Awesome work here Jeff!  This is huge.

Playing around, I got a few crashes.  One was after placing an image and 
exiting but I can't seem to recreate it.  The image placement itself is 
a bit wonky so maybe the issue is in there.  It looks like the images 
don't update during placement until we zoom in/out and after placement 
they disappear when zooming again.

The other was when duplicating a subsheet.  Duplicate using right-click 
menu, then cancel without placing.  Then right-click again.  This also 
happens when we make a selection then Ctrl-D for duplicate then press 
escape to cancel and then click.

If you copy a group of subsheets with Ctrl+C, then paste with Ctrl-V, 
you get a series of rename dialogs for the subsheets and then a crash at 
the end.


Other things are smaller and shouldn't hinder merging.

- Right-click inside a subsheet should have exit sub sheet as the first 
option
- Double-click on a subsheet should enter the subsheet instead of 
editing properties
- Drag a connected resistor (G) and then press R to rotate.  The 
connected items are rotated with the resistor
- Drag a connected element (G) and then press M to move.  You get the 
element _and_ the connected items
- Rotate happens around an unknown point when you are rotating a group 
of elements.  Single element seems normal.

Thanks for taking this on Jeff!  It's an amazing bit of work you've 
committed.

Best-
Seth
