- 4096 of 3 hex digits each for rev and ver is enough.
#defines used in SPI versions do not be long format, use use the macro
- Board provides a prefix and the formatting is sized and built in
- No need for funky board_get_base_eeprom_mtd_manifest interface
Original mft is used where the abstraction is done with the MFT interface

Move some logic from Subscriber into uORBManager. This reduces calls from the
modules to the uORB manager, improving performance in protected build.

It was a mistake to mix these two together, it is simpler to implement the boardctl interface
for the protected build, if the boardctl ioctls are different

When building uORB for NuttX flat build, or for some other target, everything
works as before.
When building uORB for NuttX protected or kernel build, this does the following:
- The kernel side uORB library reigsters a boardctl handler for calls from userspace
and services the boardctl_ioctls by calling the actual uORB functions
- For user mode binaries, the uORBManager acts as a proxy, making boardctl_ioctl calls to the
kernel side

This is the case for boards with digital readout, like v5x, but still
enable the battery_status module for external analog driver options.
An alternative would be to not run battery_status depending on config.
Since uORB is split into kernel and userspace parts, it is no longer possible to just
link uORB into px4_platform, which is used in both kernel and user side.

- Allocate and free the node name in uORBDeviceNode.
- Add protected build support by de-allocating the name with kmm_free, when
running in kernel side. strdup allocates from the kernel heap in NuttX kernel
space.
- Remove the CDev::unregister_driver_and_memory(), it is no longer used

In NuttX protected build there are separate work queues in kernel and user sides.
pthreads are only available in user side, so use tasks and kthreads for
memory protected builds.

This is more logical place for the "backend" implementation than
directly under platform.
This also allows making other implementations as "real" drivers, as well as proper configuration via Kconfigs

Don't compare pointers to metadata, but the metadata contents.
In protected/kernel build there are two sets of metadata, on on kernel
side and another in user side. Thus the comparison of pointers would just
always fail. Compare orb_id instead

Proxy all calls to the DeviceNode through Manager;
- This hides the DeviceNode from publishers and subscribers
- Manager can be made an interface class between user and kernel spaces in protected build
- This doesn't increase code size or harm the performance on flat build

Make possible to define chip-select pin for internal SPI.
By defining chip-select pin, it's possible to start specific SPI device only.
This allows to have several same type of sensors on the same bus with different orientation.
Add common functions, implemented for nuttx, and link to architecture specific libraries
Make a separate library to wrap nuttx random number generator as "os_random".

Using mixers on the IO side had a remote benefit of being able to
override all control surfaces with a radio remote on a fixed wing.
This ended up not being used that much and since the original design
10 years ago (2011) we have been able to convince ourselves that the
overall system stability is at a level where this marginal benefit,
which is not present on multicopters, is not worth the hazzle.
