AP_InertialSensor: add parameters for push-to-log interval and count
AP_InertialSensor: rename BAT_RAW to BAT_OPT
This becomes a bitmask of options for the BatchSampler
AP_InertialSensor: rename 'fast sample' to 'sensorrate sample'
AP_InertialSensor: const sensor-rate filter method
AP_InertialSampler: remove hard-coding of sample rate multiplier
AP_InertialSensor: use parameter to enable/disable sensor-rate logging
AP_InertialSensor: use a parameter to control sensor-rate logging
AP_InertialSensor: allow backends to override sensor data multiplier
e.g. some accelerometers are sensitive over wider ranges than the default 16G
AP_Inertialsensor: correct sample rate multiplier
FIFO sensors produce data at a well known rate, but samples come in
bunches, so we can't use the system clock to calculate deltaT.
non-FIFO sensors produce data when we sample them, but that rate is
less regular due to timing jitter.
For FIFO sensors this changes makes us use a learned sample rate,
which allows for different clock speeds on sensor and system board.
For non-FIFO sensors we use the system clock to measure deltaT
the overall effect is a fix for sensors that produce samples at other
than the claimed datasheet rate.
this allows enable/disable of fast sampling per IMU, making
experimentation easier.
It also fixes the fast sampling to always average over 8 samples, and
fixes the 9250 to use the correct accumulator when not doing fast
sampling
We only leave the parameter there for backward-compatibility. However
product id on the inertial sensor is not much useful since it's only
kept for the first instance.
A better implementation per-gyro and per-accel is needed in order to
avoid problems with sensors taking the offsets configured for another
sensor.

Due to the way the headers are organized changing a single change in an
inertial sensor driver would trigger a rebuild for most of the files in
the project. Time could be saved by using ccache (since most of the
things didn't change) but we can do better, i.e. re-organize the headers
so we don't have to re-build everything.
With this patch only AP_InertialSensor/AP_InertialSensor.h is exposed to
most users. There are some corner cases to integrate with some example
code, but most of the places now depend only on this header and this
header doesn't depend on the specific backends.
Now changing a single header, e.g. AP_InertialSensor_L3G4200D.h triggers
a rebuild only of these files:

In order to avoid confusion between sample rate from sensor and sample rate
from the frontend class (AP_InertialSensor), use "raw sample rate" to refer to
the former.
The changes in the code were basically done with the following commands:
git grep -wl _accel_sample_rates | xargs sed -i "s,\<_accel_sample_rates\>,_accel_raw_sample_rates,g"
git grep -wl _set_accel_sample_rate | xargs sed -i "s,\<_set_accel_sample_rate\>,_set_accel_raw_sample_rate,g"
git grep -wl _accel_sample_rate | xargs sed -i "s,\<_accel_sample_rate\>,_accel_raw_sample_rate,g"
git grep -wl _gyro_sample_rates | xargs sed -i "s,\<_gyro_sample_rates\>,_gyro_raw_sample_rates,g"
git grep -wl _set_gyro_sample_rate | xargs sed -i "s,\<_set_gyro_sample_rate\>,_set_gyro_raw_sample_rate,g"
git grep -wl _gyro_sample_rate | xargs sed -i "s,\<_gyro_sample_rate\>,_gyro_raw_sample_rate,g"
And also with minor changes on indentation and comments.
Delta angle calculation is now unified, so there is no need for such a method.
That also avoids developers thinking they need that method being called
somewhere in their new drivers.
The delta velocity calculation is now unified, so there is no need for such a
method. That also avoids delevopers thinking they need that method being called
somewhere in their new drivers.
Add an AuxiliaryBus class that can be derived for specific
implementations in inertial sensor backends. It's an abstract
implementation so other libraries can use the auxiliary bus exported. In
order for this to succeed the backend implementation must split the
initialization of the sensor from the actual sample collecting, like is
done in MPU6000.
When AP_InertialSensor::get_auxiliary_bus() is called it will execute
following steps:
a) Force the backends to be detected if it's the first time it's
being called
b) Find the backend identified by the id
c) call get_auxiliary_bus() on the backend so other libraries can
that AuxiliaryBus to initialize a slave device
Slave devices can be used by calling AuxiliaryBus::request_next_slave()
and are owned by the caller until AuxiliaryBus::register_periodic_read()
is called. From that time on the AuxiliaryBus object takes its ownership.
This way it's possible to do the necessary cleanup later without
introducing refcounts, that we don't have support to.
Between these 2 functions the caller can configure the slave device by
doing its specific initializations by calling the passthrough_*
functions. After the initial configuration and register_periodic_read()
is called only read() can be called.
