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
dropping files to Kicad manager :
*.kicad_pro, *.pro -> open project;
gerber and job files -> open in Gerbview editor;
Eagle and Cadstar files -> open project.
dropping file to schematic editor -> append schematic;
dropping library file to Symbol editor -> add library;
dropping board file to PCB editor -> append board;
dropping library or footprint file to Footprint editor -> add library or import footprint;
dropping ZIP file or gerber files to Gerbview editor -> open files;
dropping sheet file to Drawing Sheet editor -> open sheet.

Also find a few more places where we are reaching into a new frame to
perform actions that need to have dialogs closed.
Running actions should also wait for the next cycle rather than being
immediately executed when we are calling into a new frame. This allow
for the cleanup actions onClose() to happen prior to the next action
starting

This also moves closing the existing project earlier to improve the
workflow -- so there's a chance that the main fix might not be needed
anymore, but it's still safer to not have a control-flow that crashes
rather than to just not use that control-flow.

wx/wx.h includes all wxWidgets .h files, and sometimes creates collision
names in #define between kicad and windows headers
Moreover, blindly including a lot of useless files is compil time consuming
- Need to check that the path we are calling an "empty" directory doesn't exist before we start
- Need to check that the location where we are storing the resultant imported design isn't the same as the source location. If it is the same, do not make a copy of the files as it will fail.

Previously it didn't properly close or create a new project for the
Eagle project.
Also, update the titlebar text whenever the project changes (so it is
cleared properly when a project is unloaded).

We used to have to open a PCB_EDIT_FRAME to get the settings for
the footprint editor and footprint viewer. This necessitated some
special processing when opening a PCB_EDIT_FRAME to actually edit
a board as it might already be open but unloaded.
Since the new settings architecture allows the footprint editor and
footprint viewer to init themselves we no longer need the special-
case code.
Please note that the symbol cache is not embedded in the schematic file
to allow for round robin testing with the existing file format. Once
the parser round robin testing is complete, the symbol cache will be
embedded in the schematic file.
This allows us to make the various netlist and pcb update routines
more atomic and less reliant on carefully sequenced asynchronous
messages.
This is also a prelude to adding support for footprint testing
without a netlist.
Using Title + Message wasn't working for all the dialogs which
did substitutions in the message (which was a lot of them).

This fixes some warnings on GCC 8.1:
warning: catching polymorphic type ‘class std::out_of_range’ by value [-Wcatch-value=]
catch( std::out_of_range )
^~~~~~~~~~~~
This fix is along the same lines as:
* ff1802d7a "Fix Coverity "Big parameter passed by value" warnings"
After Eagle project import, schematic and board netlists are inconsistent:
footprints do not have sheetpaths assigned, schematics are unannotated.
One can update netlist either by references or timestamps, but timestamps
are empty in pcbnew, and updating by reference must by preceded by
annotation which may lead to broken links between board and schematics
(Eagle does not require references to end with a number, so KiCad annotater
will add numbers in such cases).
To fix the problem, there is a two step netlist update:
- update by reference without the annotation step, to assign
correct sheetpaths to footprints
- update by timestamp, after symbols are annotated, in order to
update references in the board

When active project flag is disabled, the application buttons are
disabled in the main launcher window. It usually happens when 'kicad'
runs without any project preloaded.
There is a significant difference in the behavior of wxFileDialog
between Windows and Linux (GTK+). On windows, wxFileDialog will
return the path chosen even if no file is selected. On Linux,
wxFileDialog returns the default path when no file is selected. This
caused the destination path to be the same path as the source which
was causing the issue. Use wxDirDialog instead so the selected path
is returned.

The GTK+ file dialog is case sensitive however it does support regular
expressions. Most of the file dialog wildcards are lower case so only
files with the lower case extensions will show up in the file dialog.
This code adds a method to convert file extensions of any case to the
appropriate (sch -> [sS][cC][hH]) regular expression on GTK+ builds so
all file extension case combinations will show up in the file dialog.
A note to developers: make sure to add a file extension when setting
when setting the default file argument. If you do don't set an
extension, the GTK+ file dialog will happily append the regular
expression as the file extension which is surely not what you want.
There are still a few known places (mostly gerbview) where there are
some complex wildcard code that has not been converted.

- Also makes the project and file import functions filetype dependent.
- The change from IO_MGR::KICAD to IO_MGR::KICAD_SEXP removes a conflict from a compile definition for KICAD when compiling kicad/import_project.cpp
