Moves all CommandBase functionality into Command and deprecates CommandBase for removal.
Moves all SubsystemBase functionality into Subsystem and deprecates SubsystemBase for removal.
Adds a function to CommandScheduler to remove all registered Subsystems.
Move the command group checking functionality from CommandGroupBase into CommandScheduler.
Update references to grouping as composition for clarity (because explicitly grouping isn't the only way to do it).
Deprecate the static factory methods parallel, race, and deadline in CommandGroupBase in favor of the identical ones in Commands.
No longer stores a temporary setpoint in PIDSubsystem, instead
immediately sending to PIDController. This fixes an issue where the
setpoint didn't take effect until the Subsystem Periodic method ran, and
could cause commands to finish early if they were scheduled after the
subsystem periodic method ran because it used the old setpoint.
Trigger was refactored to use BooleanEvent when it was introduced in #4104.
This reverts to the original implementation until edge-based BooleanEvents can be fixed.
Motivation
Feedback from 2022 showed that the Trigger API is rather confusing, mostly due to the following:
- duplicate Trigger and Button APIs were available; users were confused searching for a nonexistent difference between them.
- the when terminology was ambiguous and unclear whether it refers to the high state or specifically the rising edge.
- the Active terminology didn't unambiguously refer to the high state; it wasn't unintuitive to understand it as "when the binding is active/polled".
- whileHeld vs whenHeld was very confusing, and the difference between them wasn't obvious. The parallel Trigger verbs, whileActiveContinuously and whileActiveOnce are much less confusing.
Solution
Deprecating Button and its binding methods. The rationale for deprecating Button (and not Trigger) is because Button uses terminology that is needlessly more specific and restricting to the button use case, making the use case of arbitrary trigger conditions unintuitive.
After consideration, deprecation of Button's subclasses was decided against:
- NetworkButton (a trigger condition based on a boolean NT entry/topic) is a use case that is not necessarily intuitive for teams to implement themselves, so it is an abstraction that should be provided in the library. A parallel class for the BooleanEvent level, NetworkBooleanEvent, was also added as part of NT4. NT listeners were considered as a alternative solution, but they require attention to thread safety, and aren't interoperable with the EventLoop API.
- JoystickButton/POVButton provide abstractions around HID buttons. The new Trigger-returning factories on the HID classes are an equal (if not more concise) alternative, but there is no reason not to keep them for those who find their use preferable.
At a later date in the deprecation cycle (perhaps for 2024), when Button is removed, these subclasses should be changed to inherit directly from Trigger.
Trigger's bindings are changed to use True/False terminology, as it should be unambiguous. Each binding type has both True and False variants; for brevity, only the True variants are listed here:
- onTrue (replaces whenActive): schedule on rising edge.
- whileTrue (replaces whileActiveOnce): schedule on rising edge, cancel on falling edge.
- toggleOnTrue (replaces toggleWhenActive): on rising edge, schedule if unscheduled and cancel if scheduled.
Two binding types are completely deprecated:
- cancelWhenActive: this is a fairly niche use case which is better described as having the trigger's rising edge (Trigger.rising()) as an end condition for the command (using Command.until()).
- whileActiveContinuously: however common, this relied on the no-op behavior of scheduling an already-scheduled command. The more correct way to repeat the command if it ends before the falling edge is using Command.repeatedly/RepeatCommand or a RunCommand -- the only difference is if the command is interrupted, but that is more likely to result in two commands perpetually canceling each other than achieve the desired behavior. Manually implementing a blindly-scheduling binding like whileActiveContinuously is still possible, though might not be intuitive.
Notes
It was considered to share BooleanEvent's digital signal terminology; however, once it was decided that Trigger should not inherit from BooleanEvent (due to overload incompatibility) the common terminology was not worth the unintuitiveness stemming from users' unfamiliarity with the signal processing terms.
This is enabled by the C++20 __VA_OPT__ feature.
Uses of "{}" format string were updated.
Some warning suppressions were required for older clang versions.
Also improve codegen of wpi::Logger::Log(), frc::ReportError(), and frc::MakeError();
these generate better and less redundant code if they use fmt::string_view for the
format string instead of templating on it.

Add a CommandPtr with an internal unique_ptr to enable not needing to move the underlying classes, which is error-prone due to the potential for lambda captures.
Now, implicit narrowing conversions are only used with wpi::Now(). This
also fixes clang-tidy warnings about C-style casts. For example:
```
== clang-tidy /__w/allwpilib/allwpilib/wpilibNewCommands/src/main/native/include/frc2/command/SwerveControllerCommand.inc ==
/__w/allwpilib/allwpilib/wpilibNewCommands/src/main/native/include/frc2/command/SwerveControllerCommand.inc:95:18: warning: C-style casts are discouraged; use static_cast/const_cast/reinterpret_cast [google-readability-casting]
auto curTime = units::second_t(m_timer.Get());
^
```
In that case at least, the cast was removed entirely since Get() already
returns a units::second_t.
