The realistic styles drew every terminal of a strip with the clamp of the
layout (RealisticScrew or RealisticPushIn), whatever terminal was chosen:
a Phoenix Contact ST (spring) was drawn with screws in a screw layout.
Each entry of the terminal catalog now has its clamp: screw (Phoenix
Contact UT, Weidmüller WDU, ABB Entrelec M, Legrand Viking 3), spring
(Phoenix Contact ST) or push-in (WAGO TOPJOB S). A terminal chosen in the
catalog is drawn with its own clamp, the spring-cage ones like the push-in
ones; the clamp of the layout is kept for the other terminals, so a strip
mixing screw and spring terminals is drawn as it is.
Several terminals of the catalog have the same width (6.2 mm: Phoenix
Contact UT 4 and ST 4; 5.2 mm: WAGO 2002 and Phoenix Contact ST 2,5...).
Only the width was stored, so on reopening the first entry with that
width was shown instead of the terminal that was chosen.
- New element information terminal_catalog_entry: the label of the
terminal chosen in the catalog (e.g. "Phoenix Contact ST 4").
- Choosing a terminal also fills the manufacturer and manufacturer
reference informations (bill of materials, %{manufacturer_reference}),
only when they are empty or still hold what the previous catalog entry
wrote: a value typed by the user is never overwritten.
- Element editor: the manufacturer and the exact terminal are restored on
reopening. A width typed by hand, or stored before this change, stays a
plain width instead of taking the first terminal with the same width.
- Terminal strip editor: new "Manufacturer" combo filtering the terminals
proposed in the Width column (with the section filter); the column shows
"6,2 - Phoenix Contact ST 4", and copy/paste keeps the terminal.
Existing projects are unchanged: without the new information, only the
width is used, as before.

Extend the terminal catalog (terminalcatalog.h) with the widths of
more terminal blocks, from the catalogs of Phoenix Contact (UT),
Weidmuller (WDU), WAGO (TOPJOB S 2002/2006), ABB Entrelec (M series)
and Legrand (Viking 3). For Legrand and ABB Entrelec the value is the
pitch given by the catalog.
Each entry now carries its manufacturer, and the element properties
dialog gets a "Manufacturer" combo box before the width one. The list
of widths is filtered by manufacturer and by the selected section; if
the manufacturer has nothing for that section, all its terminals are
listed. The combo box is created by the code, no change in the .ui.
The section combo boxes of the terminal strip editor and of the
element editor now show the nearest AWG / kcmil size next to the
section in mm2, for example "2.5 mm² (AWG 14)".
The correspondence is approximate (the two systems don't have the
same steps) and is stored in TerminalCatalog::awgForSection().
The stored value is unchanged (terminal_section, in mm2).
Terminal block elements can now define, in the element properties
dialog (Terminal block element group):
- the section in mm2 (combo box with the usual sections, editable)
- the width / manufacturer reference (Weidmuller, Phoenix Contact,
WAGO, ABB Entrelec), filtered by the selected section
- the color, using the palette of the terminal strip (editable,
accepts a name, #rrggbb or #rrggbb/#rrggbb)
Values are stored in the element informations (terminal_section,
terminal_width, terminal_color) with the dot as decimal separator,
the keys already read by RealTerminal. An empty value removes the key.
The sections and the manufacturer widths move from
terminalstripmodel.cpp to the new header-only terminalcatalog.h,
shared by the terminal strip editor and the element editor.
