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

We are derived from std::vector now. We don't need our own prima donna
increment and dereference overload as these just create bloat and
non-standard coding practices
This one for symbol <-> footprint. (Original was for
lib footprint <-> board footprint.)
Also fixes a major bug in DRC where we bail out of parity
checking if DRCE_MISSING_FOOTPRINT is set to ignore (or
overflows).

DRC exclusions were originally written following the C++
pragma model (ie: allow this violation here). However, the
"exclusion" terminology we used in the GUI suggests a model
model where the exclusions go away when the violation no
longer exists.

- avoid aborting the DRC report on a .dru issue without any error message.
- ensure the list of layer names is up to date (contains both canonical
and user layers names, that can be used in DRC tests.

Without the project files, certain settings will not be saved by this
python call. This defaults to false (current behavior) but setting the
`aSkipSettings` to true will revert to v5 behavior

We can't handle this in the UI, but we can externally, so allow
it for Python scripting and eventually we'll use this in the UI
also...

(cherry picked from commit 13945097349d603044e3d51e9b53fd308010583c)
BOARD* LoadBoard( wxString& aFileName, IO_MGR::PCB_FILE_T aFormat ) crashes if a
old project file (*.pro) exists and the *.kicad_pro file doses not exists.
The crash happens when trying to convert the old config outside kicad.
s_SettingsManager is not always initialized when the WriteDRCReport is
run. We should first attempt to extract the project from the actual
board being checked. Failing that, we fall back to the static settings manager and then exit if we don't have a project associated.

(cherry picked from commit 78e737b9d87822d81f9a99565fc1db456923234e)
Unused variables in function calls can be commented out. Unused
return variables get a new routine `ignore_unused()` that silences the
warnings with zero overhead.
KiCad cannot have more than one board/project open, so disallow
the Python APIs for loading additional boards when the frame is
present. Inherit the SETTINGS_MANAGER from the frame when present
instead of creating a new one that won't have the loaded project.
