* VTOL trans: changed that now in transition for both MC and FW the corresponding (correct) attitude controller is running
* attitude setpoint for stabilized mode is generated by tailsitter.cpp
* reset yaw setpoint during transition to avoid big yaw errors after
transition back to hover
* VT_TYPE parameter: added "reboot required" metadata
To be able to still infer the direction of the thrust vector we
limit it to a minimal length even if MPC_THR_MIN is set to zero.
Note: This is a hotfix for certain specific applications.
The direction of the thrust vector in this corner case is very
likely to get into the tilt limit which is generally undesired.
A low gyro cutoff is needed for most medium/large size drones as the structural natural and blade-pass frequencies are low.
A higher value is still desirable for small platforms surch as racers
or well isolated autopilots and should be tuned by the user.
Specific values for config files are untouched.
The cutoff filter for the D term is disabled here as the required
cutoff frequency for the default D term of the rate controller is higher
than the gyro cutoff. In that case, enabling the D term cutoff would
just add some undesired phase lag to the derivative.
This fixes a potential dead-lock when 'uorb status' was used via MAVLink
shell.
The dead-lock chain is: DeviceMaster::lock() -> printf -> output to a pipe,
which blocks until a reader reads the data. In that case it's mavlink.
If mavlink makes a call that requires DeviceMaster::lock() (such as
orb_exists), it dead-locks.
This patch moves all printf's out of the locked state.
- when either terrain data was temporarily not valid (flying at high
distance to the ground) or the vehicle was not close to the ground
(_param_ekf2_gnd_max_hgt) the ekf switched to using the land detector
ground effect flag.

- takeoff help is used for fixed wings, it increases the altitude setpoint
after a launch. A vtol does not need this as it's already sufficiently
high up in the air.

the condition to enter the rc mode switch evaluation was neglecting
the first connection of an RC when "no RC switch changed". this means
depending on the actual initialization values of _last_sp_man and the
desired mode preselected on the RC while connecting it would not get
evaluated.
The Pixhawk cube as an internal mag on SPI. If there was a bad register
read (e.g. on an IMU failure), _register_wait was non-zero and there was
no transfer but _mag still published mpu_report.mag.
By declaring the params above the navigator modes inheriting from
mission block we make sure the params in navigator are set before
read in the constructor of mission block.
This should fix the case where the driver initializes even though the
device is not found. The change changes the behavior to return ERROR
if the whoami call fails several times instead of returning OK.
Also, the reset() and thus probe() calls are moved before initializing
the ringbuffer and device name.
* match max vel in col-prev to regular pos ctrl
* change warning criterium to avoid float error
* disable push back from obstacles
* use floats consistently
