Also sets the initial footprint to the current footprint when
doing a Choose Footprint from the Eeschema Edit Property
dialog.

Any errors in the dialog should be handled and, at worst, allowed to
redo. SPICE_VALUE throws KI_PARAM_ERROR, so we catch that explicitly.

This refactors the symbol field editor's checkbox state-saving code to
deal with multiple projects with disjoint field sets more consistently.
For instance, imagine I have a two projects
* Proj1 has fields A, B, C
* Proj2 has fields A, B, D
Under the old scheme, when I switch from one project to the other the
state of fields C and D will be forgotten. With the new approach,
however, they are retained.
Not to mention, the implementation is considerably simpler. Fixes
This makes it significantly easier to find a particular component when
using the field editor, as I often do for part selection.

There are a bunch of problems with event processing and closing
documents, etc., when enabled. See the bug report for more

When you search for an item that exists on a separate sheet in the
schematic, the newly loaded schematic sheet needs to have the dangling
flags set so that we don't have a mess of non-connected "o" markers.
Clearing annotations should only clear the settings that can be set by
the matching annotate function. Even in components where the units are
functionally the same, the unit choice should be retained as there are
often other considerations when chosing the unit.

The splitter window can not be the parent to any additional windows.
If it acquires a child that persists past the lifetime of the splitter
window, we get a segfault.
Also hooks up the Python netlist reader to the descriptions so
that they appear correctly in BOMs. (The BOM generators used
to always get the root component's description rather than the
alias's description.)

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)
Empty project path is a valid case when eeschema is executed in
standalone mode without any file loaded.
There were no observed harmful consequences of running eeschema without
the project path set, but to stay safe the project specific
sym-lib-table load code is executed only when the project path is set.
In the scenario described in the bug report, the SCH_SCREEN current item
pointer stores an address of a stale object that had been deleted when
the symbol was reloaded. To prevent the crash, the current item pointer
is reset whenever a symbol is loaded.

Button "Toggle the search tree" from left toolbar of Symbol Library
Editor does not show actual state of visibility of the search tree
panel. State of this button (checked or unchecked) changes on clicking
only. Toggling panel visibility from menu does not make effect on tool
state.
Applied changes makes tool state (checkd/unchecked) synced with panel
state (shown/hidden).
It can be useful to have similar class messages grouped together so that
error messages in a larger report don't get lost among the
warning/info/action messages.
This patch allows sorting of messages for dialogs that benefit from
organization. Default behavior of reporter messages remains
unchanged by this patch.

1) Commit in-progress edits before closing preferences.
2) Handle default fields in Symbol Fields Editor.
3) Save state of checkboxes in Symbol Fields Editor.
The original algorithm picked the value from the last component having
non empty value for a given field, but the processing order was
dependent on the layout of the components in the memory. It means that
for each component, the field values could have been taken from any
unit, randomly.
The patch improves the algorithm, trying to get all values from the unit
with the lowest number and resorts to other units only when there are
field values left empty.
Unifies the different sections of hotkeys so that we are not storing two
[eeschema] or [pcbnew] sections in two different files.
Previous hotkey definitions are loaded at start if they exist but are
overwritten by the new format, if it exists. Changes to hotkeys save
only in the combined format.
Hotkey editor for each application only shows the hotkeys relevant to
that application.

Now graphic texts containing ' ' or '~' or '"' are always quoted
