If the current yaw setpoint is valid we should use it to make the transition in this direction.
For a VTOL_TAKEOFF the yaw_setpoint is used to specify the transition direction (the
vehicle is aligned towards it and then transition is started). The current yaw can be
a bit off (e.g. because MIS_YAW_ERR is large), and it is better to track the actual setpoint.

Directly use yaw controls for it, and don't add it to the allocation matrix,
as that would have an effect on rudder scaling if the wheel also would have
a yaw effectiveness.

For most VTOLs the param defaults for the agressiveness of the MC attitude controller
are too high, as VTOLs usually have high intertia and lot af drag due to wings and
can thus not rotate as fast as MCs.

I think most vehicle can safely decend with at least 1.5m/s, and having this
value too low makes Descents/Landings/RTLs unnecessary long.

The VTOL default was set to 1, while the param default is 1.5.
I don't see why it shuold be a different default for VTOLs and thus remove it.

Navigator sets the cruise_speed to -1 if the controller shouldn't listen to
it and instead use the default speed (for MC: MPC_XY_CRUISE). This is for
example for RTL the case, where we want to return at the default speed,
independetly of what the mission speed before was.

This commit removes the additional airspeed check (airspeed for VTOLs in
hover below LNDFW_AIRSPD_MAX), as it is not a required condition in the
landed state (headwind blowing into the airspeed sensor won't stop
once on the gruond). In FW mode the check would make more sense, but there
the land detector is currently simply disabled.

This type (23) doesn't specify a motor number, so it can't be properly handled.

This replaces the propeller_torque_disabled flag to disable yaw by differential thrust
for tiltrotor and tailsitter VTOLs, as propeller_torque_disabled is not enough to set
effectiveness of an acutator in the yaw axis to 0 in case it's tilted.

Special case tiltrotor: instead of passing a 3D thrust vector (that would mostly have a x-component in FW, and z in
MC), pass the vector magnitude as z-component, plus the collective tilt. Passing 3D thrust plus tilt is not feasible as they
can't be allocated independently, and with the current controller it's not possible to have collective tilt calculated
by the allocator directly.

[4] is reserved for Flaps, so also having the tilt on it was preventing us from
using flaps on tiltrotors, and other ripple effects.
By using [8] the tilt is separated from all other channels - it requires to increase the size of
actuator_controls by 1 to 9.

Weather vane should only set a yawrate setpoint, but no yaw setpoint.
Setting it to NAN when WV is active makes sure that whatever _yaw_setpoint
is set previously (e.g. through Waypoint) is not used.

The forced flag is used to distinguish between updates due to a configuration
(parameter) change (only enabled when disarmed), and matrix updates due to motor
tilt change. Only update the normalization scale if the forced flag is true, and
use a tilt angle of vertical position for it to have the scales tilt-invariant.
