We now allow the user to specify which in the
New Library dialog.
Also retires the "Export power symbols too" dialog.
Also gives a bunch of file and library dialogs
more explicit titles.
Also removes separate code-paths for Export to
Library and Export to New Library. The regular
code path has a "New Library..." button now.

* Manage the settings using the settings manager for better lifetimes
* Better architect the internals and JSON to make it easier to identify
the various tool types
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
Allows the user to easily 'upgrade' into a library edit action if
they choose the wrong one of Ctrl+E or Ctrl+Shift+E.
Increaes consistency with FP editing.
This is useful when you want to copy text content out to some
external program (or put it in a text item/box).
I'm not sure it's possible to intuit exactly what a user wants,
as you will often want to copy items as the real items, and sometimes
as text. While KiCad might be able to make a smart guess, external
programs will have no chance!
Moves the logic into the SCH_RENDER_SETTINGS, rather than
repeating it in EESCHEMA/SYMBOL_EDITOR_SETTINGS (they still
maintain their state there, but the painter looks at the
SCH_RENDER_SETTINGS).
Also turn them off for preview purposes.
PCB and footprint editors were already blocking this. Otherwise we would
get weird issues when pasting while drawing things like sheets or
textboxes that aren't selected while drawing.
Actually add a whole new panel for symbol editor appearance control.
Use the SYMBOL_EDITOR_SETTINGS as the source of truth in a
couple more places, but the SCH_PAINTER settings are still
driving quite a bit here and there.

This is a little more primitive than the pcbnew tool,
in the same way that the arc tool is also more primitive
(no interactive manager).
It works just about well enough to get the curves drawn,
but all these tools could do with some interactivity
in esschema and symbol editor.

Schematics, symbols, boards and footprints all get the ability to store
files inside their file structures. File lookups now have a
kicad-embed:// URI to allow various parts of KiCad to refer to files
stored in this manner.
kicad-embed://datasheet.pdf references the file named "datasheet.pdf"
embedded in the document. Embeds are allowed in schematics, boards,
symbols and footprints. Currently supported embeddings are Datasheets,
3D Models and drawingsheets
