Eeschema: Make left - bottom corner as coordinate origin per installation default

Description

Once Y axis is allowed to increase upwards (#7570 (closed)), make left - bottom corner as coordinate start. This is default in most cad apps: Altium, inkscape, photoshop, freecad.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Open fresh eeschema;
  2. Hover on left bottom corner;
  3. See that cursor is at X 0, Y 8250;
  4. Hover on left top corner;
  5. See that cursor is at X 0, Y 0;

#3 vs #5 should be inversed.

Relates to #7565 (closed), #7570 (closed), #5711 (closed), #5395.
