relative to the on screen schematic

(cherry picked from commit 4a3b33df4e8a95ce3cafe8dc810642501f929d72)
[Resolve conflicts with JP's fix to same. I'm not sure if we support !m_mirrorIsHorizontal, but
it was in other code, so I left it in just to be
safe....]

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
The "Plot to PDF" function was producing PDF files that lacked text and
graphic items in viewers like Adobe and Foxit. This issue was caused by
the use of the %g format specifier for floating-point numbers defined in
the PDF specification when writing text and drawing shapes in the PDF.
This incorrect format led to a "Too Few Operands" error during rendering.
To resolve this issue, all floating-point numbers must be specified in
fixed-point format according to the PDF specification wherever the issue
was generated.
Fixes#16465
- in DXF coordinates were using 6 digits for coordinate mantissa: this is not
enough for coord in inches. Now use 16 digits
- Arc( VECTOR2I& aCentre, EDA_ANGLE& aStartAngle, EDA_ANGLE& aEndAngle, ...)
was using integers for coord. This creates significant errors for start point
and end points of the arc. Now the center is given in double, and its position
is calculated from angle end points (and radius) to do not generate a position error
for these end points (previously the error could be 20 ... 50 nm)

We fake the alpha channel by pre-multiplying but we forgot to account
for the downscaling of the input channel value in addition to correcting
the alpha * white. This led to clipping when the values overflowed

Old PLOTTER::Text is not (yet) removed, but it use negative text size
to mirrored text, which is not really compatible with some plotters (especially PDF).
Using TEXT_ATTRIBUTES is much easy and much better,
so PLOTTER::PlotText() is added.
Note: "old" PLOTTER::Text() is not removed yet.
Rather than hiding a single line at once, we align each word in the
string with the approximate location of the output word. This allows
better selecting text in the output pdf

(Not sure if it solves the MSW issues yet, but at least it highlights
the items in the dropdown on rollover on OSX.)
Also added some text to the dropdown menu for intersheet references in
the PDF.
Also moves most navigation code to SCH_NAVIGATION_TOOL.
Also changes page number href to anchor syntax ('#foo').
Also adds hypertext processing to SCH_TEXTBOXes.
Also adds combobox with schematic pages to text properties dialog.
