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
The call to FOOTPRINT_LIST::GetInstance( aKiway ) returns
a null pointer when it fails, rather than throwing. So this
wouldn't actually catch a KiWay failure and avert a segfault.
And no other caller of ReadFootprintFiles is in a try - so either
this function won't throw, or if it does, all callsites need
updating. For now, go with the majority.
Also don't load the footprints up front. The whole purpose of the
footprint-info stuff is to have enough info about the footprints to
filter them *without* loading. After that just load individual
footprints as we need them.

ADDED: Progress indicator in the taskbar
This adds a progress indicator to the Windows and macOS taskbar
icons to display the progress of some operations.
Note, this requires wxWidgets 3.1+
There are a bunch of problems with event processing and closing
documents, etc., when enabled. See the bug report for more
info.

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

Also update the rest of the symbol-chooser usage to current
specs, including examining the timestamp to see if the list
needs loading at all.

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.
DIALOG_COMPONENT_CHOOSE displays footprint preview when pcbnew kiface
is available, but it crashed when it was not in the same directory
as the executable. Now it displays an error message that allows the
user to quickly identify the problem.

Fix incorrect frame deletion, only noticeable when eeschema is run in stand alone mode.
After selecting a footprint using the footprint viewer, the application cannot be closed.
Reason:
the footprint viewer ctor creates an instance (not shown) of a FRAME_PCB.
Unfortunately, this pcb frame was not deleted by Eeschema, in stand alone mode,
preventing the application to be closed because a frame was still active after closing the schematic editor frame.
Now the footprint viewer ctor delete this instance after use, if it was not previously existing.

- DIALOG_CHOOSE_COMPONENT has footprint select widget
- FOOTPRINT_SELECT_WIDGET
- FOOTPRINT_CHOICE widget (customized wxComboCtrl)
- FOOTPRINT_FILTER class
- FOOTPRINT_INFO rework:
- FOOTPRINT_ASYNC_LOADER to load without freezing UI
- Rewrite loader threads as queue-driven thread pool
- Make FOOTPRINT_INFO available via kiway
- FP_LIB_TABLE::PrefetchLib
- Access to global fp-lib-table via kiway
- SYNC_QUEUE threadsafe queue template
- Remove KICAD_FOOTPRINT_SELECTOR build option
