This allows us to pick GLX on X11 and EGL on Wayland
at runtime when building with wxWidgets 3.3.2+
GLEW only allowed to choose between GLX/EGL at compile time.
This also removes KICAD_USE_EGL option, KiCad will use
whatever wxWidgets was built with.
Fixes https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/-/issues/20647
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
Removes old defines and work arounds for earlier wx versions and adds a
CMake requirement to use at least 3.2 (or the minimum matching wxPython
version)
The simulator has advanced considerably, and it is seeing lots of active
development, so make it a required part of KiCad. Additionally, the
build without the simulator has actually been broken for a while, so no
one clearly is building without ngspice right now.
We shouldn't include the kicad_build_info.h outside of the wrapper
build_info.h. Also adds an error directive to prevent re-introduction
of define dependencies
Include two new pieces of information:
- Running platform
- Compiled platform (where these are different)
Additionally, we include information about the linux distribution where
it is available.

wxWidgets 3.1.5+ on Linux will compile with the Wayland EGL
canvas as the backend instead of the X11 backend. This requires a
version of GLEW compiled with the proper EGL defines and a different
header/code for certain parts that are X11 GLEW specific.
This introduces an in-tree version of GLEW that will be built with the
GLEW_EGL flag then statically linked into the KiCad executables when
EGL support is needed.
The config.h header for ngspice is not packaged with all platforms so
use pkg-config to fetch the version information when available. When
pkg-config is not available, check if the ngspice/config.h file is
installed on the system before including it to build the ngspice version
string. If neither pkg-config or ngspice/config.h is available set the
version string to "unknown".

Let cmake generate the needed version strings, so we don't
have to spend program time doing it. This simplifies the
settings manager versioning.
Also, convert some file line endings to UNIX from Windows.
A more robust fix for https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/-/issues/4015.
