This changes the way item types, item fields, creator types, and CSL
mappings are defined and handled, in preparation for updated types and
fields.
Instead of being predefined in SQL files or code, type/field info is
read from a bundled JSON file shared with other parts of the Zotero
ecosystem [1], referred to as the "global schema". Updates to the
bundled schema file are automatically applied to the database at first
run, allowing changes to be made consistently across apps.
When syncing, invalid JSON properties are now rejected instead of being
ignored and processed later, which will allow for schema changes to be
made without causing problems in existing clients. We considered many
alternative approaches, but this approach is by far the simplest,
safest, and most transparent to the user.
For now, there are no actual changes to types and fields, since we'll
first need to do a sync cut-off for earlier versions that don't reject
invalid properties.
For third-party code, the main change is that type and field IDs should
no longer be hard-coded, since they may not be consistent in new
installs. For example, code should use `Zotero.ItemTypes.getID('note')`
instead of hard-coding `1`.

If a parent item was expanded and all items in the tree, including the
item's child items, were selected, Cmd + Left Arrow would break the
items tree until restart.
This will cause a conflict and need to be applied to the new tree.
(Worth noting that collapseSelectedRows() is currently only called on
Cmd-left-arrow because the XUL tree seemingly swallows a regular
left-arrow (and only applies the collapse to the last-selected row). The
comment in the keypress listener where collapseSelectedRows() is called
suggests that that was meant to be used for all left-arrow keypresses,
but either that stopped working at some point or it only ever worked for
Cmd + Left Arrow because it bypasses the normal tree handling of left-
arrow. In any case, it would be better if left-arrow always collapsed
selected rows, with or without Cmd.)

- Check for retracted items using data from Retraction Watch
- Show an X next to retracted items in the items list, and show a
scary message at the top of the item pane with more info and links.
- Lookup is done in a privacy-preserving manner using k-anonymity --
the server is unable to determine the specific items that exist in
the client, so people who don't sync don't need to share any library
data (though the server doesn't log the lookups anyway).
TODO:
- Pop up an alert when new items are found
- Show a confirmation prompt when citing a retracted item
- Support items without DOIs or PMIDs
- Add a proper PMID field and expand DOI to more item types so these
values don't need to be parsed out of Extra
- Clear the banner immediately when all possible fields are cleared
instead of waiting a few seconds
This adds selectItems() to ZoteroPane and collectionTreeView and removes
the ancient, unused 'expand' argument to selectItem(), which didn't
really make sense there. It also includes a new
itemTreeView::ensureRowsAreVisible() that tries to scroll to an
appropriate place (or, better yet, not scroll at all) given the
specified rows and page size.
- Added icon-button UI code for the menubutton
- Upgrade to React 16 to allow non-standard attrs, such as `tooltiptext`
to support XUL tooltips
- Add i18n support for React UI elements
- Update tests for reactified tag selector
Applies to dragging to the collections pane or the items pane, adding

If the renaming pref is enabled, the PDF is renamed after recognition.

Closes#917
Automatic renaming is now done for dragging of an external file onto an
item (as added in 7cb95f41) as well as dragging as a linked file,
dragging a non-native (not text or HTML) URL, "Attach Link to File…",
"Attach Stored Copy of File…", and "Retrieve Metadata for PDF". It only
applies if a single file is being added and if the parent item has no
non-HTML attachments. By default, the renaming only applies to PDFs, but
this can be changed with the renameAttachmentFiles.automatic.fileTypes
hidden pref.
A new General pref, "Automatically rename attachment files using parent
metadata", controls whether the renaming happens.
Files saved via web translators are renamed regardless of this pref,
because they would often be gibberish otherwise.
Closes#113
When an item is created, an active quick search is cleared, but that's
now an async operation. We weren't waiting for that, which meant that
new items weren't selected and depending on a race condition could even
show the welcome pane despite there being items in the library.
This might help avoid the search bar brokenness that people are seeing
(and that we can't reproduce), though the same problem might just cause
a later error.
This is (hopefully) a better fix for selection issues than 2901174ba3. A
reference to the collectionTreeView is stored in a `view` property on
the collectionTreeRow, and when an itemTreeView is initialized and
passed a collectionTreeRow it assigns itself to an `itemTreeView`
property on the row's view.
Shows a progress meter, which allows for larger chunks and fewer
refreshes, avoids unnecessary updating of parent items that are
being deleted anyway, and skip re-sorting of modified items in the
trash.
Closes#1292, Emptying trash is slow
2addf6b27b fixed the date order used when automatic locale detection was
enabled, but this fixes the format (e.g., dots instead of slashes). It
should now match the item pane. I'm not sure why we weren't doing this
before, but hopefully we didn't have a good reason.
