While the config_sitl_rcS_dir is used more extensively (and actually
only depending on the base cmake target), the variables
config_sitl_viewer and config_sitl_debugger are just used to be
passed on for the run_config target; config_sitl_debugger is even
*always* 'disable'. Hence, they don't really need to be cached
(INTERNAL or not). Before this patch FILEPATH was used instead
of INTERNAL, but I doubt very much that that was intended. That
only makes sense when cmake-gui would be used and then would pop-up
a file browser to let the user pick a file (while really they
need to pick a directory, so it's wrong either way).
The ONLY reason caching would be used is when a developer edits
the build_posix_sitl_*/CMakeCache.txt files, changes these values
and then runs cmake in the build directory again, now overriding
the values intended here. Nevertheless, I left in the caching.
The main change in this commit (that theoretically has no real effect)
is that I removed the duplicated maintenance of
posix_sitl_broadcast.cmake. When that file was added, it was an
exact copy of posix_sitl_default.cmake and is since not always
maintained to remain the same. I don't think that difference is
in anyway relevant for the broadcasting part though.
Note that I think that something like that also holds for the
posix_sitl_replay.cmake; it would be a lot better - maintenance-wise
- when it was just derived from (or the same as) posix_sitl_default,
I think.
