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
Provides a single-point access for modifying the schematic and symbol
elements that allows chaining updates and reverting partial changes.
Standardizes the undo hierarchy between pcb and schematic editors
As this is another layer on the existing undo/redo structure, the
initial commit does not replace all undo/redo calls currently existing.
These will be handled in a series of follow-on commits
Bitmaps are now identified by an enum class instead of by pointers.
Bitmap loading and caching is now handled by a class in common, and
we no longer compile most bitmaps into the binary, so there is no
longer a bitmaps static library.
Instead, bitmaps are archived to a .tar.gz file which is installed
in ${KICAD_DATA}/resources/images.tar.gz
The source PNGs are checked in to Git as the original CPP files were,
so that people can build without the required dependencies to convert
SVGs to PNGs.
Initial support is also added for dark theme icons, although this
is not yet exposed in the GUI.
Stubs are present for multi-resolution image resources, but this is
not fully-baked yet and could use some refinement.
