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.

This is in no way a complete test suite but is intended as a starting point to get minimal
test coverage for CLI handling tests in. This is necessary to QA the CLI handling
(e.g. removal of commands) and to ensure that we are exercising these code paths in
stack check and alike tests.
- drivers/tone_alarm: move to ModuleBase and purge CDev (/dev/tone_alarm0)
- drivers/tone_alarm: only run on tune_control publication (or scheduled note) rather than continuously
- drivers/tone_alarm: use HRT to schedule tone stop (prevents potential disruption)
- msg/tune_control: add tune_id numbering
- systemcmds/tune_control: add "error" special case tune_id
- move all tune_control publication to new uORB::PublicationQueued<>
- start tone_alarm immediately after board defaults are loaded to fix potential startup issues
- for SITL (or other boards with no TONE output) print common messages (startup, error, etc)
- new intrusive linked list container (c++ template) that sorts on insertion
- primarily for convenience inspecting things in the system like uORB or WorkQueues
- uorb status or top sorted alphabetically
- work_queue status threads sorted by priority, then items sorted alphabetically within each
- always check with state machine before reboot/shutdown
- respect BOARD_HAS_POWER_CONTROL (shutdown from command, low battery, power button)
- px4_shutdown_request add optional delay and always execute from HPWORK
- px4_shutdown_request split out px4_reboot_request
This moves the hysteresis test out of the systemlib and makes it its own
small library. Since it still depends on hrt_absolute_time this does not
link yet. My attempt to get all link dependencies together failed.
