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.

Trim is now called again on pitch and roll, now that trimming can be done with adc_offsets. Fixed setup::motors for x frame.

no roll and pitch input means no change. Flicking will still update the throttle cruise value. Please check I have the signs correct!!!

This makes it possible to move one resistor on the APM board and feed it PPM directly from a receiver emitting a PPM stream.

- disable NMEA autodetection; false positives are still a risk
- trim down the console output to a minimum; we still need something to help users diagnose potential problems, but the old output was much too verbose
- rather than block forever, only do one autodetect pass for each ::read call. That's still too long (five seconds or so) but better than blocking forever.
- don't block forever if no GPS is attached.

This can make re-opening a port faster (as the free/malloc pair can be avoided) and possibly more robust (in the case where e.g. the heap has been corrupted).

Tweaked the nav pitch and roll commands to no longer use bearing error.
Angle boost is now a lot less thrust. I was getting too much added thrust when pitched at 45°

Added an init string for SiRF receivers that will bring them back out of the binary mode configuration that AP_GPS_Auto sets them to.
Picked up the GPS logging format from the AP_GPS_Auto test.

Major new features:
- No RAM buffer for the NMEA message being parsed; saves 120 bytes of RAM.
- More robust parser, a little less likely to be confused by bad messages.
- Added configuration strings for SiRF, ublox and MediaTek GPS in NMEA mode to select just the messages of interest.
Note that the issue that TinyGPS has with co-ordinates with "different" numbers of decimal digits is addressed in this code.
Size is comparable to the old parser.
