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.
This is enabled by the C++20 __VA_OPT__ feature.
Uses of "{}" format string were updated.
Some warning suppressions were required for older clang versions.
Also improve codegen of wpi::Logger::Log(), frc::ReportError(), and frc::MakeError();
these generate better and less redundant code if they use fmt::string_view for the
format string instead of templating on it.
* Use explicit this capture required by C++20
* Use C++20 span
* Replace wpi::numbers with std::numbers
* Fix C++20 clang-tidy warning false positive in fmt
* Remove ciso646 include since C++20 removed that header
* Fix global-buffer-overflow asan warnings in ntcore tests
* Add DIOSetProxy constructor to HAL
* Upgrade MSVC compiler to 2022
* Bump native-utils to 2023.2.7 (changes to std=c++20)

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.
Checkstyle naming conventions were changed to allow most of what's in
wpimath. Naming rules were disabled completely in wpimath since almost
all suppressions are for math notation.
until() was recently added as a more intuitive alias for this. At this point, keeping this decorator will just cause confusion, given the functionally-equivalent until() alias and the similarly-named getInterruptionBehavior/withInterruptBehavior
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.
Fixes several cases where calling scheduler operations from a command callback could result in NPEs or other issues.

This previously always returned false; the get method it inherited was not used in the getAsBoolean defined in the Trigger class. The fix is to swap get() and getAsBoolean() implementations in the Trigger class.
While the number doesn't matter, it being old is confusing a lot of
people. We never increment the internal vendordep versions, so using a year
version number was a poor choice.
Closes#3921.
