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).

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).

- Central widget no longer stacked. Views are added/removed to layout
to switch view
- Dock Widgets are globals with single instance of each type
- Both central views and dock widgets are just-in-time created saving
lots of memory

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()

- Central widget no longer stacked. Views are added/removed to layout

- Dock Widgets are globals with single instance of each type

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.

The derived class wasn’t really adding any capabilties

Also moved log file settings save check to mavlink protocol

Previously link were just destroyed

Previously link were just destroyed

Renamed some variables.
Removed unused joystick settings stuff.
Deleted unused actions.

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

Fixes bugs with savings settings for the window state, theme, UAS-connected view, and low-power mode.
Also removes some unneccesary logic that attempted to handled unclean shutdowns, which I haven't
been able to reproduce.

It was a poor proxy for better coding around the problem of bad settings or the lack of
settings on first-run.

No functionality changes in this code, just code clarify improvements.

Splash screen is optional. Also remove some unused class definition.
