Using MrcLib on the robot is going to be the plan for the future, to
make things easier.
MrcLib is how sim is supported going forward. The desktop version of
mrclib can act as a robot server.
This is set up where the mrclib interface is in shared code. On robot,
that is the only backend used. On desktop, a default sim backend is
used. However, the sim plugin can switch that to the real robot backend,
so the robot code will exactly look like a real robot.
This is increasingly difficult to maintain, and has very limited
benefit. Modern coprocessors with enough horsepower to run Java
applications can use the Gradle or Bazel build systems instead.
The initial build file generation for robotpy projects was relatively
naive and purpose built to get `allwpilib` compiling, without supporting
all the available features.
This modifies the generation scripts to be able to support multiple
embedded libraries, which will be necessary for #8858, since `mrclib.so`
will need to be bundled along with the hal libraries. In addition some
cleanup was done to get the wheels looking more like what is in pypi.
This lets us remove the unmaintained StackWalker library and its hacky
upstream_utils script.
@Gold856 reported that StackWalker gives blank stacktraces:

They also reported an earlier version of this PR giving the following
stacktrace instead:

I left "free speed" alone since that's the technical term for it. In
general, velocity is a vector quantity, and speed is a magnitude (i.e.,
a strictly positive value).
This PR also replaces the speed verbiage in MotorController with duty
cycle.
Fixes#8423.
This hooks up the bazel build to the robotpyExamples. It can use the
(formly pyfrc or whatever) automatic unit tests for an example, as well
as exposing the ability to run the example in simulation, with or
without `halsim_gui` with a command such as `bazel run
//robotpyExamples:AddressableLED-sim`
This required building and using wheels instead of just a normal
`py_library`, so that things like `ENTRY_POINTS` can be used. I took a
bare bones approach to building and naming the wheels (for example the
native ones don't have the OS info or python version in them, so they
wouldn't be suitable publish to pypi, but that can always be updated
later.
Resync with `mostrobotpy`
This mostly involves the big "ignore almost everything in the HAL
project" and some fixups for the Addressable LED classes.
Required two small hand fixes to get it building over here with bazel,
and with more compiler warnings on.
I also manually zeroed out the `repo_url` field in the toml files to
avoid unnecessary churn whenever it goes from a release build to a
development build. I already did this with `version` field in there, and
will do a follow up PR that updates the copybara script to do it
automatically.

This got missed in the reorg, and these values aren't actually used for
anything when building in `allwpilb`, but we might as well fix them here
to make the copybara process easier.
This uses all the infrastructure we put together earlier to actually build and publish all the artifacts.
We might still want to adjust what is built by default to control CI times.

This mirrors the robotpy files for the following projects:
- apriltag
- datalog
- hal
- ntcore
- romiVendordep
- wpilibc
- wpimath
- xrpVendordep
This excludes cscore and the halsim wrappers for at this time.
NOTE: This does not hook these projects up to the build system, just simply mirrors the files. The building will take place in a follow up PR to make it easier to review the changes necessary to build.
* Move units into API docs instead because suffixes make user code verbose and hard to read
* Rename trackWidth to trackwidth
* Make ultrasonic classes use meters instead of a mix of m, cm, mm, ft,
and inches
