- Allow structuring generic Nasal sources into modules (i.e. support
separate source folders for multiplayer/local weather/... sources)
- Option to enable/disable loading of generic Nasal modules (i.e we only
need to load stuff that is really needed/enabled).
- Provide basic loading sequence: subfolders are strictly loaded _after_
the base directory. So submodules can rely on .nas-scripts like math.nas,
io.nas, debug.nas, ... to be already loaded - dropping the need for
awkward listeners/timers to delay module initialization (loading order
within Nasal/*.nas is still random)

var x="/test/X";
var y="/test/Y";
setprop(x,100); # sets x=100
setprop(y); # sets x=0
setprop(x,100);
setprop(200); # sets x=200
by checking for at least 2 parameters for setprop
Add helper to look for an aircraft branch path in multiple candidate locations.
Update the main subsystems to use the helper, and hence load from any aircraft dir.
- 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.
static FGAirport helpers. As a result, another global index goes away. Use
the helpers to avoid ugly FGPositioned down-casts in various places.
Also converts the environment/METAR code to deal with FGAirport pointers,
instead of string identifiers, and contains work-in-progress code to implement
the AirportList dialog using FGPositioned. This isn't enabled yet for various
reasons, but is the final piece to allow FGAirportList to be removed.
gone. This is good news, since the old query was implemented as a linear
search, sorted by Manhattan distance, and with a warning not to use the logic
at runtime. Various systems (such as the Mk-VIII) do query such data often,
eg every second.
Also gets Point3D out of Airports/simple.hxx, as a precursor to removing it
completely.
the case where the removed child has no other referants, otherwise it
will be deleted on function exit. Also give the ghost type a name for
cleaner debugging.
Convert FGRunway to be heap-based, and inherit FGPositioned. This is a large, ugly change, since FGRunway was essentially a plain struct, with no accessors or abstraction. This change adds various helpers and accessors to FGRunway, but doesn't change many places to use them - that will be a follow up series of patches. It's still a large patch, but outside of FGAirport and FGRunway, mostly mechanical search-and-replace.
An interesting part of this change is that reciprocal runways now exist as independent objects, rather than being created on the fly by the search methods. This simplifies some pieces of code that search for and iterate runways. For users who only want one 'end' of a runway, the new 'isReciprocal' predicate allows them to ignore the 'other' end. Current the only user of this is the 'ground-radar' ATC feature. If we had data on which runways are truly 'single-ended', it would now be trivial to use this in the airport loader to *not* create the reciprocal.
- Runways are now part of an airport, instead of a separate list
- Runways are no longer represented as a boring struct, but as a class
of their own.
-Improved runway access to unify various runway access methods.
