The ``docs/makernc.pl`` perl script can extract the options from the
source code for the configuration processing and turn these into a
GitHub MarkDown document and a RELAX NG Compact form (RNC) description
of the options. Standard conversion tools can be used to turn the RNC
file into an XSD.
Although they are generated by a mechanical transformation, it is not
(yet) part of the build process, in no small part because there no
proper generation and publishing system has yet been set up for the
documentation.
Now that there is an XSD and a Markdown file for discovering the
options, there is no need to retain the configuration editing tool. Any
decent editor will do a better job.

* 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

As was the plan with the introduction of ddsrt; this includes renaming
the identifiers to match the capitalization style and removes old junk.

- 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.
