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
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

Version 7 text alignment changed subtly for stroke fonts from version 6.
Additionally, the output has been different between screen and plotting,
leading to offset text in plotted output relative to the text shown on
screen.
This introduces a fudge factor in FONT::getLinePositions to correct the
offset in the plotting output relative to v6.
This also changes the SCH_PAINTER and PCB_PAINTER to correct the
relative offsets between GAL and PLOTTER classes. The source of these
offsets is atm unclear.

Many minor tweaks were added that changed the output of the stroke font
from v5/v6. These offsets changed the gerber output expected. This
reverts the changes to something much closer to the v6 output. It is
not pixel-perfect but gets very close on most texts.

Also fixes some plot bugs with arcs.
Also moves polygonization of arcs (when required) in plotting code
from 5 degrees to calculated based on ARC_HIGH_DEF.

Especially using a translated name breaks kicad config and files because
in non English languages both translated and not translated names were used in code.
1) Unify metrics between stroke and outline fonts
2) Unify handling of rotation and mirroring
3) Bug fixes in collision handling
4) Use of VECTOR2I (instead of VECTOR2D) for world-coordinates
5) Generate outline font overbar with rounded ends and fix rotation
bugs
6) Generate wxEVT_CHOICE events from FONT_CHOICE::SetFontSelection
7) Change text-item PNS SOLIDs to use compound shapes
