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
For unique_ptr, release only set the ownership to null, but don't free the resource behind. On the other hand, reset do.

The IO_RELEASER is a thin-wrapper around a std::unique_ptr, but done
this way to allow easier addition of a custom deleter in the future if
something needs to call back into the IO_MGR.
This adds Reset() method to KIFACE to reload global libs stored in
global static vars.
Also refactors some lib reload code in various frames to have
common MAIL_RELOAD_LIB handler.

prevent any project library tables from being used as the default.

Adds Cut/Copy/Paste and Revert for footprints; introduces a new
shared Revert Changes? dialog; hooks up Add Library for footprints,
standardizes the Save As terminology.
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.
