Glew has the problem that it has to be selected at build time if GLX or
EGL is supported by the library, and this in not encoded in the library
name, nor ABI, nor anything.
Then it's easy to get into the situation that a binary is built but
cannot run because glew supports an API different from the one used by
wxWidgets, or the binary fails to link in the end after all objects are
compiled.
epoxy can support both with the same library avoiding this problem.
epoxy is not initialized explicitly, replaced initialization with
version check where one was not done already.
It seems to be available as vcpkg https://vcpkg.link/ports/libepoxy
There are problems related to GL context switching on Windows which does
not seem to be used in kicad
https://github.com/anholt/libepoxy#known-issues-when-running-on-windows
There is also a problem related to multithreaded rendering on Windows
https://github.com/anholt/libepoxy/pull/265 It's harder to tell if
threading is used for rendering but it does not look like kicad is doing
anything complex enough to warrant using multiple rendering threads.

This is the second try at 5326c36a5f. The difference here is that we
have moved GL_CONTEXT_MGR into kicommon first which will hopefully
address some of the Windows linkage issues
The GL context lock needs to be shared across kifaces. Otherwise, we
can end up blocking the lock from one kiface. Unfortunately, I can't
find the issue in GitLab right now for where the footprint viewer shows
a blank screen after opening too many contexts. But that's what this
fixes.

Recommendation is to avoid using the year nomenclature as this
information is already encoded in the git repo. Avoids needing to
repeatly update.
Also updates AUTHORS.txt from current repo with contributor names
Schematics, symbols, boards and footprints all get the ability to store
files inside their file structures. File lookups now have a
kicad-embed:// URI to allow various parts of KiCad to refer to files
stored in this manner.
kicad-embed://datasheet.pdf references the file named "datasheet.pdf"
embedded in the document. Embeds are allowed in schematics, boards,
symbols and footprints. Currently supported embeddings are Datasheets,
3D Models and drawingsheets

* Use GL vertex buffers and index buffers for 3D model rendering
* Use material or average vertex color for bounding boxes instead of red
* Reinstate bounding box rendering with GL vertex/index buffers
* Use compact vertex/index data representation
- 8-bit normals
- 8-bit colors
- 16-bit or 32-bit indices, depending on model size
This should improve performance a bit on lower end GPUs with less memory
and bandwidth.
Fixes#4112
Additionally, fix an unreported bug allowing zoom level to get stuck at
MAX_ZOOM.

* Split and rewrite the preview window and canvas.
* Create a new class for handling the board information.
* Adds new render targets: openGL, legacy, and ray tracing.
* Render targets take full advantage of the new 3D plugins system and 3D cache
for a fast 3D model loading.
* Faster board loading.
* New OpenGL render is faster than the old one.
* New ray tracing render target with a post processing shader.
* Use of new 3D plugins (WRL, X3D, STEP and IGES) and 3D model caching.
* Preview of 3D model while browsing the file name.
* 3D preview of the footprint while adding / align 3D shapes.
* Render of 3D models according to attributes: Normal, Normal+Insert, Virtual.
* Pivot rotation centered in one point over the PCB board.
* Shortcuts keys improved for XYZ orientation..
* Animated camera.
