Very, very cool! |

Implemented a buffers and rate limits within the simulator rather than using changing the UART driver, that makes it more representative and is less invasive in the UART driver. |

Rebased, squashed and moved from using the SITL UART driver to running a little TCP interface, this makes the diff much smaller. |

This adds a simulator for a ELRS radio running the mavlink-rc branch. Nothing clever, just a data rate limit and some buffers with reporting via the RADIO_STATUS mavlink message.
It creates its own HAL SITL UART driver so all the usual commands for addresses and ports should still work. I have been testing with:You also have to set the serial baud to 460. Now runs its own little TCP server.-A --serial2=sim:ELRS:tcp:3which allows you to connect tcp to 5763 (the same as normal for serial 2).The goal is to have a limited data link for testing both AP and GCS. EG (#26098)
A real ELRS setup:

This also improves the UART data rate limiting by tracking the fractional number of bytes remainder on each call.
