That fixed compilation issues and seems more semantically correct. Using array
of length 0 fails compilation because of -Werror=array-bounds in GCC 6.1.
We actually don't want a flexible array in this union, but rather a way
to access it byte by byte. This fixes the build for gcc >= 6

Due to the way the headers are organized a single change in a
AP_GPS backend would trigger a rebuild for most of the files in the
project. Time could be saved by using ccache (since most of the things
didn't change) but we can do better, i.e. re-organize
the headers so we don't have to re-build everything.
This makes internal headers internal and then other libraries only
depend on the AP_GPS.h header.
The ublox driver will now continuosly poll for the settings from the GPS and correct any that are found to be in correct.
This status is then reported to the arming library as an additional arming check, allowing the user to be sure that the
gps is correctly configured before using it. If a user has a GPS2 configured that is not present they will fail the arming
checks until after they have disabled the second GPS.
2 new parameters were introduced as well:
-GPS_AUTO_CONFIG: Will not request any configuration packets to attempt to change them. (If the packet is recieved then
a update will be sent to it, but in testing this scenario never occured. This is set to 1 or 0 to change the setting.
(Defaults to 1 enabling auto config)
-GPS_GNSS_MODE2: Behaves the same way as GPS_GNSS_MODE but only applies to the second GPS.
GPS drivers are now allowed 2 seconds of non responsiveness before being unloaded
Remove the checks for HAL_CPU_CLASS > HAL_CPU_CLASS_16 and
HAL_CPU_CLASS >= HAL_CPU_CLASS_75. Corresponding dead code will be
removed on separate commits.
This commit changes the way libraries headers are included in source files:
- If the header is in the same directory the source belongs to, so the
notation '#include ""' is used with the path relative to the directory
containing the source.
- If the header is outside the directory containing the source, then we use
the notation '#include <>' with the path relative to libraries folder.
Some of the advantages of such approach:
- Only one search path for libraries headers.
- OSs like Windows may have a better lookup time.
Provides a stable fallback, and can be considered fairly safe from the perspective that it provides a worse value then the hDOP under almost all scenarios.
Ublox 7 and 8 seires use a UBX-CFG-GNSS message to enable satellite constellations. The default value does not enable any additional ones, and any constellations the reciever doesn't report knowing about are not configured.
Remove race condition on sending intial blob to the GPS, it was possible to send a blob that got the GPS configured enough to allow the autodetect to take over (and then some drivers like ublox would not finish sending the blob, which has potential details that the driver might have needed to send)
Limit the delay to checking for NMEA gps to only checking after all the available baud rates have been checked
Since a UBlox will actually report having DGPS (due to SBAS or RTCM data) actually report this as the highest supported mode
This is a complete rewrite of the GPS driver structure, with a static
main driver and separate backend drivers. This will allow proper
support for multiple GPSes, and will allow parameters to be set on the
GPS object
this gives us noise, jamming and RF information from the uBlox
protocol. This will hopefully allow a more detailed investigation of
antenna choices and RF interference
if the GPS is giving us data at less than 300ms intervals then re-send
the configuration messages to try to kick it into the right rates
