Add two new items in module's dependency:
- recommends: a recommended module tells the sorting algo that if the module is found, it should be sorted accordingly. It is useful for optional dependencies, like shell or mission in some modules
- suggests: if a functionality is not provided by the user, a module can suggest a list of modules that can provide them. It is a convenient way to have "default" modules.
As a result the former autoload node is removed and replaced by suggested modules.
When adding a test node to a makefile section, with required compilation
flags, include and other options, all the files (not arch dependent
files) can be compiled with a TAP compatible program, included in the
standard tests of the CI servers.
Not all module's XML files are converted, but a large part of the most
important parts are already covered. More will be added later. The
number of tested airframes (full compilation of all targets) have been
reduced to speed the CI compile time but still covers the relevant
architecture and boards.
The main benefit is that the overall coverage is already better than
before as previous test aircraft were compiling more or less the same
part of the airborne code, while this new mechanism is more efficient to
test modules not included in any config.
Start working on #940
This replaces
```xml
<depend require="foo|bar" conflict="baz"/>
```
with
```xml
<depends>foo,bar</depends>
<conflicts>baz</conflicts>
```
and now allows to specify OR dependencies with | (pipe) similaro to Debian depends:
```xml
<depends>foo,bar,this|that</depends>
```
which would depend on: foo AND bar AND (this OR that)
* renamed the ins_float to ins_alt_float
* to use the vertical filter add <subsystem name="ins" type="alt_float"/>
* should also fix the imu/ins xsens subsystems
There is still a lot of cleaning up to do, especially for the ins modules.
modules developpers can provide
- a description of the module
- a list of the configuration variables and flags (configure and define)
- a list of sections to add to the airframe file
