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
This breaks the following functions out to a general-purposed refdes utils
header:
* MODULE::GetReferencePrefix()
* kicad_string.h RefDesStringCompare()
This acheives:
* Slimming of MODULE interface
* Placement of refdes code in common rather than pcbnew
** Testing of this code in qa_common
* Tighter and smaller includes for code that only needed refdes functions
Note: there are failing tests commited (as expected failures). These
are the cause of lp:1813669 and will be fixed as a follow-up commit.
File "rules" has instructional text as comments near top.
2) Convert all text files in repo to LF line ending form.
Any checkout done with "rules" in play will convert the working
tree to native line ending, while keeping repo as LF line ending.
* support for 3 terminal regulators
* add a data file management to store parameters for regulators ( name, vref value, Iadj value, type)
Needs some refinements, but it is already very useable.
