v26.0.0

Breaking

• refactor!: TrackContainer/MultiTrajectory surfaces, jacobians, meas access (44c343b) (@paulgessinger)

• This changes the contract between TrackContainer, MultiTrajectory and their backends. Notably it

  • Adds dedicated methods for surface manipulation that are used by the backend:
    • referenceSurface_impl to get a reference surface by index. It returns a pointer, and a new method hasReferenceSurface on the proxies compares it to nullptr to check if a reference surface is set
    • setReferenceSurface_impl to set a reference surface
    • has_impl for both backend types is not expected to respond to referenceSurface anymore.
  • In MultiTrajectory, the backend is no longer expected to return an index referencing a jacobian, measurement or measurement covariance. Instead, the dedicated methods jacobian_impl, measurement_impl and measurementCovariance_impl are now called by the proxy with the state index directly, leaving the backend to implement index traversal. has_impl is not expected to respond to calibrated, calibratedCov, jacobian anymore.
