* add VARIANT and VARIANT_DESC to the list of known vars in the drawing
sheet editor.
* cache variant and variant description in respective objects.
* expand the respective text variables when building the drawing sheet.
* keep the cached variant and its description up-to-date when selecting
a variant in the GUI.
* pass variant and its description to the plotters.

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 fixes all of the warnings cause by using std::weak_ptr objects when
recursing the symbol inheritance tree to retrieve the root symbol. The
issue is that the weak pointers are not guaranteed to be valid for each
recursion because the lock will go out of scope. Using a std::shared_ptr
object will ensure the lock is valid until it goes out of scope.
Also adjusts metrics to better match stroke font.
Also removes text-halo highlighting as it's too expensive to re-render
when the zoom changes.

CHANGED: The text variable ${SHEETNAME} now always represents the name of the
sheet when used anywhere in the schematic editor, including the title block
ADDED: A new text variable ${SHEETPATH} which is replaced with the path to the
current sheet - e.g. "/Sheet 1/Sheet 2".
To ensure backward compatibility, the default drawing sheet now uses
${SHEETPATH}. Custom drawing sheets will need to be manually edited.
Previously, coordinates were clamped to +- 60 inches. It makes no sense to
clamp them at plotter level: max cooed depends on the editor (schematic/board...)
Rename MAX_PAGE_SIZE_MILS to MAX_PAGE_SIZE_EESCHEMA_MILS and use it only for Eeschema.

Also makes sure that the instance fields get set for reference, value
and footprint, and not just the base SCH_FIELD.
Also makes the translations easier.

The groundwork has now been laid for per sheet instance data. Initially
this only supports sheet page numbers but could be expanded to include
other per sheet instance information.
ADDED: Support for user defined schematic page numbers.
CHANGED: GetDocumentExtents() in 'eda_draw_frame.h' now has a bool
parameter "aIncludeAllVisible" with a default value "true" which makes
it behave as it did before adding parameter. If "aIncludeAllVisible"
is false, the returned bbox ignores some items depending on which
program it is running in.
CHANGED: Made "Zoom to Objects" use only PCB edge in Pcbnew. This
allows text, notes, etc outside the PCB edge to be excluded in the
zoom calculation.
CHANGED: Added "Zoom to Objects" to Pcbnew main menu, and to RMB context
menus for Eeschema and Pcbnew.
Fixes https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/issues/5787
CHANGED: SCH_VIEW::GetItemsExtents() returns a bbox of all visible items
but ignores the page and border. It was taking invisible strings into
account when calculating the bbox, and now it doesn't. Makes "Fit to
Objects" work correctly with all components that have hidden text.
Fixes https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/issues/5726
CHANGED: The margin used in 'Zoom to Fit' is now 2% instead of 10%.
ADDED: Added 'Zoom to Objects' to Eeschema which does not include
the page and border in the bbox calculations.
CHANGED: Removed pre-existing code that tweaked the center to account
for the scrollbars. It actually made the view off center. Removing it
results in perfectly centered zooms.
Fixes https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/issues/5145
PROJECT objects will be deleted by SETTINGS_MANAGER::UnloadProject
so we need to make sure that this is called at an early enough point
in the closing process that anything needed by the PROJECT dtor
is still around.
Also fix an issue where the schematic worksheet was depending on
the project existing after the schematic had been reset.
Remove extraneous use of FLAG0 from tracks cleaner (it was checked but
never set).
Fix issue in expand connections where two parts of it couldn't agree
on the same flag (BUSY vs SKIP_STRUCT), and where the second part was
clearing the flag instead of setting it.
Remove obsolete HIGHLIGHT infrastructure (we now use selection).
Remove extraneous use of BUSY flag in several places (it was never
set).
