It is more intuitive to use the roll stick as lateral control input given that drones defined this category, plus this is how consumer car / rover radio controls have been working already.
This commit moves the steering output from yaw to the roll channel to better reflect the lateral control input / reaction mapping. It also removes old unused parameters and modernizes the mainloop to remove unnecessary polling.
- parameter updates can be quite expensive because they trigger nearly all modules to reload all of their parameters immediately
- limit modules from updating faster than once per second
- ekf2 can now run in multi-instance mode (currently up to 9 instances)
- in multi mode all estimates are published to alternate topics (eg estimator_attitude instead of vehicle_attitude)
- new ekf2 selector runs in multi-instance mode to monitor and compare all instances, selecting a primary (eg N x estimator_attitude => vehicle_attitude)
- sensors module accel & gyro inconsistency checks are now relative to the mean of all instances, rather than the current primary (when active ekf2 selector is responsible for choosing primary accel & gyro)
- existing consumers of estimator_status must check estimator_selector_status to select current primary instance status
- ekf2 single instance mode is still fully supported and the default

- sensor_combined is only used for scheduling in this module under certain circumstances and should be reviewed and replaced
- fixes https://github.com/PX4/Firmware/issues/15628
* fix formatting
* RoverPositionControl: Support Actuator Control Setpoints (fixes#13192)
* RoverPositonControl: remove control modes, that aren't currently implemented
* RoverPositionControl: use new Publication API
and remove the px4_ prefix, except for px4_config.h.

Transitional headers for submodules are added (px4_{defines,log,time}.h)
* Enable velocity control for rover
* Address comments
* Use pid for speed control
* Calculate steering commands correctly
* Use local velocity estimates to avoid global position dependency
