Recommendation is to avoid using the year nomenclature as this
information is already encoded in the git repo. Avoids needing to
repeatly update.

The sheet list is returned as a copy of the cached list rather than a
reference to prevent external code from changing the list. While not as
performant, it eliminates the risk of the sheet list being altered in
ways that could break the schematic. The sheet list should only be
updated by calling SCHEMATIC::RefreshHierarchy() when any appropriate
sheet changes are made.
Note to developers: there is something inherently different about how the
QA tests are loading and handling schematics versus the schematic editor.
Using the cached sheet list for the SCHEMATIC object will cause some QA
test to fail. This is why SCHEMATIC::Hierarchy() has not replaced
SCHEMATIC::BuildSheetListSortedByPageNumbers() everywhere.
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

Also removes the side-effect that SCH_SHEET_LIST's
c'tor would sort the list (and write virtual page
numbers) anytime the starting sheet was the root.
Also, definitely don't build a SHEET_LIST (sorted or
otherwise) if you're not even going to use it.
Also don't build SCH_SHEET_LISTs on idle events. Better
to just always have the Next Sheet button enabled (we
already beep if you click it and there's no next sheet).
Also, use a SCREEN_LIST when you can. It's much cheaper
to create.
for non English languages.
The main issue was the function compared a English string to a translated string.
However, even with this fix, the code, although working, is not very good:
It compare 2 members (BOM_PRESET .sortField string) that are not very significant
and can be or not translated.
Also fixes a bug where ERC testing for text variables in sheet pins
would start with the wrong sheet.
Also fixes a bug where ERC testing of similar labels would use the
wrong sheet.
Also fixes a bug where ERC testing of bus-to-net conflicts would use
the wrong sheet.
Also fixes a bug where ERC didn't process variable references when
checking hierarchical labels against sheet pins.
Also fixes a bug where ERC multiple-drivers and netclass-conflicts
tests didn't set a sheetpath.
Without this there's no way to re-adjust the column width when new
items are added. Doing more auto-sizing would be another option,
but at some point we have to stop trying to be smarter than the
user. (And the resize algo already has bugs on Mac causing us to
make the column too short for "${ITEM_NUMBER}" for some reason.)
Create 2 wrappers for it: DIALOG_FOOTPRINT_CHOOSER and
FOOTPRINT_CHOOSER_FRAME. The first now gets called from wxGrid
editors, text button editors (such as Change Footprints), etc.
Retire FOOTPRINT_VIEWER_FRAME_MODAL. FOOTPRINT_VIEWER_FRAME still
exists, but has very few uses at this point.
