- commander preflightcheck use estimator_sensor_bias message instead of EKF state index magic number
- ekf2 publish estimated bias limits in estimator_sensor_bias
- preflightcheck only error if bias estimate exceeds half of configured limit (delete COM_ARM_EKF_AB and COM_ARM_EKF_GB parameters)
- 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

The checks did previously only report the first failure (to not overload the radio link). As we are moving to buffered messages and higher bandwidth links this design choice is not any more in the best interest of the drone operator. We are now reporting all detected failures. To ensure architectural consistency more checks have been moved from the commander mainloop into the respective classes.
* PreFlightCheck: remove unused reportFailures flag
* Commander: pull all pre flight checks together on the PreFlightCheck class
* PreFlightCheck: separate checks into their own files
