5f3cbbbbc2 mc_pos_control: changed thrust calculation to 3D projection onto body z axis
until now the desired thrust was simply the absolute value of the thrust setpoint vector
but a multicopter is only capable of producing thrust in its (negative) body z axis
this leads to excess thrust during attitude tracking errors

one important use case is:
trying to land with minimal thrust in NED z axis against gravity
but the position controller still correcting some small horizontal estimation errors
then this prevents unwanted thrust in a completely wrong direction

7ab2958757 land_detector: added takeoff throttle threshold
if we control manually and are still landed, we want to stay idle until the pilot rises the throttle

5529023ec1 mc_pos_control: added feed forward hover thrust
the velocity controller was misusing the integral part to account for the constant gravitational force offset
the hover throttle from the parameter is now is now directly used as feed forward for the thrust in world z direction
the integrator compensates for inaccurate paarameter but should now be idealy zero

79d682e740 Master uavcan mainline (#6313)
* Update libuavcan to upstream master with PX4 contrib for NuttX 7.16+

* Release any 64B blocks not needed by usavcan after FW server is stopped.

  We simply call the srrink methode after the server stop.
  See https://github.com/PX4/Firmware/pull/3005#issue-111885687

ba2efff70f Updated libuavcan submodule with upstream ci fix.
This commit does not effect PX4 it just points to a commit
   that fixes a CI failure introduced in the changes upstrem to
   support the nuttx upgrade to 7.16+

30f80515ec fix logger: sscanf was used wrong for custom topics file
using scanf with %s reads until the first whitespace, which included the
comma (as per C standard and tested on linux). Behavior on NuttX differs.

This makes it work on both Linux and Nuttx.
