This adds a new protocol extension which allows to get the bootloader
version.
The bootloader version is different from the bootloader protocol
revision which has stabilized at 5 and is not easy to update unless a
bootloader is actually breaking the protocol. The reason being that both
the Python script as well as the uploader used in QGC will not attempt
to load firmware if they don't know the bootloader version, so it could
basically be considered a "breaking" protocol revision.

If the STM32H7 fails to program or erase a full chunk of 256 bytes, the
ECC check will trigger a busfault when trying to read from it.
To speed up erasing and optimize wear, we read before erasing to check
if it actually needs erasing. That's when a busfault happens and the
erase time outs.
The workaround is to add an option to do a full erase without check.

And the protocol option added to the bootloader is the same as for
ArduPilot, so compatible.

* 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
* Made Serial API open the UART in NON BLOCKING mode
* Updated voxl_esc driver to latest from ModalAI fork
* Ported voxl_esc driver over to new Serial UART API
* Removed voxl_esc serial abstraction since new Serial API is already a serial abstraction
* Added decoy termios support to Qurt so that ghst parser in RC library can be used. No termios is actually needed but has to be there for the parser to work
- Added an empty constructor, setPort, and validatePort functions for Serial API
- Changed GPS to not allocate Serial object dynamically
- Moved access check on serial port name into the Serial API
- Improved the Qurt platform validatePort Serial function to implement a more rigorous check. Added safety check
to the setPort Serial function to make sure it isn't called after the port has been already opened.
- Added offset to Posix hrt time to account for synchronization with Qurt hrt time
- Added new Kconfig to configure synchronization of HRT timestamps on VOXL2
- Moved voxl2 libfc sensor library submodule from muorb module to boards directory
- Added check to make sure hrt_elapsed_time can never be negative
The voxl2 has a split architecture. PX4 runs on a posix platform and a Qurt platform. The two communicate uorb topics back and forth with the muorb module. But each has it's own parameters database and they need to stay in sync with each other. This PR adds support to keep the 2 parameter databases in sync. The main parameters database running on Linux has file system support while the Qurt one does not. The Linux side is considered the primary and the Qurt side is considered the remote.
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
