MCU_Microchip_PIC18 is inconsistent #2098

While working on https://github.com/KiCad/kicad-symbols/pull/2013 I tried to find some reference by looking at similar devices. Most of the devices in the lib have at least one of those issues:

I think this is a real mess, but am not sure how to fix it. One approach would be to use something like https://github.com/erichVK5/BXL2text together with the .bxl files provided by microchip: https://www.microchip.com/development-tools/reference-designs/cad-cae-symbols Not sure about licensing, I will try to investigate.

Please see https://github.com/KiCad/kicad-symbols/issues/387. I believe a lot of the items are similar. This issue might be able to be swept into that issue, which covers all Microchip MCU libs.
