Description

from @jdgratz10:

Desired capability or behavior.

The user is able to extend the variable hierarchy, but aviary currently assumes the only main hierarchies are mission and aircraft. We need to be able to support whatever top level hierarchies the user wants to provide. Create the capability for the user to be able to declare their set of top level hierarchies, potentially but not necessarily (if they don't have any subsystems that require it) including aircraft and/or mission.

For now, we will purely support aircraft and mission because we don't have time to perform this task, however, we need to clearly document current behavior and planned future behavior.

Research direction

The issue does not name files, tests, or an entry point. First map where Aviary defines and consumes the Mission and Aircraft top-level hierarchies, then document the current behavior and planned support for user-declared hierarchies; done means the current limitation and future capability are clearly recorded.
