Changes the semantics of dds_qget_{user,group,topic}data to always
append a 0 byte to any non-empty value without counting it in the size.
(An empty value is always represented by a null pointer and a size of
0). The advantage is that any code treating the data as the octet
sequence it formally is will do exactly the same, but any code written
with the knowledge that it should be a string can safely interpret it as
one.

Extend the endpoint built-in topic data with the participant instance
handle (the GUID was already present). Having the instance handle
available makes it trivial to look up the participant, whereas a lookup
of the GUID is rather impractical.

Adds a new "ignorelocal" QoS to the readers/writers to ignore local
matching readers/writers, with three settings:
* DDS_IGNORELOCAL_NONE: default
* DDS_IGNORELOCAL_PARTICIPANT: ignores readers/writers in the same
participant
* DDS_IGNORELOCAL_PROCESS: ignores readers/writers in the same process
These can be set/got using dds_qset_ignorelocal and
dds_qget_ignorelocal.
If a matching reader or writer is ignored because of this setting, it is
as-if that reader or writer doesn't exist. No traffic will be generated
or data retained on its behalf.
There are no consequences for interoperability as this is (by
definition) a local affair.

The old entity handle mechanism suffered from a number of problems, the
most terrible one being that it would only ever allocate 1000 handles
(not even have at most 1000 in use at the same time). Secondarily, it
was protected by a single mutex that actually does show up as a limiting
factor in, say, a polling-based throughput test with small messages.
Thirdly, it tried to provide for various use cases that don't exist in
practice but add complexity and overhead.
This commit totally rewrites the mechanism, by replacing the old array
with a hash table and allowing a near-arbitrary number of handles as
well as reuse of handles. It also removes the entity "kind" bits in the
most significant bits of the handles, because they only resulted in
incorrect checking of argument validity. All that is taken out, but
there is still more cleaning up to be done. It furthermore removes an
indirection in the handle-to-entity lookup by embedding the
"dds_handle_link" structure in the entity.
Handle allocation is randomized to avoid the have a high probability of
quickly finding an available handle (the total number of handles is
limited to a number much smaller than the domain from which they are
allocated). The likelihood of handle reuse is still dependent on the
number of allocated handles -- the fewer handles there are, the longer
the expected time to reuse. Non-randomized handles would give a few
guarantees more, though.
It moreover moves the code from the "util" to the "core/ddsc" component,
because it really is only used for entities, and besides the new
implementation relies on the deferred freeing (a.k.a. garbage collection
mechanism) implemented in the core.
The actual handle management has two variants, selectable with a macro:
the preferred embodiment uses a concurrent hash table, the actually used
one performs all operations inside a single mutex and uses a
non-concurrent version of the hash table. The reason the
less-predeferred embodiment is used is that the concurrent version
requires the freeing of entity objects to be deferred (much like the
GUID-to-entity hash tables in DDSI function, or indeed the key value to
instance handle mapping). That is a fair bit of work, and the
non-concurrent version is a reasonable intermediate step.

- Replace os_result by dds_retcode_t and move DDS return code defines down.
Eliminates the need to convert between different return code types.
- Move dds_time_t down and remove os_time.
Eliminates the need to convert between different time representations and
reduces code duplication.
- Remove use of Microsoft source-code annotation language (SAL).
SAL annotations are Microsoft specific and not very well documented. This
makes it very difficult for contributers to write.
- Rearrange the abstraction layer to be feature-based. The previous layout
falsely assumed that the operating system dictates which implementation is
best suited. For general purpose operating systems this is mostly true, but
embedded targets require a slightly different approach and may not even offer
all features. The new layout makes it possible to mix-and-match feature
implementations and allows for features to not be implemented at all.
- Replace the os prefix by ddsrt to avoid name collisions.
- Remove various portions of unused and unwanted code.
- Export thread names on all supported platforms.
- Return native thread identifier on POSIX compatible platforms.
- Add timed wait for condition variables that takes an absolute time.
- Remove system abstraction for errno. The os_getErrno and os_setErrno were
incorrect. Functions that might fail now simply return a DDS return code
instead.
- Remove thread-specific memory abstraction. os_threadMemGet and accompanying
functions were a mess and their use has been eliminated by other changes in
this commit.
- Replace attribute (re)defines by ddsrt_ prefixed equivalents to avoid name
collisions and problems with faulty __nonnull__ attributes.

Listener/status management invocation was rather expensive, and
especially the cost of checking listeners, then setting status flags and
triggering waitsets ran into severe lock contention.
A major cost was the repeated use of dds_entity_lock and
dds_entity_unlock, these have been eliminated. Another cost was that
each time an event occurred (with DATA_AVAILABLE the most problematic
one) it would walk the chain of ancestors to see if any had a relevant
listener, and only if none of them had any, it would set the status
flags.
The locking/unlocking of the entity has been eliminated by moving the
listener/status flag manipulation from the general entity lock to its
m_observers_lock. That lock has a much smaller scope, and consequently
contention has been significantly reduced.
Instead of walking the entity hierarchy looking for listeners, an entity
now inherits the ancestors' listeners. The set_listener operation has
been made a little more complicated by the need to not only set the
listeners for the specified entity, but to also update any inherited
listeners its descendants.
The commit is a bit larger than strictly needed ... I've started
reformatting the code to reduce the variety of styles ... as there I
haven't been able to find a single tool that does what I want, it may
well end up as manual work.

Move details of built-in topics out of the DDSI core (so the only hooks
remain). For this, rtps_term had to be split, so now it is "stop"
followed by "fini".
Add a notion of local writers that are not bound to a participant ("local
orphans"), so that the local built-in topic writers can be created during
initialization. This eliminates the "builtin" participant. This
uncovered in inconsistency in the unit tests: on the one hand, a newly
created participant is expected to have no child entities; on the other
hand, the built-in topics were expected to be returned by find_topic ...
This inconsistency has been resolved by creating them lazily and
accepting that find_topic can't return them until they have been
created. Special code was in place in dds_create_reader anyway, so it
is not expected to have any real consequence for applications.
Use a special WHC implementation that regenerates the data on the fly
using the internal discovery tables of DDSI, so that the samples are only
stored by readers. This eliminates the memory overhead of that existed
previously when the WHC of the writers stored the data.
No longer return topic name and type name in the built-in topics, they
have been extracted already and are not accessible through the normal
interface but do cause problems when comparing QoS.

Make function names more consistent:
* ``dds_topic_{get,set}_filter`` -> ``dds_{get,set}_topic_filter``
* ``dds_{get,set}_enabled_status`` -> ``dds_{get,set}_status_mask``
* ``dds_instance_lookup`` -> ``dds_lookup_instance``
Plus removal of defunct ddsv2.h.
The main naming scheme is OPER_TYPE (i.e., dds_create_participant) but the listener operations were named TYPE_OPER (i.e., dds_listener_create). This commit brings the listener scheme in line with the rest, retaining the old names as a deprecated interface.
