This sets the throttle of the Multicopter actuators to the throttle stick position
while in Stabilized, Acro or Manual mode.

- main motors are the ones which are meant to be used as propulsion in fw mode
- alternate motors are the ones usually meant to be switched off in fw mode

As some tiltrotor systems need a certain tilt angle of their motors in oder to spin up freely,
this commit introduces an additional parameter VT_TILT_SPINUP and sets the motor tilt to
this value if disarmed or within 1s since arming.
The spinup consists of 2 phases:
1st phase fixed tilt (duration hardcoded to 1s)
2nd phase transition from spinup tilt to multicopter tilt (hardcoded to 0.5s)

- remove gloabl variable and instead give back forward_thrust from function
- give back increased vertical thrust from fct thrust_compensation_for_tilt()

-move pusher assist functionality into vtol_type class and adapt it to also
work for tiltrotor VTOLs (pitch rotors down to accelerate forward)
-for tiltrotor: compensate for lost lift due to tilt by increasing the throttle
-enable pusher / tiltassist also in altitude mode

* FW attitude controller, FW position controller and VTOL attitude controller subscribe to airspeed_validated topic
* add possibility to switch off the airspeed valid checks
* remove airspeed valid checks from commander
* clean up of VTOL transition logic
* Airspeed Selector: remove dynamic allocation of airspeed validators (depending on number of connected sensors) but do it statically for the maximum number allowed. Check for number of connected sensors not only during start up, but always when vehicle is disarmed.
* Airspeed Selector: change work queue from lp to att_pos_ctrl as this module is safety-critical
* add airspeed selector to px4_fmu-v2 defaults
This changes the enums used for various VTOL states to enum classes
which makes them type-safe and should avoid shadowing.
This change was motivated by a Clang warning about shadowing of the
enum const TRANSITION_TO_FW which was declared twice, once in
vtol_type.h and once in standard.h.
This change only removes the shadowing but presumably these enums could
be cleaned up and consolidated further.
* attitude and rate setpoint message: use 3D array for thrust demand
* FixedWingAttitudeControl: rework airspeed scaling
* move airspeed and scaling calculation into separate method
* if vtol in hover and airspeed disabled use minimum airspeed instead of trim airspeed
- do not set zero throttle during the entire back-transition because otherwise
we need to make the back-transition really short
- added ramping up of throttle setpoint during backtransition to avoid
step inputs
- back-transition ends after back-transition time and not when motors are fully
rotated updwards. previously the vehicle would enter hover mode at high speed
which was not handled well by the mc position controller

- moved methods used to modify channel maximum pwm value to VtolType
class so that the can be shared by the differnt vtol types
