The HAL functions often call NI functions that may expect status to be
initialized on entry. Java does not guarantee direct pointer allocation
memory to be initialized, although that may have been occurring by accident.

builds two libraries, Athena and Desktop.
Simulation should use Desktop, Robots should use Athena
Also:
- copied Driverstation and Joystick from Devices into Sim
- Descreased dependency of pthreads in JNI.
- removed Simulation ifdef from non simulation
- added missing decprecated attribute for msvc
- removed usage reporting from sim
- removed unused pom.xml and constexpr

The bindings only wrap the HAL interface, rather than the entire C++ Notifier,
as I ran into issues trying to wrap the whole Notifier (all the existing
bindings only wrap HAL components, so wrapping stuff in :wpilibc is
unexplored). As such, the new edu.wpi.first.wpilibj.Notifier is just a
re-implementation of the wpilibc/.../Notifier.cpp.
The purpose of doing this bindings is to allow Java users a better option
for running tasks which require good timing (such as control loops). The
previous method used java.util.Timer to schedule a task, causing various
issues. Although this update does improve things, Java loop timing is still
substantially worse than that of C++, and, even worse, if Java decides to call
the garbage collector at the wrong time then the loop can be delayed by
multiple milliseconds and the next iteration will be shorter to account for it
(although this particular behavior could be updated).
A few notes on individual components:
-the HAL Task.hpp and Task.cpp were modified due to compilation/linkage
issues with the JNI bindings. Nothing substantive changed.
-NotifierJNI was added to the build files for gradle.
-HALUtil was modified to include a function for getting the length of a C
pointer, rather than relying on it being 32-bit.

You can get the state of the USER button with GetUserButton() in
C++ or Utility.getUserButton() in java.

This is the changes made by Patrick Plenefisch converting the native
code to use CMake and the CMake Maven Plugin, as opposed to the
native Maven plugin. This is to allow for compatibility with newer
versions of the GCC toolchain. All the cpp sources were moved from
maven style directories to cpp style directories for CMake.
