Bug Description
Please add pins-swap and gate-swap functions. For instance, on a 7400 quad NAND gate chip, there are 4 separate gates, all identical. It may ease routing to use gate C instead of gate A, but that's not how the schematic is drawn. pcbnew already has the concept of separate gates, but doesn't have a simple way of swapping them; you have to change the schematic and re-import it to pcbnew. This should be a one-click operation.

Verymuch so also for pinswapping the ends of discrete components like resistors/ caps/inductors. While it may not make much of a difference, it adds to the aesthetic neatness of a layout if all the resistors in an area are lined up neatly, with the references all on the same side. Without the ability to pinswap you often end up with some resistors around the wrong way, so their references are on the other side.
