Description

The ability to add arbitrary `#define`s would be welcome. e.g. in the `AP_TemperatureSensor` library, it would be nice to be able to:
- set the number of sensors by defining `AP_TEMPERATURE_SENSOR_MAX_INSTANCES`
- disable TSYS03 default address checking by defining `AP_TEMPERATURE_SENSOR_TSYS03_ENFORCE_KNOWN_VALID_I2C_ADDRESS=0`

This is done with waf using `--define`. A text box / form to add `#define` names / values could be added to allow the equivalent from the custom build server.

Research direction

Start by tracing the custom build server's form or request handling and how it invokes waf with --define. The change is complete when users can enter arbitrary define names and values and those definitions reach the custom build equivalently to waf --define; the issue names no specific files or tests.
