The GL context lock needs to be shared across kifaces. Otherwise, we
can end up blocking the lock from one kiface. Unfortunately, I can't
find the issue in GitLab right now for where the footprint viewer shows
a blank screen after opening too many contexts. But that's what this
fixes.
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
PCB and footprint editors were already blocking this. Otherwise we would
get weird issues when pasting while drawing things like sheets or
textboxes that aren't selected while drawing.
Also fixes grammar and capitalisation in a few tooltips.
Also standardises some terminology, such as
"Add" vs "Draw"/"Place" and "Assignment" vs "Association".

TOOL_MENU::m_menu was unconditionally created by the TOOL_INTERACTIVE constructor, resulting in crashes if
we wanted to run the TOOLs in headless mode, e.g. in unit tests. This commits makes
the creation of the menu object dependent on Pgm::IsGui().
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

(Don't require the same text to be put into the tooltip.
It's error-prone and also disallows us from having a separate
tooltip for toolbar buttons.)

(cherry picked from commit f4a085575a)
We only allow a certain number of commands on the lists
and trim them when they overflow. PCB_BASE_EDIT_FRAME and
PL_EDITOR_FRAME implemented this correctly; SCH_EDIT_FRAME
and SYMBOL_EDIT_FRAME did not.
