changed criticalMessageBoxOnMainThread(const QString& title, const QString& msg) to QGCMessageBox::warning

Shrunk the Message drop down dialog a bit.
Made the Message drop down dialog slightly transparent.

Replace QMessageBox::warning by QGCApplication::criticalMessageBoxOnMainThread and removed unnecessary copying action

Added to ". Please provide a different file name to save to." to the error dialog

changed QGCApplication::saveTempFlightDataLogOnMainThread(QString tempLogfile) to enable overwriting files
existing file is removed before saving file (QFile::copy cannot overwrite files)

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).

Since this is generic Qml support not specific to FactSystem

Changing the order of the QGCFileDialog::getSaveFileName() function. The idea was to expand the existing QFileDialog version but as we removed the selectedFilter, we might as well make this more intuitive. The options argument is the one trully optional and should be last.
Adding an example to the documentation on how to go about figuring out what file type was returned by these functions.

Removed the “selectedFilter” argument from the QGCFileDialog functions along with references to it in unit tests.
Fixed function declarations and prototypes formatting while at it.
Changed the caption of a few file save dialogs with a more descriptive text (explicitly telling what is being saved).

QGCApplication::saveTempFlightDataLogOnMainThread()
MainWindow::startVideoCapture()
QGCBaseParamWidget::saveParametersToFile()
QGCDataPlot2D::savePlot()
QGCDataPlot2D::saveCsvLog()
WaypointList::saveWaypoints()
QGCToolWidget::exportWidget()
LinechartWidget::startLogging()

Making sure defaultSuffix doesn’t start with a dot (i.e. “.bar”)

QGCFileDialog::getSaveFileName()

Assert if defaultSuffix contains a dot (i.e. “.bar”)

UnitTest::_getSaveFileName()

WIP issue #1173. Adding default suffix (extension). While at it, added selected filter support and removed unit test assert about its use.

QQuickWidget can’t handle this

Now works for more than Serial links

Moving methods from MainWindow to QGCApplication so that more things
can run without a window. Helpful for testing.

When using DeleteOnClose with a QQuickWidget, the shutdown sequence
causes the MainWindow destructor loop back onto itself.

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.

Allows parameter access from QML among other things

This is done by tweaking the application name when running unit test

This function is called automatically when a QSettings object is destroyed,
so is rarely needed to be called explicitly.

There are still some cases where
a QSettings object is passed-by-reference, so there I left the sync() calls as
it's unclear how permanent those objects are and if they'd call sync() before
application shutdown

Allows for UI unit tests to be written:
- Ability to respond to expected message boxes
- Ability to fail test if unexpected message boxes occurs

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