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
Defer telling the statement about the connection until the
try block, because otherwise it can connect immediately and
potentially throw an exception if the connection fails.

Since single-row queries are performed rapid-fire during certain actions like
stepping through the symbol browser, there is high value in caching them for
a small amount of time. The default cache parameters will keep results for
10 seconds, which errs on the side of getting fresh data from the database
on most user interactions.
Allows placing parts from an external database that reference symbols from another loaded library.
Includes:
- nanodbc wrapper
- database schematic library plugin
- basic tests
