I'm not 100% sure whether we want these, but they are a quick
find and replace to do.
Basically, there are two primary things that we have done
this summer that break existing user code:
-Changing GetInstance() calls to return references instead
of pointers. This forces users to change from doing something
like LiveWindow::GetInstance()->AddSensor() to LiveWindow::GetInstance().AddSensor().
-Making PIDGet() and related calls const, forcing users to change
the function signatures wherever they override them.
The GetInstance() calls don't really matter to me either way,
especially since there are no real ownership issues going on there,
unlike the rest of the smart pointer-related changes.
For the const stuff, it is certainly more correct to mandate that
user PIDGet() functions be const and the such, but at the same time,
I'm not sure that there is any strong need for it, and the errors
generated are not the most helpful. While this wouldn't necessarily
be an issue for more experienced teams or completely new teams (who
don't have any old code to be reusing), it may cause issues for more
average teams who aren't familiar with the intricacies of C++ anything.

Also added some references/smart pointers to a couple places
that seemed convenient to the user.
I haven't updated the constructors for RobotDrive() related
examples, pending the results of gerrit change https://usfirst.collab.net/gerrit/#/c/960/
A few things that we are noticing:
--It might be nice if ReturnPIDInput() didn't have to be const;
when people try to override it, they have to remember to put
the const in and if they don't, then the compiler error isn't the
most obvious (especially since this is a change). This would also
apply to PIDGet() in the PIDSource interface.
--SendableChooser still takes raw pointers. This could lead to an
issue I had to debug briefly where you accidentally call
GetSelected() on autoChooser and put the resulting raw pointer
into a unique_ptr, which destroys the pointer when it goes out of
scope. Specifically, I was testing the PacGoat example and
I ended up with a situation where if auto mode was run once, it
was fine, but if it was run twice, the selected command would
have been destroyed by the unique_ptr. I believe that this
just requires updating SendableChosser to take shared_ptr.
--When the samples are compiled with -pedantic, it points out that
START_ROBOT_CLASS macro expansion results in a redundant semicolon.

The HAL will remain untouched in order to maintain C-style
compatibility. A few places in wpilibc were left as
C-style strings, especially if special formatting (eg,
elaborate uses of snprintf or sscanf) was being used.
In general, const char* was changed to std::string.
character buffers used for formatting were either
untouched, changed to std::stringstream, or changed
to std::string, depending on what was done with
the buffer.

This deals with the majority of the user-facing code
in wpilibC++Devices and a substantial portion of it in
wpilibC++. wpilibC++Sim and wpilibC++IntegrationTests
are untouched except where it is necessary to make them
work with the rest of the libraries.
There is still a lot to do in the following areas:
-The HAL (which we may not want to touch at all).
-The I2C, Serial, and SPI interfaces in wpilibC++Devices,
which I haven't gotten around to doing yet.
-Most wpilibC++Devices classes have void* pointers
for interacting with the HAL.
-InterruptableSensorBase passes a void *params for
the interrupt handler.
-I haven't converted all the const char* to std::strings.
-There are plenty of other cases of raw pointers still
existing.
-This doesn't fall directly under raw pointer stuff,
but move syntax and rvalue references could be introduced
in many places.
-I haven't touched vision code.
-The Resource classes conflict (one is in the hal, the other
in wpilibC++). Someone should figure out a more
permanent fix (eg, just renaming them), then doing
what I did (making a new namespace for one of them,
essentially the same as renaming it).
A few other things:
-I created a NullDeleter class which is marked as deprecated.
What this does is it can be passed as the deleter to a
std::shared_ptr so that when you are converting raw pointers
to shared_ptrs the shared_ptr doesn't do any deletion if
someone else owns the raw pointer. This should only be
used in making old raw pointer UIs.
-I had to alter the build.gradle so that it did not
emit errors when deprecated functions called deprecated
functions. Unfortunately, gradle doesn't appear to be
actually printing out gcc warnigns for some reason.
The best way I have found to fix this is to patch
the toolchains (https://bitbucket.org/byteit101/toolchain-builder/pull-request/5/make-gcc-not-throw-warnings-for-nested/diff)
so that a deprecated function calling a deprecated
function is fine but a non-deprecated function calling
a deprecated function will throw a warning (which we
then elevate with -Werror). I believe that clang
deals with this properly, although I have not
tried it myself.

C++11 guarantees construction of static variables to be atomic, so this patch takes advantage of that.
Change-Id: I4a3db0f19c5fa5461fef3b6b63d7b8fec596c962
Loops were converted to their range-based equivalents, variable types were replaced with auto where the type was already specified on the same line, the override keyword was added, and instances of NULL and assignments of 0 to pointers were replaced with nullptr.

The changes made in this commit do not affect any actual code,
they are purely aesthetic. I ran clang-format with google style
over all .h/.cpp files in wpilibc that weren't in wpilibC++Sim
or gtest, and the eclipse formatter over all of the Java files
using the Google eclipse formatting configuration.
