Terrain is the state: terrain vertical position
Hagl (height above ground level) is the vertical distance between the
vertical position and the terrain vertical position
* mission: skip a vtol takoff mission item if already in air and a fixed wing
* MissionBase: also skip FW takeoff when already in-air

* mission: use setNextMissionItem to skip vtol takeoff when already in air
* mission: Only skip the VTOL takeoff in air for mission and rtl mission
If flying RTL mission reverse it must still include the takeoff point.

Without this flag the command silently succeeds even though the logs contains
an error. It's much more developer friendly to fail early in case of an error.
The log path is then also shown in the console output.
- MPC_VEL_LP: new velocity first order low pass filter (off by default)
- MPC_VEL_NF_FRQ/MPC_VEL_NF_BW: new velocity notch filter (off by default)
- MPC_VELD_LP: existing velocity derivative low pass filter, but I've dropped the remaining controllib usage
The case where the airframe maintainer wants to enforce a reset to airframe is
not covered anymore with the `param set-default` mechanism. For products based
on PX4 this is still required to ensure proper functionality after a major update.

years, but were hardcoded into old versions of QGC

Compared to GNSS, alternate position observation methods are less accurate
and thus generally not good enough to do airspeed validation with.
Airspeed validation is thus disabled if no GNSS fusion is happening.

innovation checks
- this check already uses an integrator and so adding more delay just makes
log analysis more difficult and does not really add any value

This fixes various edge cases when input is set to both: RC and
MAVLink gimbal protocol v2.
Specifically:
- We no longer immediately reset primary control if there is no update,
otherwise this will reset immediately after an commands.
- Talking of commands: GIMBAL_MANAGER_CONFIGURE no longer switches
control to MAVLink but only an actual incoming setpoint command does.
- And incoming setpoint command only triggers UpdatedActiveOnce which
means we will check RC again afterwards and if there is big movement
switch back to RC. That's the intuitive thing to do until we have
better reporting about who/what is in control.
- Also, with RC we no longer always set us to be in control but only on
major movement.

- compute scaling factor to maximize resolution
fix: ControlAllocator float and int comparison bug
There was an incorrect comparison between a float variable `dt` and a `uint64_t` value representing 5 milliseconds (`5_ms`). As a result, `do_update` could never become true even if the last torque setpoint was received more than 5 milliseconds before.
To solve this, the `5_ms` value has been converted to seconds (0.005f) for the comparison with `dt`.
In this mode, the mag is used to inilialize the heading.
During flight, the heading is predicted using gyros and corrected
by GNSS measurements if available.
Previously, if a mag was not required (not index 0 and not used by ekf),
it was not counted in num_enabled_and_valid_calibration.
If a user set SYS_HAS_MAG to e.g. 3, it would then trigger a preflight
failure, even if there were 3 calibrated and enabled mags.
The EKF can recover from an initial bad earth mag field estimate.
Constraining the field is not necessary and can lead to an unpredicted
behavior of the filter.
Declination fusion is safe to run even when the horizontal field is 0
On slowly moving vehicles (e.g.: boats, rovers), the yaw estimator has
worse convergence than the main EKF. Resetting the mag states using the
yaw estimator as reference can lead to poor heading. Also, the EKF can
recover really well from initially incorrect mag states.
