Stuart Buchanan 9f7e17a434 Support for <group> of checklists.
Checklists now support grouping by placing a group of checklists
under a <group> node.

e.g. /sim/checklists/group/checklist

The group can have a <name>, which is used by the checklist dialog
and can be used by other interfaces, such as the FG1000.

CHECKLISTS
You can create one or more checklist for an aircraft under /sim/checklists. These
are intended to mimic the checklists of aircraft themselves, and can be found under
the Help->Checklists menu within the simulator.
Tutorials are automatically generated from checklists on startup.
Each checklist is defined as a property tree under /sim/checklists/checklist[n]
or /sim/checklists/group[n]/checklist[m]
with the following tags
<title> - Name of the checklist
<page> - Zero or more pages for the checklist containing:
<item> - One or more checklist items containing:
<name> - name of the checklist item (e.g. Carb Heat), to appear on the left
<value> - One or more values for the checklist item, to appear on the right
hand side
<marker> - A tutorial marker (displayed when the user presses the ? button)
This can be easily placed using the Help->Display Tutorial Marker.
Contains x-m, y-m, z-m and scale tag.
<condition> - Optional standard FlightGear condition node that evaluates when the
checklist item has been completed.
<binding> - Zero or more bindings to execute the checklist item. Allows the user
to have their virtual co-pilot perform the action if they select the
">" button next to the checklist item.
The <page> tag may be omitted for single-page checklists, with the <item> tags
immediately under the <checklist[n]> node.
Checklists may be grouped under <group> nodes with a <name> tag decribing the
group. For example
<group>
<name>Emergency</name>
<checklist>...
<checklist>...
</group>
<group>
<name>Normal</name>
<checklist>...
<checklist>...
</group>
See the c172p for an example of this in action (Aircraft/c172p/c172-checklists.xml).
