Prior to this change, the schematic connectivity was updated any time a
change was made to a connectable object. Now the connectivity is only
updated when an object change actually affects the connectivity. Other
properties like line width, fill type, custom fonts, etc. will not cause
the connectivity graph to be rebuilt.
The SCH_COMMIT flag SKIP_CONNECTIVITY has been removed. All schematic
objects can test if they are connectable and if there have been changes
to any connection properties that require a connectivity rebuild.
Remove duplicate rebuild connectivity calls from editor control tool.
This was causing the tangling end test to get called four times on every
undo and redo action because the dangling end test is already called in
the connectivity graph calculation code.
Update connectivity when changing label names which fixes an unreported
connectivity bug.
(cherry picked from commit c5a02fc266)
SCH_CONNECTION objects are temporary and can become stale any time the
connectivity is updated. Keeping them around to reference later is a
bad idea. Even if the object pointer is still valid in an SCH_ITEM in
the undo/redo buffers, comparing the pointer against another pointer as
a test to see if they are the same connection is not valid. Saving the
connection name is safe and ensures the connection is the same even if
the pointers differ.
The pressure relief valve was not useful for common work patterns as it
forced the recalculation on many common actions such as bus expansion.
This caused it to actually feel slower than with the pressure relief
valve off.
For most schematics, realtime is now fast enough to not need the valve
and for those that are extremely complex, removing the valve helps this
run more predictably
ADDED arc, circle and rectangle shapes for schematic. Shapes support
line styles and fill colors.
CHANGED sheet background color in Edit Text & Graphics Properties to
fill color (and it now affects shapes).
Pushed STROKE_PARAMS down into common and moved all shapes to using it
for stroke descriptions.
ADDED Junction Size and Color to Edit Text & Graphics properties.
The added feature is only because it's the only way to recover from
the buggy behaviour having changed all your junctions to overridden
values.
Also adds help texts to the Junction Dot Properties dialog to
specify how to get schematic dot sizes and eeschema colors.
Also fixes the terminology in the Line/Wire/Bus Properties dialog
(the default widths come from the netclasses, not from eeschema).

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.
