They don't define a KiCad string class, so the header file name was
somewhat misleading. But the fact that they didn't match definitely
made coding more difficult.
It's tempting to say that we don't need to exclude filename chars
from symbols, but we might regret that decision down the road. Better
to just escape them.

Various architecture upgrades to support this.
Creating a BOARD now requires a valid PROJECT, which caused
some (mostly transparent) changes to the Python API internals.
ADDED: Project local settings file
CHANGED: Board design settings are no longer stored in PCB file
CHANGED: Net classes are no longer stored in PCB file
CHANGED: Importing board settings now reads boards, not just projects

Using a UTF8 char inside a C string can work on unix, but not on Windows.
It must be explicitly converted in a unicode value inside a wide string
(like a wxString)
This change completely removes the LIB_ALIAS design pattern an replaces
it by allowing LIB_PART objects to inherit from other LIB_PART objects.
The initial implementation only allows for single inheritance and only
supports the mandatory fields in the derived part because that is all
that the current symbol library file format will support. Once the new
file format is implemented and saving to the old file format is deprecated,
more complex inheritance will be added. The LIB_ALIAS information saved
in the document files was move into the LIB_PART object. This change
impacts virtually every part of the schematic and symbol library editor
code so this commit message is woefully incomplete.
REMOVE: Removed the symbol aliases concept from the schematic and symbol
editors and the symbol viewer.
NEW: Replace the symbol alias concept with simple inheritance that allows
a library symbol to be derived from another library symbol.
Previously, the background was highlighted, but not the text.
On Windows, the text was unreadable, until it was selected.
Now the foreground color is also set to the text selected color.
Replace also in lib_manager.cpp some DisplayErrorMessage calls by wxLogMessage calls,
to avoid hanging or crashes, at least on Windows.
wxLogMessage also has the advantage of grouping all messages and displaying them during a idle time.
A bug in LIB_MANAGER::LibraryExists() prevented a library removed from
the symbol library table from being removed from the tree view. Add the
proper check to SYMBOL_TREE_SYNCHRONIZING_ADAPTER::Sync().
This exposed another issue with synchronization between the library
table editor and the tree view which could lead to orphaned library
modifications and/or a segfault when the currently selected library was
removed from the symbol library table. Give the user a chance to save
or revert any changes before allowing changes to the symbol library
table.

Be more intelligent about sorting lib tree items. (Footprint
entries, for instance, come out of an already-sorted list.)
Don't recreate menus twice when laoding Footprint Editor.
More pervasive use of WX_FILENAME to avoid expensive calls to
wxFileName::SplitPath() and string concatenation.
For POSIX kernels do all the work on the file-system side so we
don't have to keep converting back and forth between encodings.
1) don't call UI-level LIB_PIN routines when reading library --
not only are they a performance hit, they set the modified flag
too
2) limit progress dialog updating to 15 times a second (this
had crept back up to 31% of the time spent loading libraries)

1) Edit Symbol gets similar fix as Place Symbol
2) progress dialog updating reduced to once every 50ms
3) SearchText gets lazy normalization
4) TypeNames get lazy translation
5) default fieldNames get translated a single time per language change
These fixes reduce first-load-time of both Edit Symbol and Place Symbol
by about 2/3, and second-load-time of Edit Symbol to near-instantaneous.
The highlight colour on some platforms (OSX, for instance)
renders nearly invisible against a white background. However,
wxWidgets doesn't handle background colours on OSX and GTK+.
A separate commit to the new kicad/wxWidgets fork fixes OSX,
and we continue to use the old highlighting on GTK+

It turns out the fastest way to update wxDataViewCtrl is to nuke the
model and rebuild it from scratch rather than via
ItemAdded()/ItemDeleted() update notifications.

Tree nodes now have an additional field 'InTree' to determine
if the view is aware of its existence. This way, there is no need
to rebuild the data structures from scratch when they need to be
filtered.
