- fgfs --language=fr-FR now works as expected for the launcher (also with
--language=fr_FR as before): the value added by option --language to
the _languages member of FGLocale is normalized in "underscore" style
(e.g., fr_FR).
- Add-on translations must now use a hyphen in their property node names
in addon-metadata.xml (talking about children of <localized>): i.e.,
use for instance <fr-FR> there, not <fr_FR>. An exception
(addons::errors::error_loading_metadata_file) is thrown if one of
these nodes has a name containing an underscore.
Helipads were not being shown for convention airports, only for
heliports. Fix this up so helipads work alongside runways at
conventional airports, when the selected aircraft is a helicopter.
Set the menu action roles to avoid the text heuristic, which erroneously
confuses our configuration menu items with preferences and moves them.

Will pick to 2018.3, 2020.1 and 2020.2 since it’s nicely self-contained
and rather annoying.
Allow add-ons to define an FGData subdir, and support multiple —data=
command line arguments, to avoid the need to modify FG_ROOT (which might
be read-only). Allow additional data paths to be either higher or lower
priority than FG_ROOT, so that add-ons cannot replace files in FG_ROOT.
Suggested on the tracker, keep log files around longer. Currently we
keep the previous ten files.
Note we still don’t log for secondary running copies, since this would
violate the ‘only one copy can write to FGHome’ principle.

This avoids crashing when using Qt : we cannot call exit() safely since
QGuiApplication won’t shut down correctly. Instead throw a special
marker object and catch this in boostrap.
For an instance of this, see:

-D shows speed and drag values at fixed altitude.
--aD shows best speed at different altitudes.
Example:
yasim fgaddon-git/Harrier-GR3/Harrier-GR3.xml --aD
Results in tooltips for instrument needles, and control surfaces.
Enabled with /sim/rendering/automatic-animation-tooltips/enabled.
The max number of auto-created tooltips can be specified in
/sim/rendering/automatic-animation-tooltips/max-count (too many can cause
problems, e.g. on 777 i had to set max to 45).
src/Model/acmodel.cxx:fgLoad3DModelPanel(): pass new property values to
simgear::SGModelLib::loadModel(), so we can have auto-created tooltips for
animations in the user's aircraft.
[This all requires matching changes to simgear.]
