This adds support for two serialization formats for complex data types:
- Protobuf for complex objects with variable length internals that need forward and backward wire compatibility (lower speed, more flexible)
- Raw struct (ByteBuffer-style) for fixed-length objects (higher speed, less flexible)
Deserialization can be done either by creating a new object (for immutable objects) or overwriting the contents of an existing object (for mutable objects).
Implementing classes should provide inner classes that implement the Protobuf or Struct interface (in Java) or specialize the wpi::Protobuf or wpi::Struct struct (in C++). It is possible for classes to implement both. If the class itself does not implement serialization, it's possible for third parties/users to provide an implementation instead.
Uses the Google protobuf implementation for C++ and the QuickBuffers alternative protobuf implementation for Java.
The following source code changes were required:
* Whitespace changes from spotless
* PMD warning suppressions for utility class tests
* PMD warning rename from "BeanMembersShouldSerialize" to
"NonSerializableClass"
* Declared more class members as final
* NetworkTableInstance: set handle to 0 after destroy
* Fix multiple notifications of local values
* Detect mismatch between handles
* Server: fix setting min period when no topics
* Limit maximum number of subscribers/publishers/listeners
This helps find resource leaks and prevents them from causing excessive
slowdowns/crashes. The limit on each is currently set to 512.
* Don't use std::swap in move operation
- In both C++ and Java, add listener functions to Instance class (same as NT3 provided)
- Add WaitForListenerQueue functions (same as NT3 provided)
- Move Java non-poller implementation to Instance (previously only handled single instance)
- Change C++ listeners to take non-const references for subscribers etc to help avoid footguns from use of temporary objects (also add doc comment)
- Fix Preferences making .type persistent
* TopicListener: Fix Add() return values
* Update PubSubOption poll storage documentation
* Update NetworkTableEntry::GetValue() doc
* Add documentation regarding asynchronous callbacks
* Unpublish entry: set publisher to nullptr
* Implement ValueListenerPoller default constructor
* Remove SetNetworkIdentity, make parameter to StartClient
* URI-escape client ID, improve error message
* Add connected message with client id; also improve disconnected message a bit
* Handle SetServers either before or after StartClient
* Fix client use-after-free; also delay reconnect after disconnect to rate limit
* Don't re-announce to already subscribed client; we especially don't want to send the last value again
* Always accept in-order sets, only use timestamp for tiebreak
* Fix LocalStorage::StartNetwork race
* Remove unused/unimplemented function
Also:
* [glass] Remove debug print
* [glass] Fix mpack string decoding
* [cameraserver] Fix up startclient
* 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)

* Fix C++ Publisher and Subscriber move assignment
* Fix Publisher comment typo.
* Publish: check that properties is an object.
Print a warning, but still publish, just with empty properties.
Add error print for unassigned type publish.
* Return boolean from SetProperties
* Document exception-throw in Java for invalid JSON.
