-add new NAVIGATION_STATE_ALTITUDE_VOYAGER
-this mode does require manual control to enter
-but you can disable the manual control loss failsafe to continue
flying in case of manual control loss
-for MC: in throttle and yaw are controlled like in Altitude mode,
the tilt is controlled via integrated rate input (similar to Acro,
but with tilt limit)

- The velocity constraint gets set from multiple places e.g. Position slow knob and altitude related slow down. Depending on the execution order it was overwritten with a higher value again not obeying a stricter limit.
- The slowdown used valocities as inputs instead of the ratio of available altitude.
In an effort to reduce configuration space.
I've not seen use for this option.
If a pilot flies manually in position mode he has some visual reference of the vehicle and can do better than an autonomous mode without position reference.
Also by now we have nudging in Descend mode so the pilot can still give input and the only difference is it automatically goes down instead of the pilot having to descend by stick to land.
This allows external modes to individually check if they are flagged as
invalid/unresponsive.
Previously this was done only based on whether or not ArmingCheckRequest
was received, which does not work when multiple modes are running.
based on the message timestamp.
Previously it was possible to run into the following case:
- 2 external modes are registered (running inside the same ROS node)
- they time out due to the micro xrce agent being blocked for some reason
- PX4 removes them
- the latest arming check replies still arrive to PX4
- the application restarts
- the first mode gets registered
- PX4 handles the previous arming check reply, and clears
waiting_for_first_response, which reduces the timeout
- the second mode registers and as part of that checks for message
compatibility. This takes ~1s, triggering a timeout of the first mode
