Allow to specify if "Library Browser" or "Choose Symbol/Footprint" is default (lp:#1813880)
Original report created by Thomas Pointhuber (pointhi)
At the moment we have 2 different ways to select footprints (as well as
symbols). The behaviour is not unified, in fact some dialog uses different
dialogs by default. Users can switch to the other dialog manually, but it
would be a good idea to keep a consistent default.
Personally, I prefer "Choose Footprint" which looks like the symbol
chooser, and allows to filter.
