Murilo Belluzzo c7a65a026c AP_HAL_PX4: UARTDriver: Make use of ByteBuffer class
This patch replaces the 'old style' ringbuffer by the ByteBuffer class.
An effort was made to keep the exchange as close as possible from a
drop-in replacement to minimize the risk of introducing bugs.

Although the exchange opens opportunities for improvement and
simplification of this class.

Brad Bosch 6e9756ff79 HAL_PX4: Rework support for FLOW_CONTROL_AUTO.
Now instead of requiring the buffer to fill completely before we can
detect it is not draining, we use a time based mechanism to detect
when none of the first few bytes are transmitted after sitting in our
buffer a half second or more after flow control is enabled.  This
huristic is reliable only for the first several chracters because we
believe that the radio must still have plenty of room in it's own
buffers at that time even if it is not able to transmit them to the
other radio yet.  Note that the original algorithm made the same
assumption.

The new algorithm is especially helpful for cases where only keepalive
messages are transmitted before other packets can be requested by the
GCS.  In this situation, the original code required almost 2 minutes
to disable flow control and allow communication with the GCS.

Gustavo Jose de Sousa 08333f1ffe AP_HAL_PX4: standardize inclusion of libaries headers
This commit changes the way libraries headers are included in source files:

 - If the header is in the same directory the source belongs to, so the
 notation '#include ""' is used with the path relative to the directory
 containing the source.

 - If the header is outside the directory containing the source, then we use
 the notation '#include <>' with the path relative to libraries folder.

Some of the advantages of such approach:

 - Only one search path for libraries headers.

 - OSs like Windows may have a better lookup time.

Matthias Badaire 1d3a49e466 AP_HAL_PX4 : make UARTDriver capable to be called from different threads.
The modification allows the read and write functions to be called by any thread but the calling thread must be the last one that called the begin() function.

Andrew Tridgell f72b532405 HAL_PX4: ensure all writes go via buffers

Andrew Tridgell 6ffa18fa61 HAL_PX4: rewrite UART driver to be much more efficient
this does the IO in the timer thread, and uses buffers in the main
task to avoid system call costs in the flight code.

The cost of PX4 read and write system calls is quite high - about 10
to 15 usec. We can't afford to pay that per byte

Andrew Tridgell 546ed19ffc HAL_PX4: improved efficiency of serial writes
use buffer at a time writes when possible, and use O_NONBLOCKING to
avoid txspace()

Andrew Tridgell 18cfd29f2f HAL_PX4: added a read buffer to the UART driver
this lowers the average cost of reading bytes by a large amount, and
prevents the GPS driver from chewing lots of time.

anyway
