We can pass a list of possible binaries to find_program. This gives us a
better output while configuring:
Checking for program 'ninja, ninja-build' : /usr/bin/ninja-build
instead of:
Checking for program 'ninja' : not found
Checking for program 'ninja-build' : /usr/bin/ninja-build
If the attribute name is passed, then it is the one used to process the option
--target[s] of waf build. The board name should be used only in configuration
time. The build targets should be board/platform agnostic.
Now, instead of using `waf --target ArduCopter.sitl`, we use `waf --target
ArduCopter` and the binary continues named as "ArduCopter.sitl".
Instead of a dictionary of dictionaries, have a dictionary of
ConfigSets. Using ConfigSet have two benefits: (1) allow easily copying
values from other, (2) have syntax for specifying the keys directly as
attributes.
With this change now it's easier to specify minlure without
repetition. New boards can override a value, append or prepend depending
on the need.
DEFINES attribute is treated as a dictionary instead of a list, so
that's easier to override values (at expense of ordering). When reading
the board environment, the code converts back to a list.
The board configuration is now stored in a separate file, there's also a
function to get the boards names.
Currently, an associative array variable waf_supported_boards is used to
trigger waf build only the currently supported boards. After the transition to
the new build system is done, that variable can be removed.
We're just building for now - there is a current issue related to the rotation
for solo, and it turns out that the first unit test added as an example is for
vector rotations. After that is solved we can use waf check, so that unit tests
are run as well.
It was implemented in such a way that gtest is required only if the user wants
to build and run tests. Initially we're considering all tests should be gtests.
We can change that assumption in the future if necessary.
We're currently using the tests standard error for reporting tests. We can add
TAP later to integrate with other tools.
Additionally, this patch simplifies the exclude patterns passed to
collect_dirs_to_recurse.
The problem with using min() and max() is that they conflict with some
C++ headers. Name the macros in uppercase instead. We may go case by
case later converting them to be typesafe.

This useful when using X forwarding, as mavproxy can start to quickly, and then break the sim enviorment. If the argument isn't used there is no change in behaviour
In order to use the container infrastructure we can't use sudo to
install packages. Now Travis has a way to install packages by specifying
them in the .travis.yml. This greatly simplifies how we install the
packages and there's no need for a separate script anymore.
This also removes several outdated packages that aren't needed anymore.
