Pressure at surface level was the wrong value. All barometers and
altimeters use pressure reduced to mean sea level. Reading that value
from GFS instead returns much more reasonable values.
ref T537
The simulated aircraft object has been set only once for each X-Plane aircraft as soon as adding to the simulator succeeded. Any updates to transponder codes, modes etc. were missed and never updated.
To make sure we always have the latest information available, we update all known X-Plane aircraft every second in the slow timer tasks.
Manifest Tasks: T502
Test Plan:
- Check that the new shared libraries are packaged in all platform installers.
- check that plugins are loaded properly on all platforms.

Although the reverse lookup of a model is correct, it's aircraft ICAO code is wrong
Issues found
* in the driver the ICAO code is permanently overridden -> commented out
* there are two contexts, own aircraft and simulator, but only one uses reverse lookup -> now both
* using Qt::QueuedConnection for context -> GUI
- Use common function for Session and P2P connections
- Don't use the DBus service watcher as it did not allow to test in regular intervals
- Add a XSwiftBus version check to X-Plane listener
- Try to initialize and acquire multiplayer planes in checkConnection() already and warn the user if any of those failed. The plugin will be loaded only if everything succeeded.
This allows to get the version number of XSwiftBus itself. It maintains the same version as swift (e.g. 0.8.7 without the time stamp) and can be used to compare it for compatibility reasons.

* force full updates for some cycles "m_updateAllRemoteAircraftCycles"
* only use "emitSimulatorCombinedStatus" to emit changed simulator status
* renamed to "finishUpdateRemoteAircraftAndSetStatistics"
* override "forced" in "getInterpolationSetupConsolidated"
This addresses the issue that aircraft appear below ground after moving the aircraft
X-Plane returns com frequencies in 10 kHz, so we don't have the necessary
precision for the 25 kHz spacing. By using CComSystem::setFrequencyActive
we get the rounding to the system wide spacing for free.
Without that correction we run into system wide issues in code that assumes
the correct frequency spacing is in place.
ref T399
* view rows not selectable
* added settings to ISimulator
* ISimulator implements initSimulatorInternals() and sets default values
* also display plugin name
* XPlane using initSimulatorInternals()
* the most accurate value seems to be returned if the height is close to the elevation
* in normal scenarios there is no much difference of the results if 0 is used
* in Lukla (9200ft MSL) the difference between 0 and 9200 is around 1ft
* in the LOWW scenario using 50000ft MSL results in around 3ft too low elevation
* typo getRemoteAircraftsData -> getRemoteAircraftData (no "s")
* typo getEelevationAtPosition (double "Ee")
* get functions "const"
* added unit for some variables such as latitudeDeg
