This makes PSTR() type safe by using a 1 byte wrapper
structure. Attempts to use the wrong varient of a print function will
generate a compilation error.

Fix AP_Float16 - scaling was being done in the wrong direction, and the unserialiser wasn't reporting errors.
Add test cases for the above.

It might be possible to implement a set of virtual cast operator overrides, but only float lets us return NAN to indicate that a cast can't be made, so for now we'll stick with just this one.

Note that AP_VarA arrays are still limited by the constraints on the total size of a variable (AP_Var::k_size_max).
Add a basic unit test for arrays; more are needed.

Add pseudo-constant copies of the AP_Meta_calss::Type_id for the standard AP_VarT subclasses. This makes checking the type of a possible AP_Var much cheaper than calling ::meta_cast, as there is no object con/destruction involved.
Add some helper functions for manipulating AP_Vars from Menu interfaces.

Add a non-static version of AP_Meta_class::meta_cast that can be used against any subclass object directly.

Fix prototype for AP_Var_group::serialize so that it's called correctly when saving a group. Now group load/save works.
Add load/save_all and group load/save unit tests.

- We can't count on the first EEPROM scan knowing about everything; new variables may be constructed later so be willing to go back and re-scan the EEPROM if we encounter a new variable that hasn't been loaded yet.
- Sort out where _key actually points (the variable's data) in the EEPROM and get everyone to use the same interpretation.
- Fix return values from ::save and ::load.
- Make it possible to re-save after ::erase_all by de-locating all variables before the EEPROM is blown away.
- Fix args to eeprom_read_block/eeprom_write_block so that we don't spam random memory.
Add unit tests for basic save/load operations.

Now a variable belonging to a group can safely be constructed before the group it belongs to, and the group can be destroyed before its member variables. This greatly simplifies the AP_Var constructor(s).
Remove the lookup-by-index and lookup-by-key interfaces to AP_Var and replace them with first/next interfaces for all variables, and for variables belonging to a specific group. Document their usage. Add an accessor for the key associated with a variable so that search-by-key can be performed by a consumer. Throw away the lookup cache implementation, as it's not required anymore.
Re-layout the EEPROM variable header and tweak the EEPROM space allocator so that it's more resistant to interruptions during variable save.
Fix the global constants so that they work.
Add an interface for erasing all variables in EEPROM (only writes one byte).
Fix unit tests so that they work with the changed interfaces. Also tweak the unit test framework so that it doesn't inline all its code. This is a WIP - many more tests need to be written still.

Fix the comments around AP_Meta_class::meta_cast; they were leftovers from an earlier implementation and entirely not helpful.

Rather than implementing empty default constructors, make sure that AP_Var and friends have useful default constructors instead. This works around AP_Meta_class::meta_cast requiring a default constructor without having empty ctors scattered around.
Add accessors to AP_Var so that the global variable list can be traversed and the group/variable relationship comprehended by outsiders.

The format is a simple TLV format; a tag identifying the variable, a length for the variable, and then the actual data. This format could ultimately be extended to include waypoint/commands as well.
This allows us to load and save groups of variables to EEPROM without having to have a static EEPROM map.
Still needs unit tests and (probably) bugfixing.

This is a partial workaround for not being able to use PSTR at global scope, e.g. in an argument to a constructor; it makes the intent of the otherwise somewhat bulky declaration of the string more obvious.

Add a variant of AP_Float that stores the value as Q5.10 (16-bit fixed-point) to save EEPROM space.

AP_Vars with either a name or an address are 'interesting' (the latter so we can save_all).
Add the concept of address offsets to scopes. Now we have a container that we can put AP_Vars into that can be moved around in the EEPROM. This will make it easier for things like the PID library which need to support multiple instances getting their parameters from different parts of the ROM.
Improve documentation.
Suck it up and admit that we aren't going to do "identity"-based addressing for the EEPROM and just call the property "address".

- Add a default ctor/dtor pair. The dtor ensures that all dtors are virtual, and guarantees that there is something in the dtor vtable slot for classes that don't implement their own.
- serialize must not alter the class, mark it const
- Improve documentation
- Fix handle validation to prevent trying to read 2 bytes beyond the end of memory
