Intellisense is still broken on Windows Athena target with the error
`incomplete type "Eigen::Matrix<double, 3, 3, 0, 3, 3>" is not allowed`.
The Google C++ protobuf implementation has issues with dynamic linkage across DLL boundaries because it uses global variables. It also has a compile-time dependency because the protoc version must exactly match the libprotobuf version. Using nanopb with a customized generator fixes both of these issues.

These test fixtures were adding complexity while only saving one line of
object initialization per test. Our other tests like this just make the
object at the top of each test.
Splitting the files didn't help readability or save compilation time and
it confused contributors. Merging them is also in line with how C++
modules will be written.
Java generics are too limited to do what we need. This refactors generic code previously in Unit and Measure into unit-specific classes that can have unit-safe math operations (notably, times and divide) that can return values in known units instead of a wildcarded Measure<?>.
Unit-specific measure implementations are automatically generated by ./wpiunits/generate_units.py, which generates generic interfaces and mutable and immutable implementations of those interfaces. These make up the bulk of the diff of this PR (approximately 9300 LOC).
This also adds units for angular and linear velocities, accelerations, and momenta; moment of inertia; and torque.
Reading exported data from shared objects on windows is broken. It requires __declspec(dllimport). However, this is problematic, as we use the same static libraries both from a shared and static context. So we can't just blindly apply dllimport.
The linker should have caught this, as data members are exported in a different way. However, due to a bug in native-utils, data member symbols were exposed directly. However, interacting with those data member was completely broken.
The only way we can really solve this is to just not use static data members. We're pretty good about this in WPILib itself. However, protobuf is absolutely terrible at this. There are a ton of inline functions that access global data. For the protobuf library itself, we can solve this easily enough.
However, for the generated protobuf code, this is much more problematic. The member needed to bypass the global data is private. This means using just the stock protobuf code, this problem is not solvable. But, protobuf generated code has insertion points. Those insertion points let us add our own code into the generated code via a protoc plugin. And it just so happens that an insertion point exists to add extra public methodsto the generated protobuf header. There is also an insertion point to let us add to the cpp file.
The methods we need are the getters, for unpacking protobufs. For any protobuf that has a message as a member, we generate a new wpi_x() getter (the existing one is just x(), where x is the field name). We then implement this in the cpp file. A trick we can use is in the cpp file, we can safely call the x() function, as the cpp file is in the same library as the global. Thus we can call that inline method, and not actually need to directly access any internal private state of the protobuf object.
TL;DR, all protobuf classes that have messages as fields now have a wpi_x() accessor that must be used instead of x() if you want the code to work on windows. After wpilibsuite/native-utils#212, the bad code will fail to link, rather then just fail at runtime.
