- split out switches from manual_control_setpoint into new message manual_control_switches
- manual_control_switches published at minimal rate (~ 1 Hz) or immediately on change
- simple switch debounce in rc_update (2 consecutive identical decodes required)
- manual_control_switches logged at full rate rather than sampled at (5-10% of messages logged)
- manual_control_setpoint publish at minimal rate unless changing
- commander handle landing gear switch for manual modes
- processing of mode_slot and mode_switch is now split so we only do one or the other (not both)
- a future step will be to finally drop mode_switch and accompanying switches entirely

- this is to prevent vtol_att_control running at absurdly high rates (kilohertz) from every single actuator controls publication from both the multicopter and fixed wing controllers
- I don't really like this solution, but it works for now until there are larger VTOL architectural changes in place
- create common uORB::PublicationBase
- uORB::PublicationQueued types are now type aliases
- ORB_PRIO use enum type everywhere to avoid accidental misuse
- PX4Accelerometer/PX4Gyroscope/etc driver libs explicitly advertise on construction, unadvertise on destruction. This is a workaround for any potential issues that might appear when accel/gyro cdev and uORB indexing doesn't align.
* VTOL type: add new parameter VT_FWD_TRHUST_EN for customizing pusher/tilt assist
Depending on the setting of this param, the pusher assist is:
-completely disabled (default)
-enabled in pos, alt and auto mode (except LAND)
-enabled in pos, alt and auto mode if above MPC_LAND_ALT1
-enabled in pos, alt and auto mode if above MPC_LAND_ALT2
-enabled in pos, alt and auto mode
(before it was always disabled in LAND mode)
-change default of VT_FWD_THRUST_SC from 0 to 0.7

The device path is needed to apply PWM limits on the motors that are not
used for FW flight (switch them off). With this parameter the device path can be set
to either IO or FMU, depending on whether the motors are on the IO or FMU port.

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)

This change is necessary to give the pilot the ability to switch VTOL state
even if for some reason no attitude sp are published anymore.

- 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
and remove the px4_ prefix, except for px4_config.h.

Transitional headers for submodules are added (px4_{defines,log,time}.h)
* adds a work_queue systemcmd that will bring a tree view of all active work queues and work items
* WorkQueues now track attached WorkItems and will shutdown when the last WorkItem is detached
