- skip avionics rail voltage check when USB connected
- skip forced reboot on USB disconnect if circuit breaker set
- avionics voltage preflight check don't silently fail if system_power unavailble
- explicitly set supply check circuit breaker (CBRK_SUPPLY_CHK)
- always check with state machine before reboot/shutdown
- respect BOARD_HAS_POWER_CONTROL (shutdown from command, low battery, power button)
- px4_shutdown_request add optional delay and always execute from HPWORK
- px4_shutdown_request split out px4_reboot_request
This is to prevent a wrong (false positive) failure detection of the airspeed
shortly after system boot due to delays in driver and/or estimator startup (seen in SITL).

- Avoid constantly adjusting the velocity gains with the HTE
- Make sure the hover thrust integral update doesn't break
even though its unit is acceleration and not unit thrust anymore
We need to convert the velocity gains to not contain/depend on the
hover thrust. In horizontal direction it doesn't make sense to scale
them with the hover thrust and in vertical direction the adjustments are
already done in the acceleration to collective thrust conversion.
- create common uORB::PublicationBase
- uORB::PublicationQueued types are now type aliases
- ORB_PRIO use enum type everywhere to avoid accidental misuse
- PX4Accelerometer/PX4Gyroscope/etc driver libs explicitly advertise on construction, unadvertise on destruction. This is a workaround for any potential issues that might appear when accel/gyro cdev and uORB indexing doesn't align.
Because the takeoff ramp is a vertical velocity limit ramp for the
nice user experience but the acceleration feed-forward can
add on top of the output and depending on trajectory generation
result in unwanted thrust changes during the ramp.
* Land Enabled
* Declared Subscriptor in header as originally intended.
In the header it caused SIGSEGV in my machine so that's why it was moved
to .cpp
* Code Style fixed
* Removed confusing comments
* Comment update

* VTOL type: add new parameter VT_FWD_TRHUST_EN for customizing pusher/tilt assist
Depending on the setting of this param, the pusher assist is:
-completely disabled (default)
-enabled in pos, alt and auto mode (except LAND)
-enabled in pos, alt and auto mode if above MPC_LAND_ALT1
-enabled in pos, alt and auto mode if above MPC_LAND_ALT2
-enabled in pos, alt and auto mode
(before it was always disabled in LAND mode)
-change default of VT_FWD_THRUST_SC from 0 to 0.7

Instead of blocking the receiver thread while playing a tune we now copy
the tune to a buffer and check if we can play the next note on each
iteration of the receiver thread.
The buffer and tune object is only created on the heap if we receive a
tune to play once and doesn't use resources otherwise.
The old tune device interface is not working anymore and we need to
publish to uORB tune_control.
This solution is not optimal though because blocks the receiving thread.
- this fixes the case where the navigator publishes a loiter waypoint or any
waypoint which is too close to the vehicle.

- bring in PX4/ecl#795 "EKF: Improve covariance prediction stability"
- the ecl/EKF filter update period has changed from 8 ms to 10 ms
- change default integration period 4000 us -> 2500 us (aligns with new EKF filter update period)
The device path is needed to apply PWM limits on the motors that are not
used for FW flight (switch them off). With this parameter the device path can be set
to either IO or FMU, depending on whether the motors are on the IO or FMU port.

HTE runs based on the position controller so, even if we whish to use
the estimate, it is only available in altitude and position modes.
Therefore, we need to always initialize the hoverThrottle using the hover
thrust parameter in case we fly in stabilized
Adjusting the tilt limit can lead to diverging position control
and should only be used by setting a sanity limit for the controller
and not to adjust during the descent phase of a Land or RTL.
Otherwise it leads to flyaways in important failsafe modes when
there's stronger disturbance e.g. wind.
The hover thrust estimator (HTE) starts to run after the first thrust
setpoint is published. Until then, the feedforward of the vertical
velocity controller was unitialized (= 0). This is now set to hover
thrust parameter until the estimate is available.
