The current practice of adding topics to the default set isn't scalable,
as it affects all setups.
By making sure topics are advertised on init, logger can just discard
topics that don't exist. This does not work for all topics, so topics are
specifically marked as optional. It can be extended to more topics later
on though.
This reduces the list of topics by ~35 on a pixracer configured as quad,
and reduces RAM usage by ~1KB.
CA: fix saturation computation
Since the CA matrix is normalized, the same scale applied to be used when using the effectiveness matrix
MCRateControl: use control_allocator_status to get saturation info
- naming consistency (estimator prefix as "namespace")
- only publish if baro is available and bias is changing as a small logging optimization
- avoid unnecessary copying (get const reference to status directly)
- trivial code style fixes
* msg: Add estinator information and warning events message (estimator_event_flags)
* ekf2: publish information and warning events
* logger: log estimator_event_flags
* update ecl submodule to latest

- publish wind estimate only from EKF, and wind speeds from airspeed selector to new separate topic (airspeed_wind)
- rename message wind_estimate to wind
- publish wind from currently used ekf instance (ekf2selector)

- new heater_status logging message
- run continously at low rate until configured sensor is found
- fix px4io fd bugs (fd open/close/ioctl must be same thread)
- currently the main change is that it reduces the max number of ORB multi instances to 4, but usage will be expanded as needed
- limits number of EKF2 multi instances to 2.
- enabled on all cortex m4 boards
- handle saving the mag bias per sensor (across all estimator instances using that mag) in sensors/vehicle_magnetometer
- this is now saving back to the actual mag calibration CAL_MAGn_OFF{X,Y,Z}
- ekf2 reset mag mag bias on any magnetometer or calibration change
- use Kalman filter scheme to update stored mag bias parameters using all available bias estimates for that sensor

- log all estimator (ekf2) flags as separate booleans in a new dedicated low rate message (only publishes at 1 Hz or immediately on any change)
- this is a bit verbose, but it avoids the duplicate bit definitions we currently have across PX4 msgs, ecl analysis script, flight review, and many other custom tools and it's much easier for casual log review in FlightPlot, PlotJuggler, csv, etc
- for compatibility I've left estimator_status filter_fault_flags, innovation_check_flags, and solution_status_flags in place, but they can gradually be removed as tooling is updated

- split out switches from manual_control_setpoint into new message manual_control_switches
- manual_control_switches published at minimal rate (~ 1 Hz) or immediately on change
- simple switch debounce in rc_update (2 consecutive identical decodes required)
- manual_control_switches logged at full rate rather than sampled at (5-10% of messages logged)
- manual_control_setpoint publish at minimal rate unless changing
- commander handle landing gear switch for manual modes
- processing of mode_slot and mode_switch is now split so we only do one or the other (not both)
- a future step will be to finally drop mode_switch and accompanying switches entirely

- reset IMU bias on calibration change (only works with multi-ekf)
- standardize PX4_INFO/PX4_WARN/PX4_ERR output for multi-ekf with instance number
