Spice Diode & Source fixups

Graham Keeth requested to merge gkeeth/kicad-symbols:spice-improvements into master

As discussed:

  • add ac=1 to VSIN
  • add ac and vac keywords to VSIN
  • hide sim properties for Device:D and Diode:* symbols
  • change any 0mil-sized text to 50mil
  • PWL I/V sources were raw spice elements, so I reconfigured them to be PWL I/V sources for nicer UX. The AM/FM sources are still raw spice elements because the spice model editor doesn't seem to support AM/FM modulated I/V sources.
  • added dummy 1V DC model to B-source
  • changed dependent source datasheets to point to ngspice docs
  • some dependent source label adjustments

considered but decided against:

  • remove 0 symbol from Simulation_SPICE because ngspice converts GND to 0 automatically
