Another GPWS fix: terrain clearance filter must be reset on reset/reposition.
Queue of recent altitude samples must be cleared on reset/reposition to avoid nuisance alerts...

Fixed navradio when shutting down/restarting nav receiver.
"nav-loc" and "has_gs" properties were not updated when nav receiver was rebooted.
Shutting down the nav receiver clears all nav outputs (including "nav-loc" and "has_gs").
=> When nav receiver is powered again, all outputs must be updated.
=> "nav-loc" and "has_gs" are only updated when active nav station changes.
=> old nav station must be cleared on shutdown to enforce update on nav reboot...
- Fixed mk-viii sound sample loader: missing "/".
- Fixed triggering of debug assertion "altitude_callout_voice != NULL" when
altitude callouts were delayed by higher priority warnings.
- Fixed performance bug: MK_VIII::IOHandler::TerrainClearanceFilter::update
sucked CPU time (top #12 in profiler), due to complex "moving average"
calculation on a queue of hundreds/thousands of altitude samples.
Also, pausing the sim caused this queue to grow excessively (by one sample
per update loop) => resuming the sim after pausing it for a long time
resulted in the TerrainClearanceFilter sucking even more CPU time...
=> Number of altitude samples is now limited to 5 samples/sim-time-second
(still more than enough to calculate a stable average).

Thorsten Brehm:
* Fixed segfault when GPWS finds a matching airport but no suitable runway.
* Fixed several sim deadlocks when GPWS alerts trigger at "strange"
heights (e.g. initial alert height is -5ft or 1e-29...).
* Avoid repitition of GPWS alerts below 30ft, i.e. avoid excessive
repitition when plane becomes airborne at bumpy landings.
Make AI Objects of type Wingman, Escort, and GroundVehicle able to be stationed or formated to any AI Object type which can be named - Carrier, Ship, Tanker, Wingman etc.
This is the initial commit for a reworked environment controller.
The main intention is to decouple the individual modules like
metar fetch, metar properties, environment interpolation etc.
to make it easier for other weather module developers to modify
environment settings.
As a side effect, the dialogs for weather-scenario, weather-conditions,
clouds and precipitations have been merged into a single dialog
Issue a warning when finding duplicate tail numbers. Note that this is far from a fatal error, but does interfere with the startup heuristics data collection mechanism.
* A few new features to allow database management and traffic pattern developement:
--prop:/sim/traffic-manager/dumpdata=true: dumps the currently loaded datafile to the console for inspection.
--prop:/sim/traffic-manager/datafile=/path/to/somefile.xml: Skips autoscanning and reads traffic only from the specified xml file.
--prop:/sim/traffic-manager/datafile=/path/to/somefile.conf: Slips autoscanning and reads traffic from a plain text file, as described on the forum/wiki
* Removed the use of pointers for heuristics calculations, as urged by Frederic Bouvier
* Fixed domain error in proportion calculation during loading, resulting in random skipping of aircraft, as reported by Jorg van der Venne.
Walk the AImodels property tree only once at init, rather than at update. Should have a beneficial effect on frame rate, but in practice makes no discernible improvement. It is cleaner code though.

Major update to the AI code:
* New features
- More realistic descent paths
- Separation during descent and approach
- ATC approach controller (still silent)
- inbound traffic flow will start immediately
* Bug fixes
- Properly handle vertical speed when on ground
- Departing aircraft now wait for taxiclerance before moving
- Traffic manager waits for proper weather initialization
- Fixed instabilities in the preferential runway usage code
- Fine tuning of waypoint following code.

Some terrainsampler improvements
- use max. computation time instead of max computations per frame
- restart computation of an area only after significant movememt
- let the area move with a heading and a speed

Autopilot is more than just an autopilot: Introducing: "property rule"
The autopilot has grown beyond being just an autopilot. It's
components, filters and controllers could be used to set property
values based on complex rules and driven from other property values.
That's why I chose to give it the name "property-rule".
This patch allows to define an arbitrary number of property rules under
a/sim/property-rule[n]/path
using the same syntax as autopilot configurations.
