This makes our APIs more consistent. With optimizations enabled, doubles are just as efficient as floats on ARMv7, so we should take advantage of the extra precision.
Base.h provides a backwards compatibility shim (enabled unless
NAMESPACED_WPILIB is defined) that does a "using namespace frc".
However, as some header files do not include Base.h, this may
be a breaking change in some corner cases (with an easy fix).
Fixes#218.
* Moved version generation to the WPILib versioning plugin. This also moves ntcore and wpilib to the latest available version.
* Fixed description string.
* Gave full path for ignored files.
* Makes the HAL provide a better error message for certain things.
* Makes Java error messages better
* Updates C++ errors.
* Moves handles header folder to HAL directory
* Switches HAL to fixed length signed integers, and adds our own HAL_Bool type
* Replaces HAL Floats with Doubles
Doubles are just as fast as floats with optimizations turned on, so
switches to all doubles. All made doubles for consistency.
* Prepends HAL/ to HAL include files. Also fixes some range errors
Cleaned up RobotBase, removed singleton list from SensorBase, and removed unused typedefs and NULL_TASK macro from HAL's Task.hpp. Making the robot class instance static fixed non-POD statics used by the instance during destruction from being destroyed first.
* Replaced include guards with #pragma once
* All source files now have exactly one newline appended
Some files had either two newlines at the end or none (which isn't POSIX compliant). This patch fixes that.
Subsections are alphabetized according to lexographic ordering. Also, HAL includes were moved from headers to source files where possible. This change may cause user code which uses HAL functionality and does not include the relevant HAL header (since it may have been provided by another WPILib header) to fail to compile.
Fixed API in the following classes:
- RobotDrive
- AnalogGyro
moved some files from Athena the shared that are independant of platform
Renamed Gyro to AnalogGyro
added smart pointer constructors to RobotDrive

The current feed forward calculation is only useful for velocity PID controllers where F, the feed forward constant, is 1 over the maximum setpoint for the output. For motion profiles which use position PID controllers, the appropriate calculation for velocity and acceleration feed forwards is different. This change allows the user to provide their own feed forward implementation without having to rewrite the entire Calculate() function.
Both default feed forward calculations are velocity feed forwards. Suggestions for sensible feed forward constants are included in the inline comments.

Years update, references to WIND_BASE were removed, and WPILib license was
moved to the root directory of the project.
If there was already a comment block, a year range through 2016 was created
using the first year in the comment. If there was no comment block, a block
with just the year 2016 was added.
Comments were not added to files from external sources (NI, CTRE).

This allows both greater than 72 minute (2^32 * 1 us) timeouts and also
gracefully handles notifiers across the FPGA time counter rollover.

Also provide templated varags constructor for backwards compatibility and
ease of use.
Update PIDController to use new constructor, eliminating static function
CallCalculate().

This removes redundant queue code from the C++ library.
The old queue code is still needed by simulation, and as the delta between
the simulation and athena headers has grown significantly, this splits the
header into two separate files.

Checking the status code in the macro before "context" is used avoids
significant overhead (string processing) in the common case when the code
is zero.

All the Error and assert calls were using const ::std::string & arguments.
When provided with a char*, the compiler was creating a temporary string
object to pass in. This was triggering mallocs everywhere, even in the
fast paths.
