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.
IPC2581 is a modern production file exchange system. It provides
single-file data output for an entire board including BOM and netlist
information.

Removes old defines and work arounds for earlier wx versions and adds a
CMake requirement to use at least 3.2 (or the minimum matching wxPython
version)
In wxWidgets 3.15 (and perhaps older version) the call to GetTextExtent() probably
creates major issues when called too many times, at least oo msys2.
It was probably also time costly.
Calling it and resize the PROGRESS_REPORTER only when needed fixes these serious issues.
Issues happened only when the board has a lot of zones (when teardrops are added)
