Wayne Stambaugh 52078a4b1b Allow setting mandatory derived symbol field properties.
CHANGED: All mandatory fields in derived symbols can be edited.  This
not only includes the field value but also all text properties.

Kill the dual datasheet variable storage which caused many datasheet
bugs over the years.  The datasheet is now always stored in the data
sheet field.

Jeff Young 4990d1e7b2 Variable substitution framework.
This implements editing of variables and moving SCH_FIELDs,
TEXTE_MODULEs, TEXTE_PCB and worksheet items over to the new
framework.

jean-pierre charras 2ca16c0b29 eeschema: fixes some issues related to translated and not translated field names.
When searching for fields, the code was sometimes comparing translated and not translated names.
This is an issue for mandatory fields, in non English languages.

Translated field names should be used only in messages.

Wayne Stambaugh 371c5a9259 Eeschema: fix symbol properties dialog bug.
Derived symbols were causing the symbol properties grid to assume that
the reference could not be edited because derived symbols inherit the
reference from the parent symbol.  The flattened symbols in the schematic
still have the parent set which cause the issue.  Clearing the parent of
the flattened symbol resolves the issue.

Fix a minor bug in the symbol information of derived symbols show in the
symbol chooser dialog.

Fixes #3723

Wayne Stambaugh 54f066fed7 Implement simple inheritance for library symbols.
This change completely removes the LIB_ALIAS design pattern an replaces
it by allowing LIB_PART objects to inherit from other LIB_PART objects.
The initial implementation only allows for single inheritance and only
supports the mandatory fields in the derived part because that is all
that the current symbol library file format will support.  Once the new
file format is implemented and saving to the old file format is deprecated,
more complex inheritance will be added.  The LIB_ALIAS information saved
in the document files was move into the LIB_PART object.  This change
impacts virtually every part of the schematic and symbol library editor
code so this commit message is woefully incomplete.

REMOVE: Removed the symbol aliases concept from the schematic and symbol
editors and the symbol viewer.

NEW: Replace the symbol alias concept with simple inheritance that allows
a library symbol to be derived from another library symbol.

Wayne Stambaugh 329fc18732 Convert component chooser dialog over to use symbol library table.
Change all of the component tree helper objects to use LIB_IDs instead of
LIB_ALIAS pointers.  LIB_ALIAS pointers are dangerous to use because they
can be deleted in the symbol library editor while the component chooser
dialog has copies of them.  With LIB_IDs, the LIB_ALIAS pointer is found
on demand and can be guaranteed to be valid.

Update the chooser dialog to load the symbol library table instead of the
libraries defined in the project file and return a LIB_ID instead of a
LIB_ALIAS pointer.

Modify SCH_BASE_FRAME::SelectComponentFromLibrary() to handle the LIB_IDs
returned from the component chooser dialog.
