1e56d9c219 Rework flaps/spoilers logic
- remove deprecated actuator_controls[INDEX_FLAPS/SPOILERS/AIRBRAKES]
- use new topic normalized_unsigned_setpoint.msg (with instances flaps_setpoint
and spoilers_setpoint) to pass into control allocation
- remove flaps/spoiler related fields from attitude_setpoint topic
- CA: add possibility to map flaps/spoilers to any control surface
- move flaps/spoiler pitch trimming to CA (previously called DTRIM_FLAPS/SPOILER)
- move manual flaps/spoiler handling from rate to attitude controller

FW Position controller: change how negative switch readings are intepreted
for flaps/spoilers (considered negative as 0).

VTOL: Rework spoiler publishing in hover

- pushlish spoiler_setpoint.msg in the VTOL module if in hover
- also set spoilers to land configuration if in Descend mode

Allocation: add slew rate limit of 0.5 to flaps/spoilers configuration change

Instead of doing the flaps/spoilers slew rate limiting in the FW Position Controller
(which then only is applied in Auto flight), do it consistently over all flight
modes, so also for manual modes.

16594bffa9 Rework landing gear logic
- remove deprecated actuator_controls[INDEX_LANDING_GEAR]
- remove dead code in mc rate controller that used to prevent it from being retracted
on the ground (anyway had no effect as it only affected the actuator_control[LANDING_GEAR]
which wasn't sent to the control allocation)
- for VTOLs handle deployment/retraction of landing gear in AUTO  as a MC (retract if
more than 2m above ground, deploy if WP is a landing WP), plus additionally when transition
flight task is called (ALTITUDE mode and higher)
- for FW in AUTO: add logic in FW Position Controller, depending on waypoint type mainly
- manual landing gear settings always come through (a manual command overrides a previous
auto command, and vice-versa)

4b54ddfe61 Remove INDEX_COLLECTIVE_TILT from actuator_controls and instead use new topic tiltrotor_extra_controls
Tiltrotor_extra_controls also contains collective thrust beside collective tilt, as passing a 3D
thrust setpoint vector beside the tilt is not feasible.

msg ROS2 compatibility, microdds_client improvements (timesync, reduced code size, added topics, etc), fastrtps purge
- update all msgs to be directly compatible with ROS2
 - microdds_client improvements
   - timesync
   - reduced code size
   - add to most default builds if we can afford it
   - lots of other little changes
 - purge fastrtps (I tried to save this multiple times, but kept hitting roadblocks)
