Allow exporting a netlist per subsheet

Registered by Paul "LeoNerd" Evans

Sometimes I move a whole subsection of my schematic onto a subsheet to represent that it will physically live on a different PCB. With KiCad's "one schematic" => "one netlist" => "one PCB" structure it makes that hard to represent.

Since you can already just open a subsheet manually in "eeschema" directly and output a netlist just for that, it feels like a fairly small addition to the integrated toolchain to allow the "Export Netlist" button/dialog to perform that split. Instead of outputting the root + all subsheets in one long netlist, it would be nice to have multiple smaller ones to represent physical boards. I could then take each netlist through the rest of the toolchain to output the multiple board fragments of the overall design.
