This was a real issue for long paths and not a flight safety issue for regular users, but could have been an issue for developers trying to use FTP on very deep nested file systems
We don't want to reset the current waypoint because this means that the
ground stations see a current waypoint of 0 if the current waypoint is
not updated e.g. when we're not in mission mode.
However, it is wrong to send 0 as the current waypoint because if we
switch back to mission mode, it will actually go to the last current
waypoint and not 0.
The sensors app assumed that all topics are published on boot which is not necessarily true and it assumed that all publications had valid data. This change ensures that topics are initialized as they update the first time and that the consistency check only runs on topics which carry valid data.
- weathervane on takeoff
- separate cruising speeds for VTOL in MC and FW
- cruising speed resets
- mission work item logic is more clear
- fixed double execution of certain work item states
- enable cruise speed change on the fly by command
- moved VTOL transition target position generation to mission code and set always
Move RC and DL failsafe actions handling from navigator to commander (credits to @AndreasAntener)
Separate manual kill switch handling via manual_lockdown to prevent override and release of software lockdown by RC switch

Add failsafe tune
Fix LED blinking for Pixracer
Return back support for rc inputs in simulator but now it is configurable via cmake
this fixes a race condition between the DMA completion handler
updating registers in px4io and the mixer used for handling the
override state. The register set code could set r_page_servos[]
between the time when pwm_limit_calc() is called and the servos are
actually output.
