Using mixers on the IO side had a remote benefit of being able to
override all control surfaces with a radio remote on a fixed wing.
This ended up not being used that much and since the original design
10 years ago (2011) we have been able to convince ourselves that the
overall system stability is at a level where this marginal benefit,
which is not present on multicopters, is not worth the hazzle.

This commit adds SITL support for ignition gazebo. Ignition gazebo is a replacement for the "classic" gazebo for future applications.
The simulation can be run as the following
```
make px4_sitl ignition
```
- control allocation module with multirotor, VTOL standard, and tiltrotor support
- angular_velocity_controller
- See https://github.com/PX4/PX4-Autopilot/pull/13351 for details

Set CMAKE_RUNTIME_OUTPUT_DIR_DEBUG & _RELEASE to match
CMAKE_RUNTIME_OUTPUT_DIR as is already done in top level CMakeLists.txt.
Fixes Issue 16445 - px4-alias.sh: not found

This changes px4_task_spawn_cmd to match the NuttX task_spawn. It adds
the task name as argv[0]. See example below:
px4_task_spawn_cmd("task_name",
SCHED_DEFAULT,
SCHED_PRIORITY_DEFAULT,
1024,
(px4_main_t)&Something::start_helper,
(char *const *)argv);
with:
argv[0]: "something"
argv[1]: "start"
argv[2]: nullptr
becomes in Something::start_helper:
argv[0]: "task_name"
argv[1]: "something"
argv[2]: "start"
argv[3]: nullptr
* add basic mlock support to increase stability when system is under high load and RAM is almost full
* mainly about minimizing or completely eliminating RAM page swap time
* Add techpod SITL target
This adds a SITL target forthe techpod fixedwing model
* Update sitl_gazebo submoudle
This submodule update includes the techpod UAV model
- drivers/tone_alarm: move to ModuleBase and purge CDev (/dev/tone_alarm0)
- drivers/tone_alarm: only run on tune_control publication (or scheduled note) rather than continuously
- drivers/tone_alarm: use HRT to schedule tone stop (prevents potential disruption)
- msg/tune_control: add tune_id numbering
- systemcmds/tune_control: add "error" special case tune_id
- move all tune_control publication to new uORB::PublicationQueued<>
- start tone_alarm immediately after board defaults are loaded to fix potential startup issues
- for SITL (or other boards with no TONE output) print common messages (startup, error, etc)
* Add jsbsim bridge to enable jsbsim for px4 SITL/HIL on jsbsim
This is a PX4 HIL/SITL integration into JSBSim. JSBSim is an open source flight dynamics model (http://jsbsim.sourceforge.net/)
Currently there are three models available which is the rascal, quadrotor_x, hexarotor_x integrated into the bridge.
The simulation can be run with the firmware with the following command for example
```
make px4_sitl jsbsim_rascal
```
The visualization is done flightgear and is done by the bridge sending UDP packets to flightgear. To disable the visualization `HEADLESS=1` when running the make command.
The simulation can be configured through the configuration files under the `config` directory through a xml file. Senor configurations, The xml file name should match the name of the model.
* Update Tools/sitl_run.sh

Nuttx now supports sh and source (.)
sh will open a new process for each invocation.
This means the child can not modify the parent
env. So we must use . to matain how nuttx worked.
Since rc.vehicle_setup is used in both we use
source and alis as we did with sh.
- fix gazebo SITL debug
- now prompts you to select vehicle
- devcontainer.json container support https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/remote/containers
- this allows you to jump straight into working within a container (px4-dev-nuttx) on a fresh machine
- also helps with Codespaces https://github.com/features/codespaces
- plugin updates
- cpp extension pack, spell checking, CTest support
- cleanup intellisense
- the backup tag parser was a resource hog and didn't work very well
- fix problemMatcher support so that you can click on a build failure
