* fix(cmake): use Python3 module; cache PYTHON_EXECUTABLE properly
The legacy `find_package(PythonInterp 3)` is deprecated (warned with
noisy CMP0148 by cmake 3.27+, currently visible on Ubuntu 24.04 CI
runs).
It also stores its result as PYTHON_EXECUTABLE without a proper CACHE
type, which interacts badly with the Makefile's `cmake-cache-check`.
`cmake -L` skips UNINITIALIZED entries, so the
`-DPYTHON_EXECUTABLE=...` passed by the top-level Makefile is never
matched in the cache and every invocation forces a full reconfigure.
Switch to `find_package(Python3 COMPONENTS Interpreter REQUIRED)`,
then bridge to the legacy `PYTHON_EXECUTABLE` name that the rest of
the codebase still references.
Promote it to a CACHE FILEPATH entry so cmake -L lists it, preserving
any user-supplied value verbatim (find_package(Python3) canonicalises
e.g. bin/python3 to bin/python3.13, defeating a string-based cache
match).

* fix(cmake): promote CONFIG to CACHE STRING for incremental builds
When CONFIG is passed via `-DCONFIG=...` on the cmake command line, it
is stored as an UNINITIALIZED cache entry. `cmake -L` skips
UNINITIALIZED entries by design, so the Makefile's
`cmake-cache-check` (which uses `cmake -L` to diff desired vs cached
options) never finds CONFIG in the output, concludes the cache is
stale, and triggers a full reconfigure on every `make <target>`
invocation.
If a config identifier is given, we force promote it to CACHE
STRING. This preserves the user supplied value as it was, while making
it visible to `cmake -L`, so the cache-check succeeds when nothing has
changed.

* fix(cmake): track default.px4board as a configure dependency
Non-default labels merge `default.px4board` + `{label}.px4board` via
`merge_config.py`, but only the label file was listed as a configure
dependency. Changes to `default.px4board` were silently ignored until
a clean build, which is surprising and easy to debug for hours.
Register `default.px4board` as a CMAKE_CONFIGURE_DEPENDS in the
non-default-label branch so edits trigger reconfigure as expected.

* fix(cmake): correct NuttX apps/library build dependency tracking
Three dependency graph defects in the libapps.a and per NuttX library
custom_commands caused either spurious full rebuilds or stale outputs
on incremental builds.
(1) `builtin_list.h` and `builtin_proto.h` are regenerated by the apps
build from `px4.bdat`/`px4.pdat` on every invocation. They were
included in `nuttx_apps_files`, so on each build we saw them as
changed inputs and re-triggered the apps target perpetually. Exclude
them with a `list(FILTER)`.
(2) libapps.a's custom_command lacked `px4.bdat`/`px4.pdat` as
dependencies, so module additions or renames (which regenerate those
registries) did not propagate to a rebuild of the builtin command
table. Add them to DEPENDS.
(3) NuttX's recursive make does not always notice that
`builtin_list.h` has been regenerated and that `builtin_list.c`
therefore needs recompiling. Touch `builtin_list.c` so NuttX's make
picks up the indirect change.
Additionally, drop the destructive cleanup COMMANDs that ran at the
start of libapps.a and each per-library custom_command (`remove
-f *.a`, `find ... -delete *.o`). These were workarounds for the now
fixed dependency tracking; without them removed, they would also force
unnecessary full rebuilds every time.

* Made voxl2 apps processor and slpi dsp processor builds into separate board builds so that they can
more easily be configured independently.
* Removed board specific link library command from px4_config.cmake and moved it to a more generic
board specific solution that can be used by any board that needs custom link libraries.
* Removed redundant cmake command for Qurt
* Removed unused definition from Qurt cmake file
* Removed unnecessary QURT_LIB cmake function
* Reorganized the voxl2 build structure to avoid 4 level board directories.
* Reverted cmake files to remove 4 level board naming code
* Updated documentation
- 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)
Define __KERNEL__ macro during compilation and place the module in separate library
Remove default library linking to m or libc on NuttX. Add these in platform layer instead, since
they are different on kernel and user side

There was an error that PX4_CRYPTO was cached accross variants, if it was
defined just for one variant.
This synchronizes the caching of BOARD_CRYPTO with other similar BOARD_ flags;
it is set as INTERNAL and "1" when enabled.
Also remove handling of BOARD_KEYSTORE; it is not used anywhere after
changing the crypto under src/drivers. If a separate keystore driver
is required, it is just selected as any other driver in px4board

- 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
