- 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.

once the rampup starts. The rampup requires a valid vertical velocity setpoint.
The corner case is:
- We are before takeoff and amending the setpoint to be 0,0,100 acceleration
in order to idle
- The rampup starts BUT the setpoint is not yet overwritten by the trajectory
setpoint topic
- The idle setpoint gets amended to not contain a feed-forward vertical
acceleration because the rampup is velocity based
- The result is a brief invalid 0,0,NAN acceleration setpoint
- That invalid setpoint gets overridden by a failsafe that holds zero velocity
- Zero velocity leads to applying ~hover thrust briefly
Don't consider these params for vertical speed threshold,
and instead increase the default for LNDMC_Z_VEL_MAX and
use solely that one. Makes the land detector outcome more
predictable and its interal logic simpler, while the new
default tuning is resulting in about the same vz threshold
as before.

- trajectory_setpoint and vehicle_local_position_setpoint used to be
the same data type
- we got extremely lucky here that this didn't cause any issues due to
all the fields still aligning
-always reset roll/pitch/yaw integrators at the same time
-reset them while waiting for launch or during FW Takeoff before Climbout
-reset wheel rate integrator only when disarmed

Since the horizontal and vertical velocity controllers are now
decoupled, it can be that the horizontal acceleration produced by the
controller is actually greater than the desired one (by design). This
condition would actually make the ARW run "backwards", degrading the
controller performance.
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.

This is a combination of the originally introduced delay:
06c10f61c1
then the emergency failsafe being changed to not just land,
position control being rescheduled to not overwrite every setpoint in:
e502214429576ce68ac3fee9d2db19112f4604b9
and it being fixed by overwriting the setpoint but not removing
the long obsolete hystersis here:

The current practice of adding topics to the default set isn't scalable,
as it affects all setups.
By making sure topics are advertised on init, logger can just discard
topics that don't exist. This does not work for all topics, so topics are
specifically marked as optional. It can be extended to more topics later
on though.
This reduces the list of topics by ~35 on a pixracer configured as quad,
and reduces RAM usage by ~1KB.
