General named pipe (fifo) driver

Each pipe is comprised of two half-duplex fifos, one for reading from the client and one for writing to them. To activate a specific pipe peripheral, define flag USE_PIPEX_WRITER with the file path to the location where paparazzi would wrtie to and USE_PIPEX_READER for the file location where it should read from, where X is your pipe peripheral number. You can also configure the size of the incoming and outgoing buffer using PIPE_RX_BUFFER_SIZE and PIPE_TX_BUFFER_SIZE

Example for airframe file

Add to your firmware section: This example contains all possible configuration options, not all of them are mandatory!

 <module name="pipe">
   <define name="USE_PIPE0_READER" value="/tmp/pprz_in" />
   <define name="USE_PIPE0_WRITER" value="/tmp/pprz_out" />
   <define name="PIPE_RX_BUFFER_SIZE" value="1024" />
   <define name="PIPE_TX_BUFFER_SIZE" value="1024" />
