These change add some code that at initialization time will snap all
localizers into perfect alignment with their runways.  It's my experience
that the DAFIF/FAA data reports runway and localizer headings to a level
of precision that is great for making charts, or adjusting your OBS, etc.
But the level of precision of this data can be far enough off to make you
visibly *un*aligned with the runway when the CDI needle is centered.

There are probably cases where the localizer isn't really perfectly
aligned with the runway, or intentionally misaligned to avoid obstacles
or terrain.  So I have made this configurable for those that trust the
data more than I do.  Just set "/sim/navdb/auto-align-localizers" to
true/false in the preferences file to turn this feature on or off in the
code.

b2b33f7582 This set of changes impliments the following:
- FG now directly supports Robin's native nav database file format.
- His latest data now separates out dme, gs, loc, and marker beacon
  transmitters rather than lumping them all into a single "ILS" record.
- These new data structure changes prompted me to do some code restructuring
  so that internally these different types of navaids are all kept as
  separate lists and searched and handled separately.
- This structural change had a cascading affect on any code that
  references or uses the nav databases.  I've gone and "touched" a lot of
  nav related code in a lot of places.
- As an added bonus, the new data (and code) adds DME bias so these will
  all now read as they do in real life.

- Added Navaids/navdb.cxx and Navaids/navdb.hxx which provide a front
  end loaders for the nav data.
- Added Navaids/navrecord.hxx which is a new "generic" nav data record.
- Removed Navaids/ils.hxx, Navaids/ilslist.cxx, Navaids/ilslist.hxx,
  Navaids/mkrbeacons.cxx, and Navaids/mkrbeacons.hxx which are all now
  depricated.
