- refactor all EKF backend output predictor pieces into new OutputPredictor class
- output states are now calculated immediately with new high rate IMU rather than after EKF update
- IMU delayed sample is passed as around as control data to avoid storing an extra copy and make the requirement clear
- update motor mapping to use new UART_ESC_FUNC* auto generated params
- add support for actuator_test msg to support Actuator Testing in QGC
- modalai_fc-vX targets start driver if configured
- keep track of ESC spin direction in own param
- set ramp up param in MixerOutput to false
- use `gazebo-classic` everywhere consistently referring to the original Gazebo (eg version 9,10,11)
- additional `gazebo_*` helper targets added for compatibility, but warn about deprecation and tell you the new target naming
- use `gz` everywhere when referring to Gazebo (aka Ignition Gazebo or new Gazebo)
For the esc_calibration code, the actuator test is published for each motor
in a row. If the orb queue size is too small, messages are lost and not
received in mixer_module.
Set the default orb queue size of ActuatorTest high enough to keep the commands
for all motors in the queue.

Strictly follow the following convention for tailsitter:
FW Attitude and FW rate controller always operate in the FW frame, meaning that roll is
roll in FW, which for tailsitter means around the yaw axis in the body frame. The interfaces
between modules is though always in body frame.
That enables us to do the axis transformations for tailsitter, that are currently distributed
all over the controller (attitude, rate, vtol module), only at the input and output data of modules.
Side effect is that the FW rate control tuning gains meanings change: while before the roll gains
where meant for the body axis, they are now always applied for the FW roll axis (also in hover). So
the naming now is correct for FW, while before it was for Hover.

This failsafe flag is currently used for not allowing to re-transition to FW, as well
as disabling pusher assist in hover. Till now it was only possible to reset it with
a commanded transition to MC, which many ground station interfaces didn't allow
as the system, after a quad-chute, already was in MC mode.
Hereby it is changed to reset when a new transition to FW is triggered (either via
RC switch or MAVLink command). It is the users responsibility to assess the situation
after a quad-chute happened to try to transition to FW again, manually proceed/land
the vehicle in MC, or let it finish the defined behavior after a quad-chute.
