If the hierarchy navigator is open and expanded, we have references to
the existing sheets. These need to be cleared when importing a new
sheet over top

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
When resizing the panel, it retrieves the last defined pane size
instead of the current one. To fix this, we need to trigger the event a
second time after the pane size has been defined. This avoid calling
m_AuiPanels.Update() that crashes windows if called directly

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

- Add a test to be sure a SCHEMATIC exists before trying to use it
- Delete items in Repeat list and undo/redo list before deleting the schematic
- Delete also these items when loading a new schematic (the repeat list was
not cleaned previously)
Before these fixes I see a use after delete issue due to dangling pointers
stored in Repeat list.
If we are renaming a sheet that exists only once in the schematic, then
we don't need to warn about case sensitivity. If the sheet exists
multiple times, we do. We can't check this using SCREENS because the
screens don't maintain full state information about where they are used.

Ignore bus member connection subgraphs. They do not have a valid net
name nor do they contain schematic items. This prevents empty nodes
from being added to the tree. They can be reintroduced in the future
if someone wants to pursue it.
Freeze the wxTreeCtrl while populating it and thaw when done to prevent
any unnecessary repainting.
Add profiling to test how long it takes to rebuild the net navigator.
The recently added populate the navigator with all nets when no net
is highlighted has exposed some potential performances issues with some
versions of wxWidgets on certain platforms. Namely wxWidgets 3.2.4 on
Linux GTK.
Fix an issue where a sheet name change would not update the highlighted
net navigator resulting in a stale human readable sheet path.
Prevent the highlighted net navigator from being rebuilt twice when
loading a schematic. SCH_EDIT_FRAME::RefreshNetNavigator() was being
called from both SCH_EDIT_FRAME::UpdateHierarchyNavigator() and
SCH_EDIT_FRAME::RecalculateConnectivity().
Add a new trace helper "KICAD_UI_PROFILE" to show trace output when
profiling user interface performance. It's used in the net navigator
profiling mentioned above.
Reuse PROF_TIMER::Show() to generate string for PROF_TIMER::to_string().
Prevent the hierarchy navigator from being rebuilt unless there are actual
sheet changes that would cause a change to the tree.
Save the tree expansion state before rebuilding the tree and then restore
the expansion state to the previous state sans edits.

Note: This changes the net highlight tool behavior. When clicking on an
already highlighted net, the net highlighting is no longer toggled
off. This prevents the net navigator panel from being cleared.
- Expand tree and highlight object selected with net highlight tool.
- Expand tree and highlight object that are currently highlighted with the
selection tool.
- Use more descriptive object text rather than menu entry text for tree
strings.
- Rebuild tree on unit changes.
Arrange connectivity items by sheet. Complex nets which span many
sheets make finding objects difficult. It also provides a higher
level of sheet view granularity.
[ADDED]: A panel to the schematic editor that allows quick access to all
of the items connected to the currently highlighted net.
This is an initial swag at implementing a full net navigator feature. For
now it only shows the currently highlighted net nodes. The incremental
net list advanced setting must be enabled in order to use this feature due
to performance reasons. There are still some issues with saving the panel
position which will be addressed in the future.
Initial code for serializing wxAuiPaneInfo settings to and from JSON have
be implemented.
SCH_CONNECTION objects are temporary and can become stale any time the
connectivity is updated. Keeping them around to reference later is a
bad idea. Even if the object pointer is still valid in an SCH_ITEM in
the undo/redo buffers, comparing the pointer against another pointer as
a test to see if they are the same connection is not valid. Saving the
connection name is safe and ensures the connection is the same even if
the pointers differ.
