- previously the decision of being on a landing pattern was taken by just
looking at the current mission index. However, even if the current mission
index indicates a landing pattern the vehicle could be at an arbitrary location, far
from being established on the pattern.

NAV_CMD_LOITER_TO_ALT
- this allows vtol to track the loiter circle during the transition instead
of trying to fly to the landing position

This adds the option to limit the rate of change (slew rate) of an output that's mixed by a simple mixer.
To enable it, a positive number has to be added at the end (6th number) of the output scaler line of the mixer,
specifying the min rise time of this output.
E.g. O: 10000 10000 0 -10000 10000 20000 for a rise time of 2s, resp. a max slew rate of 0.5s^-1.

- the purpose is to ensure that every WorkItem (and WorkItems scheduled
by WorkItems) is allowed to run to completion every step
- per workqueue register a lockstep component whenever a work item is
added (if not already registered)
- once the work queue is empty unregister component
- this caused the navigator to use the next waypoint (after the vtol takeoff item)
to be used as target during the transition. If the altitude of that waypoint
was much higher than the takeoff altitude then there were FOH effects
after the transition which caused the vehicle to first descend before
climbing again.

This commit increases the send thread stack size and changes the thread affinity of the lockstep clocking topic. It also improves verbosity in case error states occur.
- log all estimator (ekf2) flags as separate booleans in a new dedicated low rate message (only publishes at 1 Hz or immediately on any change)
- this is a bit verbose, but it avoids the duplicate bit definitions we currently have across PX4 msgs, ecl analysis script, flight review, and many other custom tools and it's much easier for casual log review in FlightPlot, PlotJuggler, csv, etc
- for compatibility I've left estimator_status filter_fault_flags, innovation_check_flags, and solution_status_flags in place, but they can gradually be removed as tooling is updated
