Previously we stopped the simulation to ensure parameter changes are
applied to the simulated vehicle. We can now reboot the simulated
autopilot, so these patches make use of those changes.
One big advantage is that the --gdb option is in play for the applying
of the parameters to the vehicle.
Now that we don't panic() on unknown parameters, we can boot even with
wrong parameters. This brings the default parameters of aerofc to be up
to date.
The following parameters were not removed and will be warned:
WPNAV_LOIT_JERK
WPNAV_LOIT_MAXA
WPNAV_LOIT_MINA
WPNAV_LOIT_SPEED
There are no clear substitute for those, so they are staying until we
know if they should be renamed/changed/removed.
Do not warn about unknown parameters on the first pass, i.e. when
AP_Param:load_all() is called. This is because we may still not know
about dynamically loaded parameters. When we call the second (last)
time, we expect to already know all possible parameters, so print a
warning to both console and the debug terminal.
Our track record on keeping parameters up to date with master is not
great and panic()'ing when loading them apparently is not helping
because every and each vehicle has a different file.
On aerofc load_defaults_file() is used in the same way as
load_embedded_param_defaults() is in which the panic() behavior has been
previously removed.
This finishes the removal of the panic param and add warnings to the
debug console when reading the parameters (rather than when counting
them).
