- new modules/simulation directory to collect all simulators and related modules
- new Tools/simulation directory to collect and organize scattered simulation submodules, scripts, etc
- simulation module renamed to simulator_mavlink
- sih renamed to simulator_sih (not a great name, but I wanted to be clear it was a simulator)
- ignition_simulator renamed to simulator_ignition_bridge
- large sitl_target.cmake split by simulation option and in some cases pushed to appropriate modules
- sitl targets broken down to what's actually available (eg jmavsim only has 1 model and 1 world)
- new Gazebo consistently referred to as Ignition for now (probably the least confusing thing until we fully drop Gazebo classic support someday)
- 4096 of 3 hex digits each for rev and ver is enough.
#defines used in SPI versions do not be long format, use use the macro
- Board provides a prefix and the formatting is sized and built in
- No need for funky board_get_base_eeprom_mtd_manifest interface
Original mft is used where the abstraction is done with the MFT interface

internal PX4IO safety_off state is removed and replaced with a normal safety button event. From this 'commit' commander is taking care of the PX4IO safety.

- most px4_io-v2 boards have a blue LED that breathes for status
- the pixhawk 2.1 (hex) re-used this blue LED for as an IMU heater (active low), but kept the same board id (so we have to detect at runtime)
- the new cubepilot boards (yellow, orange) inverted the polarity of this heater pin
- untangle the mess slightly so that things we know statically (eg cubepilot cubeorange LEDs and heater polarity) are handled at build time.
- previously an invalid decode would continue to be transferred to the FMU (at 50 Hz) and published to the rest of the system as successfully decoded new RC data
- by only publishing new successful decodes we can more effectively discard invalid data in downstream consumers
This goes the other way around; arch_io_pins is using the pin
definitions from drivers_board, so the drivers_board needs to be linked
into arch_io_pins

known issues:
- flash-based params does not work on H7 (due to ECC), so params are on
SD card. The last flash sector is still reserved however.
- output channel 6 does not support DShot (the implementation does not
handle channel gaps)
- flashing of the 2. flash bank is much slower (around 3x), than the 1.
bank for some unknown reason.
- after the BL jumps to the app, there's several seconds passing until
stm32_boardinitialize() is called.
This enables flow control on CDCACM for the NuttX boards which fixes a
problem where HITL would stall.
The stall could happen if the hardware would be a bit too slow in
keeping up with the incoming messages. Often, this happened on arming
because the logger would take some time to log all parameters right at
the beginning.
The stall would then not recover due to NuttX bug where the rx interrupt
would not be restored correctly and instead only a slower watchdog would
release the next read. This watchdog takes 200ms which means it's hard
to impossible to get out of the situation without restarting sim and/or
PX4. For more information about the issue, see:
apache/incubator-nuttx#3633
As a workaround, until that bug is fixed, and because it makes sense
anyway, I propose to enable FLOWCONTROL for the serial via USB.
- cmake NuttX build wrapper compile in place instead of copying source tree to build directory
- slightly faster skipping necessary copying (depending on system)
- allows debugging in place
- easier to work directly in NuttX following official documentation
- simplifies overall build which should make it easier to resolve any remaining NuttX dependency issues in the build system
- the downside is switching back and forth between different builds always require rebuilding NuttX, but I think this is worth the improved developer experience
- also no longer builds px4io and bootloader in every single build, for most users these rarely change and we're wasting a lot of build time
* ekf2: make publishing of learned accel biases more robust
* ekf2: reset accel bias if calibration updated
* msg: add separate accel and gyro calibration counters
* ekf2: use separate accel and gyro calibration counters
* ekf2: rework logic to reset biases when calibration counters increment
* sensors: add saving of learned accel biases
* ekf2: generalized saving accel/gyro/mag in flight sensor calibration
* boards: holybro kakutef7 disable systemcmds/perf and systemcmds/top to save flash

- no longer start sercon or mavlink usb by default
- on USB connection (VBUS) monitor serial USB at low rate and start Mavlink if there's a HEARTBEAT or nshterm on 3 consecutive carriage returns
- the mavlink USB instance is automatically stopped and serdis executed if USB is disconnected
- skipping Mavlink USB (and sercon) saves a considerable amount of memory on older boards
