The scope, recursion, reset options and message filters remain in the
user preferences. Others including numbering, sort order and reuse are
schematic preferences.
Also, the oddball subunit display remains here but it doesn't really
belong in annotation.

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
This prevents the dialog growing too much and going off a
smaller screen. It's also more consistent split to match
Pcbnew, which has the same graphical items settings and
allows more granular resetting and avoids confusing settings
that only apply to new footprints with settings that apply
to items with in a footprint.
Resetting is also then more granular, so you can reset text item
defaults without, say, also resetting your default line widths.
ADDED: Horizontal/vertical zoom for simulator plots, via mouse wheel,
toolbar buttons, menu commands, and hotkeys.
ADDED: Simulator preferences panel, populated with mouse wheel
and trackpad settings that control pan and zoom of simulator plots.
ADDED: Zoom In/Out Horizontally/Vertically commands that can be bound
to hotkeys.
CHANGED: Simulator plot scroll wheel gestures are no longer hard-coded
and can now be configured via the new Simulator preferences panel.

Other unreported bugs that were fixed:
- Fixed wierd, jumpy simulator plot view limiting behavior.
- Fixed Zoom In Center and Zoom Out Center commands not preserving
the simulator plot center point.
- Fixed simulator plot nudging when exported as PNGs.
- Fixed rectangular selection zoom being able to exceed simulator plot
view limits.
Notes:
- Provided new SIM_PREFERENCES struct to be used for future
simulator preferences set via the simulator preferences dialog.
- Bundled pre-existing EESCHEMA_SETTINGS::SIMULATOR settings into
EESCHEMA_SETTINGS::SIMULATOR::VIEW.
- Replaced mpWindow::EnableMouseWheelPan with more general
SetMouseWheelActions.
- Refactored and tidied up wxMathPlot's mpWindow code involved with
fitting, zooming, and panning.
- Consolidated long lists of duplicated member variable initializers to
a new mpWindow private delegated constructor.
- Provided provisional Zoom In/Out Horizontally/Vertically toolbar
icons that need improvement by a graphics designer.
- Provided gitignore entries for the Qt Creator IDE
Create 2 wrappers for it: DIALOG_FOOTPRINT_CHOOSER and
FOOTPRINT_CHOOSER_FRAME. The first now gets called from wxGrid
editors, text button editors (such as Change Footprints), etc.
Retire FOOTPRINT_VIEWER_FRAME_MODAL. FOOTPRINT_VIEWER_FRAME still
exists, but has very few uses at this point.
Most of these settings are now available in the appearances panel.
It was concluded in a Zulip discussion that any missing items can
be added back in time if people find they need them (ie: complain).
Also hooks up 3DViewer to the common language framework.
Primary change is to replace most control/window borders with
AUI pane borders. We implement our own AUI border drawing
routine which avoids the ugly one-pixel white frames around
dark canvasses.
Also increases the signal-to-noise ratio of all the pane
creation code in the various frames.
Spooling up a full PLAYER in the background takes too long.
This also fixes bugs around how the tables are saved, although
that was just missing code rather than anything architectural.

This commit brings several changes:
- Add a footprint preview pane to the eeschema component selector
- Upgrade component list to wxTreeListCtrl
- Factor out wxTreeListCtrl subclass TWO_COLUMN_TREE_LIST which
patches a column size bug
- Linkify datasheet URL in info pane
*) Rework the set language support, simplify it by using KIWAY. Now any major
frame with a "change language" menu can change the language for all KIWAY_PLAYERs
in the whole KIWAY. Multiple KIWAYs are not supported yet.
*) Simplify "modal wxFrame" support, and add that support exclusively to
KIWAY_PLAYER where it is inherited by all derivatives. The function
KIWAY_PLAYER::ShowModal() is in the vtable and so is cross module capable.
*) Remove the requirements and assumptions that the wxFrame hierarchy always
had PCB_EDIT_FRAME and SCH_EDIT_FRAME as immediate parents of their viewers
and editors. This is no longer the case, nor required.
*) Use KIWAY::Player() everywhere to make KIWAY_PLAYERs, this registers the
KIWAY_PLAYER within the KIWAY and makes it very easy to find an open frame
quickly. It also gives control to the KIWAY as to frame hierarchical
relationships.
*) Change single_top to use the KIWAY for loading a KIFACE and instantiating
the single KIWAY_PLAYER, see bullet immediately above.
*) Add KIWAY::OnKiwayEnd() and call it from PGM_BASE at program termination, this
gives the KIFACEs a chance to save their final configuration dope to disk.
*) Add dedicated FRAME_T's for the modal frames, so m_Ident can be tested and
these modal frames are distinctly different than their non-modal equivalents.
KIWAY_PLAYER::IsModal() is !not! a valid test during the wxFrame's constructor,
so this is another important reason for having a dedicated FRAME_T for each
modal wxFrame.
On balance, more lines were deleted than were added to achieve all this.
Eeschema, Pcbnew, and Cvpcb all run under the same process now,
FOR THE VERY FIRST TIME!
*) Added KIWAY::PlayerCreate(), PlayerClose(), and PlayersClose().
*) Factored FRAME_T into <frame_type.h> from ID_DRAWFRAME_TYPE.
*) Found that the following command line is helpful for collecting all the *.kiface
files into the <build>/kicad/ directory so that kicad can find them.
$ cp `find . -name '*.kiface'` kicad/
Maybe somebody will want to rework how the CMake files are organized so all
the binaries can go into the same place. See python-a-mingw-us.
*) This might fix the problem on the Mac where child process windows were not
coming to the front. See ->Raise() in kicad/mainframe.cpp.
*) You can set USE_KIFACE to 0 in kicad/mainframe.cpp to chain load child exes
instead of using the KIFACE modules directly, i.e. revert.
