The current DS thread model has some pretty major issues. It makes it difficult to know if all data is from the same remote packet, and if the data changes while the robot loop is running. Additionally, the DS thread is used for a few other things (MotorSafety and State Tracking for EducationalRobot). This also makes sim difficult, as user code has to wait for the thread to know it has new data.
This change completely rethinks how threading works in the driver station model.
First, the DS HAL system receives a new data callback, either from Netcomm or DriverStationSim. Inside the context of this callback, all the low latency data is read and put into a cache. Doing some investigation on the robot side, this is perfectly safe to do, and also ensures a ds packet will not be parsed before we finish reading the current packet data.
After all data is read, the cache is swapped with a 2nd buffer. This buffer just stores the data, none of the HAL DS calls read from this buffer. An event is then fired, stating there is new data ready to go.
Robot code calls HAL_UpdateDSData(). This swaps the 2nd buffer with a 3rd buffer, which always contains the current data. This data will not be updated until HAL_UpdateDSData is called again. Which solves the state problem.
The high level driver station classes have. an updateData() call, which calls HAL_UpdateDSData, and then update button state variables, then data log and update the NT FMS data table (Java also caches across the JNI boundary here, but that could trivially be removed). An extra event provider is provided, allowing other threads to know when this call has been completed.
IterativeRobotBase calls DS.updateData() at the beginning of each loop, and only once per loop. This means all commands will always have the same state.
All of this means there is no longer a DS thread. Everything happens synchronously. This means Sim and testing is easier, as you can just call DriverStationSim.NotifyNewData(), and then DriverStation.UpdateData(), and you can guarantee that all the DriverStation.*** data is up to date.
As for Motor Safety and Educational Robot State Handling, those can all be handled by their own threads. The Educational Thread only needs to run under EducationalRobot, and MotorSafety will only be started if there is a motor safety object enabled.

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.
This shows more real world usage then hardcoding the setpoint and PID
gains. There were no current examples using Preferences. This will also
be used to update frc-docs article for Preferences.
Fixes#3827
Adds MotorController inversion for right side, removes inversion in
setVoltage methods.
Also fixes various XboxController negations (was inconsistent throughout examples).
- Remove duplicate motor port (2) from C++ SwerveBot/SwerveDrivePoseEstimator
Java has the correct motor ports.
- Fix duplicate port allocation in C++ RomiReference by correcting if/else check
Java logic was already correct, and confirms this change.
- Correct several comments that referenced elevator
- Changed noise to be 1 encoder tick instead of half a degree
- Changed gear ratio and PID value to be better tuned
- Updated bounds to be similar to a single jointed arm
* Replace Matrix<> with Vector<> where vectors are explicitly intended.
I found these via `rg "Eigen::Matrix<double, \w+, 1>"`.
* Pass all Eigen matrices by const reference. I found these via `rg
"\(Eigen"` on main (the initializer list constructors make more false
positives).
* Replace MakeMatrix() and operator<< usage with initializer list
constructors. I found these via `rg MakeMatrix` and `rg "<<"`
respectively.
* Deprecate MakeMatrix()
Having PCM as a singleton is a problem, as multiple things need to use it, and that gets really ugly. This changes PCM's to be a reference counted object, that can be passed around and constructed from multiple places.
In Java, this is using a map to hold a data store with a ref count, and allocating new objects any time a duplicate is requested.
In C++, this uses a trick constructor to store a PCM instance in the data store itself. This instance can then be passed to base objects using std::shared_ptr's aliasing constructor, which means constructing a solenoid from a PCM is not allocating after the 1st one.
This did require removing sendable from PCM. A compressor class was added back in to act as sendable for the PCM.
After this change is finished, the only change RobotBuilder and Team Code would require is passing a module type to solenoid constructors.
