[Kicad-developers] [RFC][PATCH] import pins from CSV

I've not submitted a patch before nor really used a mailing list, so please let me know if I did something wrong. This adds a button on the component editor toolbar that prompts for a csv file, and then reads pin numbers and names and generates pins. I decided to start with something small but a
