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.
