Convert runway parser and all internals to metric units and 2 runway ends.

This eliminates many conversations between ft and m and gives us runway start/end
points that are needed for many calculations. Also, this prepares the internals for
the upcoming apt.dat 850+ format that uses the metric system as well as start/end points.
