This backend will keep all updated data in RAM and
persist the data between reboots using flash memory.
Using only flash memory would result in a slow backend that
would decrease the lifetime of the flash memory, using both
we can reduce the several cycles of erase & write into flash
and keep the performance of the backend almost as fast
as the RAM only backend.
Note: Do not use this backend on a sector from the same flash memory
bank as the memory bank that STM32 read instructions or it can block
the CPU from fetching instructions from flash during the erase and
write operations and cause your drone crash.
This saves almost 2kb of RAM when using the mavlink shell. 70 matches the
size of the mavlink message. Since the pipe is blocking, a process writing
a lot of data will just wait, data will not be dropped.
The mavlink shell is the only process creating a pipe.

The initialization code is redundant and incomplete (only the first sensor
is done). I verified that all drivers already set this on startup.
For the mags, they all set their maximum supported update rate.
For the baro, the call can silently fail, as for example the MS5611 which
does not support 150Hz update. But it also sets the maximum in
initialization.
Tested on Pixhawk & pixracer.
Make the target EKF rate an integer multiple of the IMU rate. This slightly increases the average prediction time step for the EKF from just over 10msec to 12msec, but the variation reduces significantly which makes filter tuning more deterministic.
Improve the algorithm used to adjust the collection time criteria to reduce jitter in the correction.
This was incorrectly using the IMU (1/250 sec) timestamp instead of the EKF (1/100 sec) value.
The corresponding accelerometer limit has been made a parameter and adjusted to match previous behaviour.
In HIL mode we do not start the sensors anymore, so this is not needed.
Also it did not work (I did not try to find the reason, just noticed the
sensors kept publishing in HIL mode)
On SITL startup we got a datalink lost failsafe message whenever home
was initialized. The reason that in standalone SITL, there is usually no
datalink connected. However, on ground, we shouldn't really failsafe,
therefore it makes sense not to enter the state in the first place.
