- rotates accel & gyro FIFO data before publication both to simplify downstream usage (including log review) and fix other issues
- to best handle int16_t data rotations are now either performed with swaps if possible, otherwise promoted to float, rotated using the full rotation matrix, then rounded back to int16_t
- fix sensors/vehicle_angular_velocity filter reset both with proper rotation and new calibration uncorrect helper
- in FIFO case filtering is done before calibration is applied, but we need to handle a possible reset from a completely different sensor (vehicle body angular velocity -> sensor frame uncorrected data)
- in multi-EKF mode the EKF selector becomes repsonsible for sensor
selector rather than the sensors module
- this updates the sensors module to still make the initial primary IMU
selection on startup before the EKF selector (including if the
estimators never fully initialize)
- generate PWM_MAIN 1-14
- generate PWM_AUX 1-8
- generate PWM_EXTRA 1-8
- px4io and pwm_out directly read configuration parameters
- only available and active physical outputs are actually shown for configuration
- overall saves flash despite adding many new parameters
- parameter updates can be quite expensive because they trigger nearly all modules to reload all of their parameters immediately
- limit modules from updating faster than once per second
- 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

- the purpose is to ensure that every WorkItem (and WorkItems scheduled
by WorkItems) is allowed to run to completion every step
- per workqueue register a lockstep component whenever a work item is
added (if not already registered)
- once the work queue is empty unregister component
- ekf2 can now run in multi-instance mode (currently up to 9 instances)
- in multi mode all estimates are published to alternate topics (eg estimator_attitude instead of vehicle_attitude)
- new ekf2 selector runs in multi-instance mode to monitor and compare all instances, selecting a primary (eg N x estimator_attitude => vehicle_attitude)
- sensors module accel & gyro inconsistency checks are now relative to the mean of all instances, rather than the current primary (when active ekf2 selector is responsible for choosing primary accel & gyro)
- existing consumers of estimator_status must check estimator_selector_status to select current primary instance status
- ekf2 single instance mode is still fully supported and the default
