This adds a variable length dummy variable at the front of the EEPROM
when we erase it, which has the effect of moving the location of any
hot variables within the EEPROM. This should improve EEPROM
life. Thanks to Mike for the implementation.

when saving a variable, this avoids EEPROM wear by checking if the
existing value is already the same as the value being written, and
avoiding the write.

We were using && instead of & for a bit check. Thanks to Mike for
spotting this!

This wipes all parameter values, and also clears out any waypoints as
the waypoint format could have changed between firmware revisions.
This also ensures that the AP_Var code can't re-use any key values
from the old EEPROM state, which makes us less dependent on the old
EEPROM being in a good state

this allows you to create a local makefile like this:
include Makefile
hil:
make -f Makefile EXTRAFLAGS="-DHIL_MODE=HIL_MODE_ATTITUDE -DSERIAL3_BAUD=115200"
and then use 'make hil'

This makes PSTR() type safe by using a 1 byte wrapper
structure. Attempts to use the wrong varient of a print function will
generate a compilation error.

Fix AP_Float16 - scaling was being done in the wrong direction, and the unserialiser wasn't reporting errors.
Add test cases for the above.

It might be possible to implement a set of virtual cast operator overrides, but only float lets us return NAN to indicate that a cast can't be made, so for now we'll stick with just this one.

Note that AP_VarA arrays are still limited by the constraints on the total size of a variable (AP_Var::k_size_max).
Add a basic unit test for arrays; more are needed.

Add pseudo-constant copies of the AP_Meta_calss::Type_id for the standard AP_VarT subclasses. This makes checking the type of a possible AP_Var much cheaper than calling ::meta_cast, as there is no object con/destruction involved.
Add some helper functions for manipulating AP_Vars from Menu interfaces.

Add a non-static version of AP_Meta_class::meta_cast that can be used against any subclass object directly.
