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
Mostly intended right now for allowing testing of library tables
to help with testing chained loading, but it also decouples the
idea of a library table from on-disk files in general.
All current (real) lib table implementations continue to use the
file-based IO.
This could be made more general (not just for tables) if really
needed.
If KiCad does not detect an environmental variable set for the old
library table variables AND the library table being opened references
the unset env var, we will dynamically update the env var to the new
value

Allows placing parts from an external database that reference symbols from another loaded library.
Includes:
- nanodbc wrapper
- database schematic library plugin
- basic tests

Save-As to a new footprint name will cause the fp table to reload. We
were incorrectly locking the indices in a manner that did not protect
the proper index, causing lock errors that threw/crashed editor
CHANGED: Settings are now stored in versioned sub-directories
ADDED: First-run dialog for migrating settings from a previous version
CHANGED: Settings are now stored as JSON files instead of wxConfig-style INI files
CHANGED: Color settings are now all stored in a separate settings file
CHANGED: The symbol editor and footprint editor now have their own settings files
CHANGED: Color settings are no longer exposed through BOARD object
CHANGED: Page layout editor now uses Eeschema's color scheme
Settings are now managed through a central SETTINGS_MANAGER held by PGM_BASE.
Existing settings will be migrated from the wxConfig format on first run of each application.
Per-application settings are now stored in one class for each application.
KiCad is case sensitive but we need to be consistent in displaying sort
order as case insensitive (same as file systems)

(cherry picked from commit ebba15fe67682d4e970e592b76993375975b0b06)
Some basic tests on LIB_TABLE and LIB_TABLE_ROW that demonstrate
the behaviour of fallbacks and various access methods.
Also add a few LIB_TABLE_BASE comments and changed some NULLs to
nullptr.
The Windows drive specifier C: was being interpreted as a valid URL by
wxURI which was performing a URL comparison instead of a file comparison
which always failed in LIB_TABLE_BASE::FindRowByURI(). Change test for
URI to search string for "://" to determine if the comparison should be
a URI (string) comparison or a file (wxFileName) comparison.
Don't run final rescue unless the user performs the remapping.
The remapping utility would create a new project specific library when a
symbolic link pointed to a library already defined in the symbol library
table. Now the comparison checks to see if the library path and file
name are actually a symbolic link if the file names are not the same when
the symbol library table entry is a file name rather than a URL. URLs
are simple string comparisons.
Disable the remap button after the remapping completed.
Remove some commented out code from the edit symbol in schematic dialog.

Simplify some of the library editing code. There have been a few minor
changes in the behavior of the editor. If the current symbol is deleted
from the library, the next symbol in the library is not loaded. The
deleted symbol is cleared and the current symbol is empty.
Change component to symbol to align with the preferred terminology
discussed on the developer's mailing list.
Add separate update UI event for save library as to enable the menu entry
whenever a library is selected.
Change the select symbol list dialog to a single column using the LIB_ID
format LIB_NICKNAME:LIB_ITEM_NAME so that the selection can be parsed by
LIB_ID.
Add method to expand URI to LIB_TABLE_BASE.
Override wxApp::OnExceptionInMainLoop() in debug builds to make debugging
easier when an unhandled exception occurs in a wxUpdateUIEvent handler.
Change SCH_SCREENS::HasNoFullyDefinedLibIds() to return false when the
schematic has no symbols to prevent the remapping dialog from being run.
Use SCH_COMPONENT part reference when creating netlist rather than looking
up the library symbol.
