This api doesn’t make any sense given the fact that LinkInterface
signals bytesReceived with the bytes in the signal. Also the reason why
it is never called!

Renamed getNominalDataRate to getConnectionSpeed. Also added upstream/downstream data rate functions to all Link classes.

Removed LinkInterface methods which were never being called. Updated various LinkInterface implementation classes to remove the methods. Some methods such as the ones which measure data rates or bits sent/received were implemented in only some of the implementation classes, and in some cases implemented incorrectly. If they were called, the values returned would be incorrect. Although there was some partial implementation for these I removed them as well since in all case they were never being called by any code. In checking Blame, these came across in 2010 and have remained unimplemented since them, so I figure better to clean up than leave crufty, unused, half finished stuff in.

Addition of requestReset to LinkInterface, to allow MavLinkProtocol to detect when connected, but at the wrong baud rate, request a reset.

Changed many functions in the abstract *Link classes to be const. This facilitates setting other functions as const. The metadata for specific links are reset when the links are added.

Working on better simulation implementation, fixed a bug where the port handle was not fully released

Substantially bugfixed and improved deactivation/activation and persistence of widgets. A lot of testing of Google Earth view, only minor improvements

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

Cleaned up communication structure significantly, should now be easier to add new links. Signal bytesReceived(link, QByteArray) is now only way to pass on newly received data

Pushed parameter interface forward, now receiving of onboard params works, working on display and writing
