* reduced the number of async XSwiftBus calls by getting multiple values at once
* the concept was already used for getOwnAircraftSituationDataAsync
* now also used for COM, parts, model and lights
* As Qt restricts to 8 parameters not further bundled
* new COM1 getter functions for receive/volume/transmit
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.
ref T394
Previously all own aircraft values were request via single DBus calls.
Since DBus allows up to 8 values in its reply, use this mechanism
to group the requests and reduce the amount of single calls.
* Before this commit, only the true altitude was known for an aircraft situation. The pressure altitude was not available anywhere yet.
* This caused a wrong altitude in radar clients.
* We fix this reading the pressure altitude from the simulators and set it in the own aircraft situation.
* MS Flight Simulators have the pressure altitude in the APIs available.
* For X-Plane and emulated simulator, we need to calculate it from the pressure at sea level.
* Finally, we use the new available pressure altitude to send it to the FSD server.
Maniphest Tasks: Ref T223
Summary:
Refactored parts of CAircraftModelLoaderXPlane::parseFlyableAirplanes into static method extractAcfProperties that can be called by xswiftbus.
Used extractAcfProperties in xswiftbus to provide the model string to the driver. Implemented CSimulatorXPlane::ps_emitOwnAircraftModelChanged.
Implements T74.

Summary:
I wanted to rename xbus because its relation to //swift// is not immediately clear from the name.
xswiftbus seems reasonable.
