e588cbadd8 Removed FGEnvironmentMgr as a special case in globals, initialization,
etc.

Improved the weather system to interpolate between different
elevations and deal with boundary-layer conditions.  The configuration
properties are now different (see $FG_ROOT/preferences.xml).

5a849b66e8 Major overhaul:
- changed FGSubsystem::update(int) to
  FGSubsystem::update(delta_time_sec); the argument is now delta time
  in seconds rather than milliseconds

- added FGSubsystem::suspend(), FGSubsystem::suspend(bool),
  FGSubsystem::resume(), and FGSubsystem::is_suspended(), all with
  default implementations; is_suspended takes account of the master
  freeze as well as the subsystem's individual suspended state

- the FDMs now use the delta time argument the same as the rest of
  FlightGear; formerly, main.cxx made a special case and passed a
  multiloop argument

- FDMs now calculate multiloop internally instead of relying on
  main.cxx

There are probably some problems -- I've done basic testing with the
major FDMs and subsystems, but we'll probably need a few weeks to
sniff out bugs.

ce69eb8e79 Added an interface for an environment controller, together with a
default implementation that uses user-supplied params.  Currently, the
only parameters are

  /environment/params/base-wind-speed-kt
  /environment/params/gust-wind-speed-kt

but others will show up soon (i.e. sheer, variable direction, variable
visibility, etc.).  To activate these properties, you have to
configure --with-new-environment.

The gusting function is simplistic and needs to be replaced with
something better, though it doesn't feel too far off.
