* heater: add multi-instance support, refactor parameter handling, remove legacy params file
This change introduces multi-instance heater support to allow independent temperature control for multiple IMUs.
Main changes:
- Add support for multiple heater instances
- Refactor parameter handling to use per-instance parameters
- Remove the legacy parameter file and migrate to the updated parameter structure
This improves scalability and makes heater configuration consistent across setups with multiple sensors.
* Refactor heater configuration across multiple boards
- Updated heater GPIO definitions to introduce a new naming convention for better clarity and consistency.
- Replaced `GPIO_HEATER_OUTPUT` with `GPIO_HEATER1_OUTPUT` and adjusted the corresponding output enable macros.
- Changed parameter names from `SENS_TEMP_ID` to `HEATER1_IMU_ID` in various board default configurations to reflect the new heater setup.
- Ensured all affected board configurations are updated to maintain functionality with the new heater definitions.
* heater: fix missing HEATER1_OUTPUT_EN control
* heater: fix more missing HEATER1_OUTPUT_EN control
* heater: tidy config, docs, and instance handling
- Remove unused controller period member and use CONTROLLER_PERIOD_DEFAULT
- Improve HEATER${i}_IMU_ID description and instance-related logging/behavior
- Add a guard when HEATER_NUM exceeds HEATER_MAX_INSTANCES
Note: drop intermediate/reverted change around the 'celsius' spelling.
* heater: refactor constructor to remove unused parameter and add instance name function
- Remove unused ModuleParams argument from Heater constructor
- Add heater_instance_name() helper to provide per-instance work queue task names
- Use instance-specific parameter lookup (HEATER{n}_*) during initialization
Use heater_instance_name() to label each instance (heater_1/2/3) in work queue.
Also drop unused ModuleParams argument from constructor and keep per-instance
parameter handle lookup in initialization.
* format
* board: update GPIO configuration for multiple heater instances, add HEATER_NUM for boards using PX4IO
* heater: update heater control to use HEATER1_OUTPUT_EN when using PX4IO for consistency
* heater: add a TODO for px4io multi-instance
* heater: update missing GPIO_HEATER1_OUTPUT in sky-drones
* heater: fix multiple newlines at EOF (resolve CI check failure)
* heater: switch to PublicationMulti for heater_status and log multi-instance
- Changed _heater_status_pub from Publication to PublicationMulti to support independent per-instance publications without overwriting.
- Updated logged_topics.cpp to use add_optional_topic_multi("heater_status")
This fixes the issue where multiple heater instances were writing to the same heater_status topic, causing data overwriting and incorrect update rates in logs.

* usb: Added parameter to enable always starting mavlink on USB.
Refactored cdcacm_init into a module and added a paramter to allow always starting mavlink on
USB, also added a paramter to choose the mode. The current default behavior is to wait and listen
for data on USB and auto-detect the protocol (mavlink, nsh, ublox). This results in the mavlink
stream not starting until something else on the mavlink network sends a packet first. The new
default behavior is to always start mavlink.
Added parameters
MAV_USB_ENABLE -- default 1 (always start mavlink on USB)
MAV_USE_MODE -- default 3 (onboard)
* added 3 retries for opening serial port in mavlink, removed sleep before sercon
* added DRIVERS_CDCACM_AUTOSTART to ark-v6x default.px4board
* added CONFIG_DRIVERS_CDCACM_AUTOSTART=y to default.px4board for boards with CONFIG_CDCACM in their nsh/defconfig
* format
* remove PGA460 from COMMON_DISTANCE_SENSOR to save flash
* remove LIS2MDL from COMMON_MAGNETOMETER to save flash
* disable CONFIG_DRIVERS_CDCACM_AUTOSTART for fmu-v5 protected.px4board
* moved and renamed parameters, removed mode logic in mavlink
* changed parameter names, added mode none
* remove parameters from mavlink
- during casual testing on default configs the stack was penetration was reaching ~90% which is a bit too close for comfort
- increasing by 50% to be conservative

- new modules/simulation directory to collect all simulators and related modules
- new Tools/simulation directory to collect and organize scattered simulation submodules, scripts, etc
- simulation module renamed to simulator_mavlink
- sih renamed to simulator_sih (not a great name, but I wanted to be clear it was a simulator)
- ignition_simulator renamed to simulator_ignition_bridge
- large sitl_target.cmake split by simulation option and in some cases pushed to appropriate modules
- sitl targets broken down to what's actually available (eg jmavsim only has 1 model and 1 world)
- new Gazebo consistently referred to as Ignition for now (probably the least confusing thing until we fully drop Gazebo classic support someday)
- on common IMUs like the mpu6000, mpu9250, icm20602, etc each FIFO
sample is only 12 bytes so this is still more than large enough for the
worst case transfer
This goes the other way around; arch_io_pins is using the pin
definitions from drivers_board, so the drivers_board needs to be linked
into arch_io_pins

This enables flow control on CDCACM for the NuttX boards which fixes a
problem where HITL would stall.
The stall could happen if the hardware would be a bit too slow in
keeping up with the incoming messages. Often, this happened on arming
because the logger would take some time to log all parameters right at
the beginning.
The stall would then not recover due to NuttX bug where the rx interrupt
would not be restored correctly and instead only a slower watchdog would
release the next read. This watchdog takes 200ms which means it's hard
to impossible to get out of the situation without restarting sim and/or
PX4. For more information about the issue, see:
apache/incubator-nuttx#3633
As a workaround, until that bug is fixed, and because it makes sense
anyway, I propose to enable FLOWCONTROL for the serial via USB.
- cmake NuttX build wrapper compile in place instead of copying source tree to build directory
- slightly faster skipping necessary copying (depending on system)
- allows debugging in place
- easier to work directly in NuttX following official documentation
- simplifies overall build which should make it easier to resolve any remaining NuttX dependency issues in the build system
- the downside is switching back and forth between different builds always require rebuilding NuttX, but I think this is worth the improved developer experience
- also no longer builds px4io and bootloader in every single build, for most users these rarely change and we're wasting a lot of build time
- no longer start sercon or mavlink usb by default
- on USB connection (VBUS) monitor serial USB at low rate and start Mavlink if there's a HEARTBEAT or nshterm on 3 consecutive carriage returns
- the mavlink USB instance is automatically stopped and serdis executed if USB is disconnected
- skipping Mavlink USB (and sercon) saves a considerable amount of memory on older boards
