* Commander: make low remaining flight time configurable and do not clear
- add _ACT param to disable/warning/RTL this feature
- publish rtl flight time estimate also in RTL, and thus fix re-validation
- make failure message clearer, distinguish from battery low
* battery check: add hysteresis for declaring battery_low_remaining_time false again

Previously uORB queue size was an awkward mix of runtime configurable (at advertise or IOCTL before allocate), but effectively static with all queue size settings (outside of test code) actually coming from the topic declaration (presently ORB_QUEUE_LENGTH in the .msg). This change finally resolves the inconsistency making the queue size fully static.
Additionally there were some corner cases that the muorb and orb communicator implementation were not correctly handling. This PR provides fixes for those issues. Also correctly sets remote queue lengths now based on the topic definitions.
* Made setting of uORB topic queue size in based on topic definition only
* Fixes to the ModalAI muorb implementation
* Removed libfc sensor from format checks
* msg/TransponderReport.msg ORB_QUEUE_LENGTH 8->16 (was set to higher in AdsbConflict.h

* events: pass relative paths plus base path to source parser script
to work around maximum Makefile command lenght limits.
* events: correct cmake comment typo

- do reporting of breaching in-air only in geofenceCheck
- remove geofence_violation_reason_t
- replace geofence_breached field in GeofenceResult.msg with 3 fields
(one for each GF type: max dist, max alt, custom geofence)
- the warning message after breaching a GF is only done by Commander,
and it's specific to the GF type failure

Events have a global, system-wide sequence number, which must be handled
atomically, (fetching and incrementing the sequence AND sending the event
to uORB must be atomic). Currently in FLAT mode, only one instance of this
sequence number exists, so it is OK to have it in px4_platform.
However, in PROTECTED mode px4_platform is instantiated both in kernel-
and user spaces, which makes two instances of this sequence number, which
causes problems in the mavlink event handling logic.
When mavlink receives and handles events, it expects that:
- The sequence numbers arrive in order (seq n is followed by n+1 etc)
- It increments by 1
- There is only one instance of the sequence number
In PROTECTED mode this is violated, as the kernel and user sequence
numbers run freely on their own. This patch fixes the issue by moving
the event backend to the kernel and by providing user access to it via
ioctl.

- add GPS validity check
- in AUTO MISSION if dependent on GPS then a loss of GPS will
The arming button required some refactoring in order to support to
toggle arm/disarm using the vehicle_command. Otherwise manual_control
would have to subscribe to the arming topic and we would spread out the
logic again, and risk race conditions.
Only needed for Makefile-based builds:

- sending protocol
- uorb event message & template methods for argument packing
- libevents submodule to send common events and handle json files
- cmake maintains a list of all (PX4) source files for the current build
(PX4 modules + libs), which is used to extract event metadata and
generate a json file
