Explicitly associate a Sensor and a sensor type
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
The association was implicit so far: in some abstract operations we
retrieved a Sensor instance's "associated sensor type" without ever
specifying what it actually meant.

Doing this also simplifies algorithms that retrieved a sensor type via a
Sensor instance's platform sensor.

Related to #463.
