After forcing the locale-specific read/writes out of our IO, we can
remove the global LOCALE_IO calls in many places.
Still to do: exporters, pcm, specctra, settings, drawing sheets,
plotters
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
Also simplifies the scoring algorithm so that it only
differentiates between exact-match, match-at-start and
any-match. The rest of the position-based matching
stuff is gone, as is the knowledge of the name vs the
keywords vs the description. All that is left to the
provider of the weighted search terms array.
Thread pools are long-lasting executors that have close to zero overhead
when launching new jobs. This is advantageous over creating new threads
as we can use this for threading smalling jobs and smaller quanta. It
also avoids the heuristics needed to determine the optimal number of
threads to spawn
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.
wxTextFile uses wxFile which uses write syscalls which means its unbuffered.
This makes file IO more expensive against network shares where it will flush far too aggressively.
wxTextFile is fine for reads however.
This removes the remaining hard-coded segments counts and replaces them
with the relative error calculation where the segments per arc is
determined by the maximum error we allow (smaller arcs = fewer segments)
Be more intelligent about sorting lib tree items. (Footprint
entries, for instance, come out of an already-sorted list.)
Don't recreate menus twice when laoding Footprint Editor.
More pervasive use of WX_FILENAME to avoid expensive calls to
wxFileName::SplitPath() and string concatenation.
For POSIX kernels do all the work on the file-system side so we
don't have to keep converting back and forth between encodings.
This removes the existing constructors so that all parsing must
be explicit and callers are made aware that they need to think
about illegal characters, malformed ids, etc.

There are three related changes here to harden our handling of threads
in the footprint async loader.
1) Footprint async loader explicitly aborts any remaining loader threads
on exit.
2) We protect the thread join by a mutex
3) We do not pause during no-wait routines
When starting async processes, we need to have a way to stop the process
before releasing memory. Descoping FOOTPRINT_ASYNC_LOADER while the
threads were still running could cause crashes depending on the memory
structure. To avoid this we define clear procedures for exiting a
running async processes and call these when exiting.

Also removes parallel implementation in favour of using the
normal one (with a new wxGauge-backed PROGRESS_REPORTER).

While we already cache the loaded footprint files, parsing said files
into the list is also time-intensive. Since the FOOTPRINT_LIST is
already hash-stamped against the current timestamps of the files that
make up the list, sharing a single copy of the list is quite
straight-forward.
This commit was too broad and not cognizant of the purpose of the class
UTF8.
Add MAYBE_VERIFY_UTF8() macro, which can trap non-UTF8 encoded strings in
debug builds.
Use that macro conditionally in class UTF8 to trap non-UTF8 encoded strings
being put into UTF8 instances.
The footprint library cache handler would throw an exception on the
first error it encountered preventing all subsequent footprint files
from being parsed even if there was nothing wrong with them. This
commit queues errors until all of the footprint files in the folder
have been parsed.
