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
Also fix the previous code for clearing unknown keys to use
a JSON pointer so that it functions correctly when the JSON path
is more than one level deep.
Fixes https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/-/issues/18734
The Load and MatchesFile methods never change the aSettings parameter.
They also immediately dereference the pointer unchecked, so make it a
ref so that the client code (single call site) becomes formally
responsible for never passing a nullptr.
Add a reset button that will only show up if the user
edits the JSON configuration for grids. This is a temporary
measure until we have a real grid editor GUI in V7.
