- handle SET_POSITION_TARGET_LOCAL_NED and SET_POSITION_TARGET_GLOBAL_INT with ORB_ID(trajectory_setpoint)
- FlightTaskOffboard not needed at all
- bypass position_setpoint_triplet entirely (start removing extraneous fields)
- simplify offboard_control_mode to map to supported control modes
- 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
- 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

There was a gap where the attitude controller already used the estimate
with a new reference but the last known attitude setpoint was still based
on the old reference. This leads to a big glitch on reset because until
the attitude setpoint gets updated the error is wrong and as large as the
attitude delta of the reset.
The last attitude setpoint that is known from the position controller
is now kept inside the AttitudeControl class such that we don't
keep the whole vehicle_attitude_setpoint struct and always copy over from
there to run an update step.
* adds a work_queue systemcmd that will bring a tree view of all active work queues and work items
* WorkQueues now track attached WorkItems and will shutdown when the last WorkItem is detached
added and using circuit_breaker_enabled_by_val() where possible instead of circuit_breaker_enabled() which search for cbrk parameters by name, which is extensive process.
part to avoid having to scale its saturation separately. This is
required to avoid premature saturation of the integrator when using
the K term.
Also remove double saturation of the integrator
- MPC_MANTHR_MIN is used as minimum throttle in attitude control mode when
the vehicle is in air. This is useful to retain some control around roll and
pitch axis if airmode is not enabled and the user demands zero throttle.
However, when the vehicle is landed there is not need to keep the throttle
at a higher value than zero.

Reduce the I gain for high rate errors to reduce bounce-back effects after
flips. Up to 200 degrees the gain is almost not reduced (<25%), so this
will only take noticeable effects for large errors (setpoint changes),
where we actually want to have an effect.
This allows to increase the MC_*RATE_I parameters w/o negative effects
when doing flips (i.e. bounce-back after flips).
The 400 degrees limit and the x^2 are empirical.
The better the rate tracking in general (high P gain), the less this is
required (because of the lower tracking error). At the same time it also
does not harm, as the i_factor will always be close to 1.
This changes the enums used for various VTOL states to enum classes
which makes them type-safe and should avoid shadowing.
This change was motivated by a Clang warning about shadowing of the
enum const TRANSITION_TO_FW which was declared twice, once in
vtol_type.h and once in standard.h.
This change only removes the shadowing but presumably these enums could
be cleaned up and consolidated further.
