* Manage the settings using the settings manager for better lifetimes
* Better architect the internals and JSON to make it easier to identify
the various tool types
The dialogs will launch their own quasi modal dialogs, which reparent
themselves to the TLW. When closing, on GTK, they will focus the TLW,
leading to events being handled while the initial quasi modal dialog is
still showing.

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 tidies up quite a performance hit on layer change
caused by repainting vias, pads and tracks for their
clearances.
Instead, on a layer change, just disable any old clearance
layer and enable the new one (if any).

This involves recasting the array tool from the slightly
eccentric ARRAY_CREATOR class into a full-blown TOOL, which
allows it to usefuly store state asd the dialog hides. This
is modelled on the POSITION_RELATIVE_TOOL strategy.
The by-radius-and-point mechanism is removed entirely,
as it's very fiddly and hard to describe in the UI,
and what you probably really want to do is get your
item onto the circle with tools like "move exact",
and then define the circle origin (now using the picker
tool)

- Adds Component Class field to SCH_DIRECTIVE_LABEL
- Adds SCH_SYMBOLs to SCH_RULE_AREA item lists
- SCH_SYMBOLs resolve Component Class directives
- Netlist exporter / importer handles Component Class names
- Adds DRC expressions and functions
- Adds QA check for component class netlist export
There was a gentle mish-mash of booleans, some with
true being left/right and some up/down, and some functions that
can flip in both axes (which is never actually done, and doesn't
really make geometric sense).
Replace all this with the FLIP_DIRECTION enum class, which makes
the intention completely unambiguous.
This also then allows a small scattering of simplifications,
because everything takes the same type and you don't have to
fiddle booleans to fit.
Adds the initial implementation of bezier overlay
(assistant) and geometry manager. This is only
implemented in Pcbnew - the code is common, but
eeschema doesn't currently use it for any shape.

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
