DrZiplok e2f15b3b97 Move the Test unit test framework out into its own header, so that it can be used by other libraries.
Add some documentation explaining how it is used.

DrZiplok@gmail.com 8de4cc56da Improve performance when saving a number of variables that don't have space allocated in the EEPROM. This avoids scanning the entire EEPROM every time a variable that has not yet had space allocated is written.

DrZiplok@gmail.com 82fdeb11bb Fix ::save_all/::load_all so that they check the correct criteria for opt-out. Now load/save_all work.
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.

DrZiplok@gmail.com 3adec05593 Fixes for EEPROM space allocation and mapping.
- 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.

DrZiplok@gmail.com 1a2ce433e1 I never liked the plan that variable groups could only be statically scoped; it was much too fragile. These changes address that issue by splitting the global variable list into two lists, one for standalone variables (including groups), and one for variables that are members of a group.
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.

DrZiplok@gmail.com 8317c090da Add a templated version of AP_Meta_class::meta_type_id so that you can get a type ID for any named type without having to have an instance of the type lying around. Update the comments about caching type IDs to reflect its availability.
Fix the comments around AP_Meta_class::meta_cast; they were leftovers from an earlier implementation and entirely not helpful.

DrZiplok@gmail.com 6cf396074b Implement the missing AP_Var_group::*serialize functions.
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.

DrZiplok@gmail.com d53844c52d Implement a pure data serialisation load/save model for AP_Var.
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.
