if vmount was enabled in mavlink mode, it was continuously sending mavlink
commmands, which lead to 'command denied during calibration: 205' messages
during calibration.
This will initialize those structs with zero in all fields not set
and all fields set will only be change once to the final value not
wasting CPU time zeroing it.
This will guarantee that no non-unitialized structs will have
a trash value on from_external causing it to be sent to the
MAVLink channel without need it.
Reason: the value is easier to read & handle (for example plotting). In
most places the value is needed, not the integral.
Note that this breaks the replay format for sdlog2 replay
- voting is now at a central place instead of duplicated within the
estimators
-> this also means that estimators that did not do voting so far,
now have voting, like ekf2
- estimators requiring more than that can still subscribe to the raw
sensors
- allows sensors_combined to be 3 times smaller
- reduces logger, memcpy (cache) & RAM overhead
- all modules requiring only 1 or 2 sensor values now automatically get
the voted result
- this also adds voting to baro
Decreases the message size from 780 to 280 bytes.
In particular, all modules using sensor_combined must use the integral now.
The sensor value can easily be reconstructed by dividing with dt.
Voters now need to be moved into sensors module, because error count and
priority is removed from the topic.
Any module that requires additional data from a sensor can subscribe to
the raw sensor topics.
At two places, values are set to zero instead of subscribing to the raw
sensors (with the assumption that no one reads them):
- mavlink mavlink_highres_imu_t::abs_pressure
- sdlog2: sensor temperatures
If mavlink_log calls follow close after each other a later one will
replace the previous one. Therefore do a quick usleep to get the
calibration status out the door.
There were some missed calls to open and ioctl that need to be
px4_open and px4_ioctl.
QuRT also does not provide usleep() so px4_time.h has to be included
in files calling usleep.

Seems that mavlink_receiver_linux.cpp inherited the history
from mavlink_receiver.cpp so updates went to it vs mavlink_receiver_nuttx.cpp
Two module.mk files used ifdef instead of ifeq.

The commander module now compiles for Linux.
state_machine_helper_linux.cpp iterates over the virtual devices vs
all devices under /dev as per NuttX when disabling publishing.
