Saves a further 8 bytes of RAM per object.
Saves 1.5KB of flash by removing all of the const strings for
all of the object names and the corresponding meta object names.
This leaves room for more code.
Also implement some ordering (quite ugly still) in the module init and task creation order so we can decide which module to start/init first
and which module to start/init last.
This will be replaced/adapter with the uavobject list later (once it's implemented).
reserving some space for module init and task create parameters to customize module/task creation (this will be usefull once we get the list and customization from customer).
Changes have been made for OP and CC. Tested comped with CC,OP, sim_posix.
Only ran on bench with CC for couple of minutes (code increase expected but no dropping of stack which is good).
This gives task creation at the time wherethe all heap is available.
- create linker section for those <module>Initialize()
- later this list will incorporate parameters as well. (this probably will be more a OP feature to swap/remove/delete module on the fly.
- this is not done at compile time anymore by Makefile.
- this will allow us to have control on the module start at run-time (not implemented but build the ground for it).
- this simplify the startup (Part of code re-org).
- this change does not affect sim_posix and win32 (since they don't need that)
- ensure it's compiling for PiOS.posix
- port to PiOS.win32 but not tested (not compiled)
- tested on CC
- compile on OP.
- this free ~200 bytes.
- current avalable bytes (is we keep the same remaining bytes on the stack than before) is easily passed the 1.2Ko mark on CC with new gcc (4.5.2)
- this does not include init-reorg for each module (I still think more can be freed)
Warning: The memory utilization when importing objects is unacceptably high making it unusable in the flight code at this point. It can be however used with the SITL simulator. Some more investigation is needed to understand why several kb of memory are used each time a module is imported (even before any functions are called or objects from the module are created).

A test script is statically linked (will eventually be uploaded by the GCS and stored in the VM), it can be found under: Modules/FlightPlan/flightplans/test.py
To start the script send the FlightPlanControl object with the Start command, to stop send the Stop or Kill commands.
Next release will be the OpenPilot python libraries and access to UAVObjects from the script.
