Xplane SDK for compilation

In order to allow older version of xplane to use XPLMServer the SDK folder is adapted.

On Windows :

Have a environement variable called "xplaneSDK" pointing to the root of your SDK. In the CHeaders file add a win64 (and/or win32) folder containing the header for the SDK.

SDK\
|- CHeaders/
|     |-  *win32/ (contains the CHeaders of XPlane SDK v2.1.3 or less)
|     |- win64/ (contains the CHeaders of Xplane SDK v3.0.0+ (FOR XP11) or v2.1.3 (or less) (for any other XP version)
|- Libraries/
      |- Mac/
      |- Win/
          |- *XPLM.lib
          |- XPWidgets.lib
          |- *XPLM_64.lib
          |- XPWidgets_64.lib
* = if needed to target 32bits versions

On MacOs:

• Have one variable environement pointing toward X-Plane name "xplane".
• Have one variable environement pointing toward X-Plane SDK name "xplane_sdk"
• run make to build the plugin into ./build/XPLMServer
• run make publish to export toward [X-Plane Root]/Resources/plugins/XPLMServer
