I admit I'm getting self-indulgent here, this request is definitely a
bit "what Chris would do if made Dictator of KiCad", but... just testing
the waters here:

What do people think about, for either the 5.0 or 6.0 release, ditching
the old application names, in favor of everything being one tool under
the "KiCad" roof:

Eeschema    -> Schematic editor
Pcbnew      -> PCB editor, or Layout editor, or Board editor
Cvpcb       -> "Assign Footprints"
Pl Editor   -> Title block editor
Bitmap2Component    -> Remove as independent app, make "Import image" in
                       libedit and modedit

I know this one is going to be controversial, but I don't really see the
point of these old names. They're... weird. Cvpcb - what does that even
mean? :P
