* Added new "identifier" attribute in JSON metadata files
* "identifier" is now the one that makes plugins unique
* "name" attribute is a human-readable name
refs #404, and discussion https://dev.vatsim-germany.org/issues/404#note-8
* Changed CSimulatorSetup to use CNameVariantPairList as data. The old version was an hack and had to go, CNameVariantPairList would allow complex types in the future and can be already shown in the GUI.
* CNameVariantPairList was improved slightly in the same step
* Functions to get CSimulatorSetup from driver / context
* Removed CSimulatorSetup data from CSimulatorPluginInfo
* signatures in contexts
* some specialized functions in aircraft list
* context menus in aircraft view
* default "blinking" implementation in driver common base class
* changed aircraft view to siumlated aircraft models / views
* functionality to change fast pos. updates (signals, slots)
* allow to request text message widget from aircraft component
* preparation for a context menu to send text messages from ATC/aircraft view
* preparation for context menu for fast pos. updates
* reverse ICAO lookup at login screen
* display fast updates / parts in GUI
* moved max- aircraft into settings
* made serverselection own component
* GUI component for aircraft parts
* remote aircraft selector component
* Adjusted GUI for internals component
* Enable / disable debug messages from GUI
* Allow to init engines directly
* Removed unused async sort in sequence
In same step fixed found issues in interpolator
* allow to set max rendered aircraft
* extended unit tests for interpolator / parts testing
* allow to skip sorting when splitting by time
* update ot aircraft to FSX in own member function
* Skip time sync parts (FSX) when disabled
(based on FSX testing)
* Only send changed situation to SIM
* Split sending of parts / situations
* Only send parts with a reduced frequency (means slower as positions)
* Mark geodetic height as null for default values (the value is usually unavailable)
* Fixed altitude to MSL for network data
* Trace which aircrafts support aircraft parts via network
* Renamed insert_fron push_front (as proposed by Roland)
Status quo / lessons learnt
* On slower PCs jitter is still noticed for interpolated aircraft.
* Running interpolation in an independent process (aka core, not in GUI) reduced load dependencies
=> it seems to make sense to run driver in own thread
* The onGround flag in parts seems clumsy as it required to retrieve parts for position updates
* In interpolation performance really matters
* using split by callsign everywhere
* helper function to insert_front
* revised linear interpolator
* renamed to remoteAircraft
* renamed to container() in providers (gettters are usually copies)
Issues why changes did so long:
* insert in list is not adding in front, but same as push_back (that was confusing)
* naming of values before/after in interpolator was ambigious
* QMap keeps values sorted by key, not arbitrarily
* keep split per callsign map in IInterpolator (so it is available for all interpolators)
* added signals to provider to add split situations / callsigns
* adjustments to airspace / context for those signals
* thread safe access to those from interpolator
* renamed from rendered to remote aircraft as discussed
* adjust samples
* removed no longer required functions in timestampobjectlist
* keep split per callsign map in IInterpolator (so it is available for all interpolators)
* Interpolator using CWorker, so it can run in background
* added signals to provider to add split situations / callsigns
* adjustments to airspace / context for those signals
* thread safe access to those from interpolator
* renamed from rendered to remote aircraft as discussed
* adjust samples
* removed no longer required functions in timestampobjectlist
* changed connectioStatusChanged from uint -> int
* support of property index
* used support classes BlackMisc::ITimestampBased, ITimestampObjectList and ICallsignObjectList
* fixed some issues in related aircraft situation class in same step
* consolidated ICoordinateGeodetic (e.g. fixed nested properties)
* shifted common functionality for objects/containers with callsign into interface
* shifted common functionality for objects/containers with geo position into interface
* shifted common functionality for objects/containers with timestamp into interface
* updated corresponding value objects / specialized lists
* adjusted all places where renamed functions are used
