* 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
Was causing bugs when combined with patterns that need to read back from the buffer (eg masks and overlays)

This refactors Alert in both c++ and java to fix the issues with the current c++ implementation and improve performance.
Currently, constructing an Alert adds it to a list of Alerts with the same group and type. Activating an alert sets a flag on the alert. When the SendableAlerts is polled (GetStrings), the entire list is iterated over, filtered, and the filtered list is sorted by timestamp. This leads to a worst case O(m + nlog(n)) time complexity for GetStrings, where m and n are the count of total constructed alerts active alerts respectively. It also allocates intermediate data structures to hold the active alert strings for sorting.
This changes the implementation to improve the performance of GetStrings, by shifting the sorting overhead to Alert.Set
Constructing the Alert only initializes the alert's initial state, and initializes the SendableAlerts for the group if it is not already initialized.
Activating or deactivating an alert sets an internal flag for state tracking, and inserts or removes a structure containing the timestamp and text into a self-sorting data structure (std::set, TreeSet) containing other active alerts with the same group and type. (worst case O(log(n))
Now, SendableAlerts.GetStrings only has to iterate over the structure and copy the strings to the returned array. (amortized O(n))
This also fixes the c++ implementation by removing the need for SendableAlerts to directly access the Alert.
This also adds a helper method to SendableRegistry to force initialization of the instance to prevent static initialization ordering issues.
Java generics are too limited to do what we need. This refactors generic code previously in Unit and Measure into unit-specific classes that can have unit-safe math operations (notably, times and divide) that can return values in known units instead of a wildcarded Measure<?>.
Unit-specific measure implementations are automatically generated by ./wpiunits/generate_units.py, which generates generic interfaces and mutable and immutable implementations of those interfaces. These make up the bulk of the diff of this PR (approximately 9300 LOC).
This also adds units for angular and linear velocities, accelerations, and momenta; moment of inertia; and torque.
If the interrupt edge tests are running while under heavy CPU load (like building wpilib) they are prone to failure since the interrupt thread doesn't have enough time to set up callbacks. The interrupt edge tests now copy the original AsynchronousInterrupt test, which has a 0.5s delay after the interrupt is enabled. Running the new interrupt tests while building allwpilib causes far less failures than the old tests.
Add LEDReader and LEDWriter helper interfaces to facilitate composing simple patterns into more complex ones, e.g. LEDPattern.solid(Color.kBlue).breathe(Seconds.of(0.75)). Pattern composition relies on changing out the write behavior; for example, offsetBy increments the indexes to write to; while blink will switch between playing a base pattern and turning off all the LEDs.
Add a view class for splitting a single large buffer into smaller distinct sections, which is useful for dealing with long chained LED strips mounted on different parts of a robot. Views cannot be written directly to an LED strip (in fact, trying to do so won't even compile).
Adds some utility methods to the Color class for interpolating between two colors, and support color representations with 32-bit integers to avoid object allocations.

Modified Java constructors to take a variable number of measurement std devs argument with checks in place to make sure the right amount (or none) are passed into the constructor. All changes passed down to classes utilizing LinearSystemSim.
Removed excess constructors
Removed Java and C++ CurrentDrawAmps method as it doesn't belong in a generic (non electrical) linear system. Kept a non override version in all derived electrical classes.
Also LinearSystemSim has now been made agnostic to electrical systems. Inputs don't have to be voltage. BatteryVoltage clamp function has been pushed down to electrical subclasses.

C++ doesn't need this because it supports value types, which are much
cheaper to construct. constexpr is also available to make construction
zero-cost.
LTVUnicycleController is a drop-in replacement with better tuning knobs.
The RamseteCommand examples were removed instead of retrofitted with
LTVUnicycleController because we're planning on removing the command
controller classes anyway, so it would be wasted effort. The
SimpleDifferentialDriveSimulation example shows direct
LTVUnicycleController usage.
The default state for the DS in the simulated HAL is changed to disconnected.
The FMS view is now only editable in DS disconnected state.
This enables more robot and field-like testing of robot code, as the
alliance color and other parameters start in invalid states and are
only set when the DS connects.
This does not deprecate any current functionality, but prepares the way for future deprecation.
The drive classes now accept void(double) functions, which makes them more flexible.
The C++ API ended up a bit more verbose, but the Java API is really concise with method references, which is >80% of our userbase. For example:
`DifferentialDrive drive = new DifferentialDrive(m_leftMotor::set, m_rightMotor::set);`
Lambdas can be passed to interoperate with vendor motor controller APIs that don't have e.g., set(double), so CTRE doesn't have to maintain their WPI_ classes anymore.
MotorControllerGroup was replaced with PWMMotorController.addFollower() for PWM motor controllers. Users of CAN motor controllers should use their vendor's follower functionality.
