Implement bracket notation for stacked pins ([1,2,3], [1-4], [1,3,5-7]).
Automatic net naming proceeds based on the smallest logical pin number
in stacked groups.
Provide explode/reform commands in symbol editor for conversion.
Supports arbitrary ranges including BGA alphanum ranges like
[AA1-AA3,CD14-CD22]
Adds some additional QA and trace logging

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
Like the DSNLEXER header, this has visibility in over 700
files, whereas well under half actually use any of it
(quite a bit, but not all, of it actually via DSNLEXER)
Many places already forward-declare the OUTPUTFORMATTER type,
by doing that for the others, it still possible to use the
non-IO methods without having to see richio.h.
This function attempted a poor-man's natural compare but it assumed
specific structure of the string. This broke for strings with
numberings that looked like decimals.
Instead, we use our natural string comparison function and remove the
references to this older function and its similar elements.

For some reason, the footprint UUID was being prefixed to the sheet path
which caused the symbol look up by sheet path to fail. An option was
added to not do this when the geographical back annotation to the schematic
is performed.
Each symbol unit in eeschema has a unique identifier. But we don't have
a unique identifier for the entire symbol. So changing which symbol
instance was unit A (our default base for matching), changed the UUID
that we were using to match the footprints.
This commit adds all UUIDs to the netlist, allowing us to match symbol
to footprint without worrying about which unit is referenced.
This still does not handle changing different units on different sheets.
