* [AppDebugMessageHandler] Add ability to write debug output to any number of QIODevices.
* [Simulator][DebugOutput] Use new QIODevice hook in AppDebugMessageHandler instead of signal/slot.
* [AppData] Add new settings for debug logging; Refactor property creation macro to work with any data type and add varName_init() method to set default; Refactor all boolean settings to use new macro (others to be migrated later).
* [AppPreferencesDialog] Add UI for appDebugLog, fwTraceLog, & appLogsDir settings; Clean up layout on application prefs. tab, move and re-label a couple items.
* [Companion][Simulator] Enable optional application debug output logging.
* [Simulator] Enable optional logging of firmware debug output to file.
* [EEPROMInterface] Use qDebug() instead of std::cout so that now all debug output can be routed via custom message handler/logger.
* [Companion][Simulator] Add missing #include.
* [Simulator] Create RadioKeyWidget class for UI buttons & refactor ButtonsWidget; Refactor SimulatedUIWidget (and subtypes) to use new RadioKeyWidgets/ButtonsWidget; Centralize help text for key mappings and get creative with some icons; Simplify some radio UI setups with rectangular buttons.
* [Simulator] Convert all simulator data I/O to signals/slots mechanism:
* SimulatorInterface/OpenTxSimulator:
- Now inherits from QObject to allow signal/slot interface;
- Allows data exchange on a per-item basis (eg. each I/O value is treated separately instead of sending whole arrays or structs of data);
- Checks for data changes and only emits signals when change is detected (GUI can now assume only new values are being sent);
- Manages its own 10ms timer (doesn't rely on GUI to do that);
- Sends "heartbeat" signals @ 1Hz for status monitoring;
* Simulator GUI:
- All data is exchanged between GUI elements as well as SimulatorInterface via signals/slots using standardized methods;
- Data is sent immediately, and only, when actually changed (eg. a control is moved) instead of in bulk at specific time intervals;
- Similarly, an asynchronous method is used for reading incoming data, w/out timers or loops;
- Improve VirtualJoystickWidget to be more encapsulated and configurable;
- Pause telemetry simulator if window is hidden;
* [Simulator] Move SimulatorInterface instance to separate thread, ensure safe asynchronous operations & proper timer interactions; Protect/remove some functions, & reorganize the order (cosmetics).
* [Simulator] Traces are now delivered to OpenTxSimulator and one or more QIODevice(s) can be added as recipient(s); Add SimulatorInterface::getCapability() for compile-time settings; Remove reversed POT1/SLIDER1 mixer exception (Taranis) requirement for SIMU; Fix plus/minus key delay on wheel event w/out encoder.
* [Simulator] Add current knob/slider/trim input value in tool-tips (KnobWidget and SliderWidget).
* [Simulator] Fix trims widget internal value not properly updating, and remove trim influence on virtual joystick X/Y value display (closes#4671).
* [SimulatorInterface] Add handling of transmitter input voltage, including a rough conversion of volts to ADC value for different boards, and default battery volts lookup function; Clear analogs array before starting.
* [Simulator] Add SimulatorInterface::init() method to separate pre-startup tasks; Report actual trim range, not just extended on/off; Change how radio widget states are restored; VirtualJoystickWidget: Connect trim changes directly from simulator, connect joystick events directly, report stick mode directly instead of setting values/constraints externally.
* [Simulator] Calculate default Tx V input based on configured range in radio settings (or warning V+2 for radios which don't support a range).
* [Simulator] Add functional aux. trims for Horus (closes#4699).
* [Companion] Remove problematic QMessageLogContext from AppDebugMessageHandler::messageOutput().
* [Simulator] Prevent trim change via slider if disabled for flight mode (closes#4600).
* [OpenTxSimulator] Fixes for Qt < 5.4.
* [OpenTxSimulator] Fix slot name.
Fix Qt < 5.3 compat. issue in DebugOutput;
AppDebugMessageHandler: Filter out verbose QPainter warnings on Linux Qt < 5.3; Do not return any instance if disabled entirely;
Fix style sheet for simulator radio background.
* [Companion][Simulator] Add custom qDebug message handler/formatter as an option. Keeps support for QT_MESSAGE_PATTERN env. var.
* [Simulator] Show system messages of level qInfo and above in debug console.
* [Simulator] Still capture screenshot to clipboard if path is not accessible (and screenshot results now print to simulator debug console).
* Fix for older CMake.
* [Companion] Do not start debug message handler if app is shutting down, and add null checks before using it; Increase backtrace report depth; Add OTx headers; Add Companion exit status debug; Clean up unused code.
* [Simulator] Add asynchronous FIFO buffer for handling debug output/display more efficiently. (#4488)
