This guarantees we are past bootloader on all OS. Window tends to not
detect bootloader, connect to it and then get confused.

Windows OS doesn’t disconnect port when you pull plug on USB. This
caused all sorts of problems with previous logic. New logic handles
this correctly.

- Pervasive change to automatically connect to known board types
- Lots of additional changes along with this:
- More exposure of objects/properties to Qml
- Much restructuring in LinkManager and LinkManager clients

Instead us a Toolbox concept which hangs off of QGCApplication

Also added logging category

Link ids were being used interchangeably with the mavlink channel for
the link. Link ids handed out as a numerically increasing integer. Once
the counter went past MAVLINK_COMM_NUM_BUFFERS all hell would break
loose and cause memory corruption.

Also many LinkManager API changes to further isolate all link
management inside LinkManager.

The goal of this first installment is to organize the code a bit so it's more readable,
clean up a bit of left over cruft, and manage link configurations (and links in general).

Now works for more than Serial links

Plus a large number of other changes to allow for orderly shutdown of
objects without crashes or asserts. This is need for unit tests to
create/delete global state around every test.

Largest change is that once a link is added to LinkManager it maintains
ownership and is responsible for delete. If you need to delete a link
use LinkManager::delete. Also added guard code to assert if a Link is
deleted outside of LinkManager.

- allow unit tests to use QGCApplication
- clear global singletons for each unit test run

Centralize all connecting and disconnecting of links through
LinkManager::[Connect|Disconnect]Link api. Connect/Disconnect no longer
allowed through LinkInterface. This allows creation of new
LinkManager::setConnections[Suspended|Allowed] methods to disallow
connections as needed.

The details on the success/errors for the MAVLink protocols are now shown for each link as tooltips that are updated every 5s. Values are currently wrong and unsure why as of yet.

Significantly bugfixed persistence and link adding/removal. Not yet fully there, but getting closer to release
