WIP:compass: Add support for polling uncalibrated devices

Aims to address #310

  • data/80-iio-sensor-proxy.rules: Add rule matching pollable compasses
  • src/drivers.h: Add iio_poll_compass_uncalibrated
  • src/drv-iio-poll-compass-uncalibrated.c: Add driver able to handle calibration data
  • src/meson.build: Build new driver

TODO:

  • Gather calibration samples
  • Start/Stop Calibration (DBus)
  • Load Calibration Data from disk (currently hardcoded for my device)
  • Not sure if I'm doing the heading correctly

With this MR the geoclue user will see heading changes:

mobian@mobian:/sys/bus/iio/devices/iio:device2$ sudo su - geoclue -s /usr/bin/monitor-sensor
