sendUDP and readUDP were using longer than necessary socket timeouts that may add to process time delay and stuttering. They were also using different values between Window and Linux/Mac. The timeouts are now standardized for all versions.

The C client previously set a very short read timeout because it was required
by the plugin. To compensate for this on the client side, we would try to
read several times in a loop. Since the plugin no longer uses the C client for
networking, we can do away with the loops and set a proper timeout.
- Swaped names of openUDP and aopenUDP.
- openUDP is now the "automatic" version, requiring only the X-Plane IP address.
- aopenUDP is now the "advanced" version, requiring both the X-Plane port and a client port.
- Added support for passing NULL to sendTEXT.
Fix Bug- readUDP loop in getDREF Response only ran once no matter what.
This wasn’t enough time for the plugin to send a response.
Note: You can try increasing the timeout, but the plugin has to have a
socket with a timeout of 1ms or less. If the timeout is higher than
that a lag is introduced.
- Fixed a buffer overflow in sendCTRL.
- Fixed incorrect inderection in readUDP.
- Removed unused usleep function.
- Removed redundant include of WS2tcpip.h
- Fixed widespread error where sendUDP's return value was not being checked correctly.
- Updated signature of openUDP to place optional parameters at the end
- Fixed bug in CTRL command where the buffer length was not correctly set.
- Fixed setCONN to correctlly reset the client's socket.
- Removed parseCTRL and readCTRL.
- Tweaked variable type, order and naming.
- Improved validation and error reporting.
- Updated Interface Control Document to reflect adition of aircraft number to CTRL command.
- Removed readPOSI and parsePOSI functions. These were only used by the plugin, which no longer uses them.
- Tweaked types, argument order, and names to improve concision and consistency with other functions.
- Improved validation and error reporting.
- printError is now a varags function, and will print format strings for the message.
- Removed several internal DREF functions from the header file.
- Significantly improved error reporting in DREF functions.
- Removed dynamic allocation for responses. Clients are now expected to provide fully allocated storage for getDREFs. An error message will be printed if the provided structure is too small.
- Fixesnasa/XPlaneConnect#30
- Tweaked signatures to improve consistency and safety.
- Improved error logging.
- Removed parseDATA. When merged into readDATA, the meat of parseDATA is only a few lines of code.
- Tweaked function signatures to more accurately reflect internal behavior.
- Changed behavior of setCONN to use the inbound port of the socket passed to it.
- Greatly enhanced error reporting for setCONN and pauseSim.
- Tweaked variable names to be more concise.
- Moved variable declarations from top of function to point of use.
- Replaced memcpy with strncpy where appropriate.
- Removed socket reuse options on *nix builds.
- Improved error reporting.
- Most failures when opening and closing sockets now cause the client to die.
- sendUDP now ignores the length byte.
