This allows each sensor to be uniquely identified in the system by using
either the index inside the backend or for those that use the Device
interface, to use the bus type, location, and device id.
We leave 16-bit for each sensor to be able to change its own
identification in future, which allows them to be changed in an
incompatible manner forcing a re-calibration.
When we are initializing the gyro and then saving the calibration we are
also saving the calibration values for the accelerometers. Right now
this is non-problematic, but we want to check that the ID of the
accelerometer corresponds to the ID of the sensor detected. If we also
save accel calibrations we would actually override the ID of the
accelerometer.
Rename the method to _save_gyro_calibration() and save only on gyro
values.
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.

Notify users of the potential for velocity noise when using larger offset values..
Specific advice in terms of values has not been provided because it is highly dependent on Gyro noise levels.
- Use "INS_" prefix for the name in order to limit the scope for that macro.
- Don't define it in the code and check if it is defined instead of checking
the value. With that, there's no need to touch the code for enabling debug,
only a reconfiguration is necessary (e.g., `CXXFLAGS='-DINS_TIMING_DEBUG' waf
configure ...`).
The reason of defining BMI160_MAX_FIFO_SAMPLES as 8 can be found on the
following histogram of the number of samples in the FIFO on each read while
performing the accelerometer calibration process:

The new function can deal with a variable number of function parameters.
Additionally, I renamed the functions to norm(), because this is the
standard name used in several other projects.
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:
