Title: MVC decoupling of parameters-handling code

Starting to refactor the parameters handling code such that there's separation between view (UI) elements and the parameter data model and communications. This allows multiple parameter UI widgets to share a single data model (and single comms pipeline to send/receive parameters).

Also began to add a pending parameters widget to the Advanced params in PX4VehicleConfig. The idea is that pending parameter updates are displayed in a separate pane, and cleared after they are confirmed as transmitted to the vehicle.

Unfortunately I've only been able to test this very crudely with a hacked mavproxy. I lack access to a working PX4FMU, and the APM 2.5+ config UI doesn't seem to work in the /config branch currently.
