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
Adds the initial implementation of bezier overlay
(assistant) and geometry manager. This is only
implemented in Pcbnew - the code is common, but
eeschema doesn't currently use it for any shape.

The wxComboBox drops nicely from the top of the screen, showing the full
element list, opposed to the choice widget that centers the selection
and places the list off the top of the screen if there are many
elements. This was broke for MacOS until wx3.2

Bitmaps are now identified by an enum class instead of by pointers.
Bitmap loading and caching is now handled by a class in common, and
we no longer compile most bitmaps into the binary, so there is no
longer a bitmaps static library.
Instead, bitmaps are archived to a .tar.gz file which is installed
in ${KICAD_DATA}/resources/images.tar.gz
The source PNGs are checked in to Git as the original CPP files were,
so that people can build without the required dependencies to convert
SVGs to PNGs.
Initial support is also added for dark theme icons, although this
is not yet exposed in the GUI.
Stubs are present for multi-resolution image resources, but this is
not fully-baked yet and could use some refinement.
Some differences are due to difference between libraries being files
in symbol editor and directories in footprint editor, but this unifies
most of the rest.
It also dispenses with the save-to-library vs save-to-document distinction
in the GUI because it makes for too much variability in the GUI, was
implemented differently between the two editors, and isn't needed as much
anymore now that we have the highly visible infobar.
There was also an issue that the save-to-board icon occupies the same
location and has the same size/shape/colours as the Board Setup icon in
PCBNew.

- Improve contrast of ratsnest icons by removing blue
- Track icon: make blue as it is a board feature
- Muwave icon: remove handles, make serpentine blue, thicken and pixel align
- New, simplified zone and rule area icons
- Simplify draw tools by removing edit handles/guidelines - improves contrast
- Reorder draw tools in toolbar/menubar to make a little more sense
- Rotate measurement icon (ruler) to match bottom left -> top right
These objects can now be used in advanced DRC rules and
not just for keeping things out. Also remove the restriction
that at least one of the "basic" keepout rules must be set,
so that these areas can be used for more advanced rules.
There was a regression in v6 where the zoom to selection toolbar
item wasn't canceling the tool when pressed and the tool was active
(it was in v5). This implements a more generic framework for canceling
tools on button presses.
