Make hardcoded error values configurable.
This patch introduces the optional elements
<config>
<spin-thresh>0.8</spin-thresh>
<max-roll-error-deg>40</max-roll-error-deg>
<max-pitch-error-deg>12</max-pitch-error-deg>
</config>

The values are initialized to the shown default values if omitted.
These are the values of the former hardcoded constants.

A set of additions related to allow the use of SID and STAR procedures.
The current code still has some rough edges, in particular memory still
needs to be deallocated where possible, and the actual use of the code
needs more testing. This code has been running without noticable problems,
so I think it's ready for some wider exposure. Detailed changes include:
- Finetuning of the SID/STAR data concept.
- Preloading of all SIDs, from one xml file.
- ATC determines which SID should be used and echoes this over the com1 or
com2 radio.

Update groundcache api:
Make leaner interfaces to the groundcache.
Remove legacy interfaces.
Update users of them.
Add new query routines for 'nearest point' and 'body with given id'.

Some initial code for AI Aircraft making use of SIDs. Current code is a bit
experimental: Only one SID per runway is supported, and the waypoints are
read from file at every request, which is not very efficient. The current
code is only executed when FlightGear is configured to use airport dynamics
data from the scenery repository, instead of the base package. Since the
latter is still the default, I believe that this will provide enough safe-
guarding to commit SID/STAR support in small, incremental steps.
Next step will be buffering and support for multiple departure routes per
runway.

The old <prop> and <value> elements are still supported but ignored, if a <condition> element exists.

"min throttle" tunable from Maik:
Background are problems modeling the rotax 912 engine. The idle speed
of the real engine is about half of the speed I could achieve with the
default minimum manifold pressure. While on ground I can switch off
the engine by pulling the throttle. The audible difference between the
different minimum idle speed (real vs. simulated) is extreme. With the
patch I get quite realistic sound. For the rotax engine I use
min-throttle="0.05" which is half of the former default value.

add /sim/time/real/ (local machine time) analog to /sim/time/utc/
localtime() is once commented out in simgear/io/sg_binobj.cxx and
a warning says the it can screw up sim time. This is only because
localtime() isn't thread-safe (and its thread-safe cousin localtime_r()
isn't portable). As long as all timing is done in the main thread
(which is the case) there should be no problem. Otherwise we'd have
to implement a simple mutex locked wrapper.

One step further toward better integration of AI and ATC systems.
* Changed the runway XX. ATC message to actually report the real
designated departure runway
* In case of multiple active runways, select the one with a heading that is
closest to the direction of the ultimate departure destination / lines up
with the arrival path.

Use OSG polytope intersector to fill ground cache
This gets rid of a lot of messy code. Although the performance is about
the same as the old code, there is the possibility of a big performance
boost if/when the polytope intersector is taught about KD trees.

- pass return values in set{,Bool,Int,Double}Value() and setprop()
- make some char* "const" to silence warnings
This removes the warning that (rarely) occurred if one wrote to a
write protected property with setprop(). While this was a useful
hint, it needlessly floods the terminal if one protected a property
intentionally. (Consider to add an SG_DEBUG warning instead.) It's
now the caller's job to check for the result if it actually cares.

Some further work toward adding more AI/ATC messages. This patch provides
some prepratory work for assigning different operations to different
frequencies. It also returns a stub for returning an ATIS message ID.
Currently, the ATIC information ID is hardcoded to "Sierra", which needs
to be replaced by a dynamic ID once ATIS services are fully integrated
with the new trafficcontrol code. At least, it's marginally more realistic
then the previous information XX. :-).

Fix various mp bugs.
In multiplaymgr.cxx:
The length of a string property that is too big was written out in the message
even though the string was truncated. Also, it was possible to overrun the
message buffer.
In incoming messages, null-terminate the callsign to prevent any funny
business. Don't believe invalid string lengths. Turn the warning about unknown
properties from a warning into info; there are too many buggy clients out there,
not to mention people who add their own MP properties (hi vivian :)

Development for two new features:
* Some support for geometry information provided by the custom scenery
project. Current support is for AI groundnets and runway use files only
since this is a switch that involves a lot of data verification and
updating, during the transistion the actual path where the data can be
read from is user configurable. setting the property
/sim/traffic-manager/use-custom-scenery-data to true
will cause flightgear to read the ground networks from the scenery
directory (--{fg-scenery}/Airports/[I]/[C]/[A]/[ICAO].groundnet.xml to be
precise). Setting this property to false will retain the original
behvior.
* For departing aircraft, runway takeoff calculations will be done on the
basis of the performance database. For testing purposes, a performance
estimate for a heavy jet has been added.
