Normally, <regex> should be available and working in any compliant C++11
implementation, however at least g++ 4.8[1] lies about its C++11
compliance: its <regex> is utterly unusable, see [2] and [3] for
details.
This requires SimGear commit ab1e2d49abdf5b1aca9035a51d9d73d687f0eba7,
for the HAVE_WORKING_STD_REGEX preprocessor symbol.
[1] Which appears to be (precisely 4.8.5) the version shipped in
CentOS 7, and used on FlightGear's current Jenkins installation.

Changes to test_AddonManagement.cxx:
- in testAddonVersionSuffix(), fgtest::initTestGlobals() was called
with the wrong test name (not used anyway, but might be in the
future);
- in testAddon():
* rename variable 'm' to 'addon' ('m' used to stand for the old
class name AddonMetadata);
* call fgtest::initTestGlobals() and fgtest::shutdownTestGlobals()
(not technically needed, but cleaner).
- The Emesary MP bridge can use any string property; however it seems sensible to separate the properties out into a distinct block.
- There is a now a type property for each bridge. This is to allow the bridge to identify its type based on what it can transfer based on function. This will allow rapid filtering of unrequired notifications within the bridge (NYI)
QualifiedUrl is essentially a pair containing an enum value
(addons::UrlType::homePage, addons::UrlType::download, etc.) and an
std::string for the URL per se, with adequate getters and setters.
Addon::getUrls() is for people who wish to process all non-empty URLs
occurring as part of the add-on metadata in batch.

- Parsing of the addon-metadata.xml file is now handled by a new static
method of Addon:
static Addon fromAddonDir(const SGPath& addonPath);
This method will be reusable to gather all add-on metadata from a set
of add-on directories (just call the method once per add-on). This
change also simplifies AddonManager::registerAddonMetadata().
- New supported fields:
authors
maintainers
license/{designation,file,url}
url/{home-page,download,support,code-repository}
tags
See

for documentation on these fields.
