- when GNSS is used require low mag heading innovations during
horizontal acceleration (yaw observable) to validate the mag
- only fuse mag heading just enough to constrain the yaw estimate
variance to a sane value. Leave enough uncertainty to allow for a
correction when the yaw is observable through GNSS fusion
- split mag_3d into new standalone mag fusion and mag fusion allowed to update all states (full mag_3d)
- new dedicated control logic for mag/mag_3d fusion and standalone mag heading fusion
- if WMM available use for mag_I and mag_B init
- mag states reset if external yaw reset (yaw estimator, GPS yaw, etc)
- mag reset if declination changed (eliminate _mag_yaw_reset_req)
- mag fusion (but not mag_hdg or mag_3d) can be active during gps_yaw or ev_yaw (if yaw aligned north)

When at rest, directly fuse the gyro data as an observation of its bias.
This allows to strongly observe the gyro biases without having to fuse a
constant heading that makes the ekf too confident about its heading.
- refactor all EKF backend output predictor pieces into new OutputPredictor class
- output states are now calculated immediately with new high rate IMU rather than after EKF update
- IMU delayed sample is passed as around as control data to avoid storing an extra copy and make the requirement clear
- move EV yaw and EV position to new state machines
- EV yaw and EV pos now configured via EKF2_EV_CTRL (migrated from EKF2_AID_MASK)
- new EV position offset estimator to enable EV position while GPS position is active (no more EV pos delta fusion)
- yaw_align now strictly means north (no more rotate external vision aid mask)
- automatic switching between EV yaw, and yaw align north based on GPS quality
During the whole flight, if the difference between the yaw estimate from
EKF2 and the emergency estimator is large and that the GNSS velocity
fusion is failing continuously, immediately reset to the emergency yaw
estimate.
- refactor updateQuaternion() to compute the yaw jacobian directly (respecting the rotation sequence determination)
- fuseHeading()/fuseYaw321()/fuseYaw312() helpers are eliminated and now mag heading fusion and EV yaw fusion compute the innovation in place
- clear up logic for performing zero innovation heading fusion when quaternion variance exceeds threshold (no more _is_yaw_fusion_inhibited flag manipulation)
- when at rest continue fusing last static heading with very low variance even if other heading sources are active
- remove class _mag_sample_delayed
- update mag fusion call graph to use mag sample delayed functionally
- Ekf::resetMagHeading()
- use low pass mag directly, but check if valid (magnitude)
- MAG_FUSE_TYPE_INDOOR treat like auto if heading required
- introduces new parameter EKF2_PREDICT_US to configure the filter
update period in microseconds
- actual filter update period will be an integer multiple of IMU
