The former name should be less confusing. Backwards compatibility is
preserved by only adding the sensible name as a typedef.

The participant listener creates a pong writer, setting a publication
matched listener on it. That listener can be invoked immediately and as
it queries the subscriptions reader, it must not be enabled before the
latter reader has been created.

This adds options to check for "unreasonable" RSS growth, receipt of a
minimum number of samples and having run a minimum number of roundtrips.

The status mask on some readers got reduced to just "data available"
when used in conjunction with a waitset, but the consequence is that the
"subscription matched" listener would be suppressed.

Change the structure of the configuration file (in a backwards
compatible manner) to allow specifying configurations for multiple
domains in a file. (Listing multiple files in CYCLONEDDS_URI was
already supported.) A configuration specifies an id, with a default of
any, configurations for an incompatible id are ignored.
If the application specifies an id other than DDS_DOMAIN_DEFAULT in the
call to create_participant, then only configuration specifications for
Domain elements with that id or with id "any" will be used. If the
application does specify DDS_DOMAIN_DEFAULT, then the id will be taken
from the first Domain element that specifies an id. If none do, the
domain id defaults to 0. Each applicable domain specification is taken
as a separate source and may override settings made previously.
All settings moved from the top-level CycloneDDS element to the
CycloneDDS/Domain element. The CycloneDDS/Domain/Id element moved to
become the "id" attribute of CycloneDDS/Domain. The old locations still
work, with appropriate deprecation warnings.

* Change default behaviour with no arguments to print help text;
"ddsperf sanity" now gives the behaviour that it used to give when run
with no arguments;
* Include context switch rate in output;
* Allow suffixing frequencies and sizes with standard units (so "size
1kB" is now allowed);
* Add missing option to help text, extend help text with some additional
informationr.

* per-thread CPU usage (only those threads where the load is over 0.5%,
if the sum of threads below that threshold exceeds 0.5%, it prints an
aggregate for those threads);
* also report RSS;
* network load (only on request, as percentage of specified network
bandwidth and actual bytes in/out, with the output suppressed if it is
0%);
* publish CPU usage so a ddsperf instance can display CPU loads for
its peers;
* handle SIGXFSZ (file size exceeded) by displaying one last line of
statistics before killing itself; this simply a debugging tool to make
it easier to get a trace covering a high sample-rate start-up issue;
* default topic changed to "KS" because that allows all the options to
be used, this has a negative impact on performance (both latency and
small-sample throughput) but it should be less surprising to users;
* specifying a size is now done by appending "size N" (where N is the
size in bytes) after a "ping" or "pub" command, rather than it having
to set it via a command-line option;
Note that some of this is platform-dependent -- SIGXFSZ is currently
only on Linux and macOS, and CPU and network load reporting is currently
only on Linux, macOS and Windows.

* Move the project top-level CMakeLists.txt to the root of the project;
this allows building Cyclone as part of ROS2 without any special
tricks;
* Clean up the build options:
ENABLE_SSL: whether to check for and include OpenSSL support if a
library can be found (default = ON); this used to be
called DDSC_ENABLE_OPENSSL, the old name is deprecated
but still works
BUILD_DOCS: whether to build docs (default = OFF)
BUILD_TESTING: whether to build test (default = OFF)
* Collect all documentation into top-level "docs" directory;
* Move the examples to the top-level directory;
* Remove the unused and somewhat misleading pseudo-default
cyclonedds.xml;
* Remove unused cmake files

It is an excellent platform for catching bugs: big-endian, slow enough
that a context switch in the middle of an operation becomes a regular
occurrence, and all that on a SMP box. Or: I just wanted to see if it
would work.

Tracking pings and expected number of pongs was done without holding the
correct locks. Terminate flag was also not a ddsrt_atomic... and hence
flagged by thread sanitizer as a race condition.

* As a simple matter of code hygiene, in particular to aid in checking for
leaks, ddsperf should free all memory it allocates on exit.
* Remove spurious mutex unlock in ddsperf
* Removing a participant means removing one or two entries from the "pong
writers" array ("pong wr"), and there it read 1 element beyond the end
of the array while moving the remaining elements forward.
* Constant-rate pinging was broken because of two reasons, one worse than
the other:
* setting the rate had a mismatch in variables (publication rate and
command-line argument) resulting in a completely wrong ping interval;
the code now has a bit more clear variable naming ...
* the timing of the pings was relative to the current time, but the
wakeup a little delayed, resulting in a lower rate than requested.
It now simply adds the ping interval to the scheduled ping time, rather
than the time at which the ping is being sent. To guard against really
late wakeups, rates that are too high, suspending the machine, &c. it
will in extremis delay the next ping.

The current situation for performance measurements and checking network
behaviour is rather unsatisfactory, as the only tools available are
``pubsub`` and the ``roundtrip`` and ``throughput`` examples. The first
can do many things thanks to its thousand-and-one options, but its
purpose really is to be able to read/write arbitrary data with arbitrary
QoS -- though the arbitrary data bit was lost in the hacked conversion
from the original code. The latter two have a terrible user interface,
don't perform any verification that the measurement was successful and
do not provide the results in a convenient form.
Furthermore, the abuse of the two examples as the primary means for
measuring performance has resulted in a reduction of their value as an
example, e.g., they can do waitset- or listener-based reading (and the
throughput one also polling-based), but that kind of complication does
not help a new user understand what is going on. Especially not given
that these features were simply hacked in.
Hence the need for a new tool, one that integrates the common
measurements and can be used to verify that the results make sense. It
is not quite done yet, in particular it is lacking in a number of
aspects:
* no measurement of CPU- and network load, memory usage and context
switches yet;
* very limited statistics (min/max/average, if you're lucky; no
interesting things such as jitter on a throughput test yet);
* it can't yet gather the data from all participants in the network
using DDS;
* it doesn't output the data in a convenient file format yet;
* it doesn't allow specifying boundaries within which the results
must fall for the run to be successful.
What it does verify is that all the endpoint matches that should exist
given the discovered participant do in fact come into existence,
reporting an error (and exiting with an exit status code of 1) if they
don't, as well as checking the number of participants. With the way the
DDSI protocol works, this is a pretty decent network connectivity check.
The raw measurements needed for the desired statistics (apart from
system-level measurements) are pretty much made, so the main thing that
still needs to be done is exploit them and output them. It can already
replace the examples for most benchmarks (only the 50%/90%/99%
percentiles are still missing for a complete replacement).
