* fix submarine sitl: indicate motor channel range 0..1 or -1..1 in simulation_mavlink.cpp (#16637)
change motor_count variable to 'pos_thrust_motor_count'
This is more specific to what is actually happening in the code.
'pos_thrust_motors_count' indicates number of motor channels which are configured with 0..1 range (positive thrust) all other motors are configured for -1..1 range
submarine only have motors with -1..1 range.
Thus, pos_thrust_motor_count = 0

- 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

* add support for unmanned underwater vehicles:
* airframe uuv_generic + uuv_hippocammpus including mav_type = 12 for submarines
* mixer for UUVs with X-shaped thruster setup similar to quadcopter
* add module uuv_att_control for underwater robot attitude control
* add rc.uuv_defaults/apps for autostarting e.g. ekf2 and uuv_att_control app
