Layout is remembered for Schematic/Symbol Editors and Footprint Chooser frames until KiCad restarts
Also Added a new button toggle to show/hide the description panel with some new images too

FlatHub uses org.kicad.KiCad and everyone else uses org.kicad.kicad,
which leads to two entries in the Gnome Software search list for kicad.
To unify this into one entry, have each just provide the other app ID to
link them together.
Adds a new grid override icon. In the process, I noticed that the other
grid icons were not pixel aligned. So this also updates all of the grid
icons to align the points
Grr... appstream-util will error in strict mode for unknown tags and it
has no way of getting new tag information because there is no DTD
published. Just a flippin C-lang program that will "validate" your
file. So awesome that they are using XML! Definitely the best
representation when you are going to hard-code your requirements, not
version your data
This icon was only used for auto-starting a wire, which was
inconsistent with auto-starting a bus or graphic line.
Also the plus sign is a little confusing as it could also be
interpreted as the origin marker (which is really bottom left),
which is also plus-shaped.
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
Use grey for the main item, remove the endpoint circles.
Keep the blue highlight for the control handle line
(which is technically not where it goes on a single
bezier, but it is simpler that way).

ADDED: Add support in Pcbnew for exporting ODB++ files under Fabrication
Outputs, base on ODB++Design Format Specification (Release v8.1
Update 3 February 2021).
Note: There is still a lot of work to do if we will make the feature as
complete as the ODB++ spec. However, the current functionality's
completeness is already sufficient to cover general production
scenarios. I have compared the output results with Gerber files by
DFM tool and the accuracy at the graphic level should be able to
cover most usage scenarios. Additionally, I am very grateful to
the great open-source project Horizon EDA for giving me a lot of
inspiration in terms of ideas.
The feature can be enabled by adding "EnableODB=1" to the kicad_advanced
configuration file.

The commit 16de0a66 should have added these icons in list, but unfortunately
they are missing, thus creating a broken (missing entries) auto-generated file
bitmap_info.cpp when rebuilding png icons.
This splits the tool into two separate tools: by center and
by even gaps. Previously, this was automatically decided, based on
if the items could have any gaps between them. This was unintuitive
as it would appear to arrange by centre point sometimes but not others.
When items aren't all the same width, the results can then be very
different, based only on the starting positions.
The new behaviour is to have a dedicated tool for each, which echos
how graphical programs like Inkscape manage this.
The by-gaps method is then extended to work for overlapping items
(when items overlap, the overlaps are made equal). The logic is
centralised in kimath/geometry, and some QA is added. This should
make it easier to extend to eeschema, for example.
This also (attempts to) address some rounding issues which could
cause minor, but compounding, errors to build up along the list
of items.
Also, fix bugs in the collection filtering - previously items
like markers were filtered out only after the selection size
was used to compute the gaps between items.
ADDED: Horizontal/vertical zoom for simulator plots, via mouse wheel,
toolbar buttons, menu commands, and hotkeys.
ADDED: Simulator preferences panel, populated with mouse wheel
and trackpad settings that control pan and zoom of simulator plots.
ADDED: Zoom In/Out Horizontally/Vertically commands that can be bound
to hotkeys.
CHANGED: Simulator plot scroll wheel gestures are no longer hard-coded
and can now be configured via the new Simulator preferences panel.

Other unreported bugs that were fixed:
- Fixed wierd, jumpy simulator plot view limiting behavior.
- Fixed Zoom In Center and Zoom Out Center commands not preserving
the simulator plot center point.
- Fixed simulator plot nudging when exported as PNGs.
- Fixed rectangular selection zoom being able to exceed simulator plot
view limits.
Notes:
- Provided new SIM_PREFERENCES struct to be used for future
simulator preferences set via the simulator preferences dialog.
- Bundled pre-existing EESCHEMA_SETTINGS::SIMULATOR settings into
EESCHEMA_SETTINGS::SIMULATOR::VIEW.
- Replaced mpWindow::EnableMouseWheelPan with more general
SetMouseWheelActions.
- Refactored and tidied up wxMathPlot's mpWindow code involved with
fitting, zooming, and panning.
- Consolidated long lists of duplicated member variable initializers to
a new mpWindow private delegated constructor.
- Provided provisional Zoom In/Out Horizontally/Vertically toolbar
icons that need improvement by a graphics designer.
- Provided gitignore entries for the Qt Creator IDE
Resolved the differences between light and dark modes.
Unified the style with the teardrops panel.
Reduced size to 156px tall
Added HiDPI version
Aligned the start/end tracks vertically
Radius is measured to centerline for single
Radius is measured to midpoint between diff pairs
Spacing is measured to interior track centerline
Amplitude is measured to interior track centerline
Make sure that 'w' is on the minor axis of the pad attachment
Change track ends to "wave" denoting that they continue
Standardize size for each at 275x130px
Add 2x HiDPI version
Sizes were too large on many systems. Revised panel uses 615px on Linux
instead of 742. Adjusted line sizes to remain minimum visible width at
new height.
