This fixes the QA for issue13591 falsely passing on Linux.
It is actually failing this entire time.
But there is more wtfery going on, such as wxFFile::IsOpened returning True on a directory path.
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
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

wxWidgets 3.1 has deprecated wxPATH_NORM_ALL when normalizing file
paths when calling wxFileName::Normalize(). This change keeps the
existing behavior except in places where our own internal
ExpandEnvVarSubstitutions() to expand environment variables.
Copy Kicad2Step fixes back to Kicad's file resolver.
Remove Kicad2Step's autogeneration of some variables in favour of
just reading the config file passed by Kicad verbatim.

On Windows, FILENAME_RESOLVER::ValidateFileName() always returned a illegal filename test,
because the separators ('/' and '\') are in list of illegal chars in filenames on MSW.
Some code seems to think it's :alias:path while other code thinks it's
alias:path. This commit updates both the Kicad2Step resolver and the
KiCad internal resolver to be agnostic.
In 7.0 we should probably get rid of aliases entirely. But that's a
story for another day....

Versions specific variables that may point to objects that change
through versions, allowing multiple KiCad versions to operate correctly
(even on MSW) on the same machine.
