- handle SET_POSITION_TARGET_LOCAL_NED and SET_POSITION_TARGET_GLOBAL_INT with ORB_ID(trajectory_setpoint)
- FlightTaskOffboard not needed at all
- bypass position_setpoint_triplet entirely (start removing extraneous fields)
- simplify offboard_control_mode to map to supported control modes
- ekf2 can now run in multi-instance mode (currently up to 9 instances)
- in multi mode all estimates are published to alternate topics (eg estimator_attitude instead of vehicle_attitude)
- new ekf2 selector runs in multi-instance mode to monitor and compare all instances, selecting a primary (eg N x estimator_attitude => vehicle_attitude)
- sensors module accel & gyro inconsistency checks are now relative to the mean of all instances, rather than the current primary (when active ekf2 selector is responsible for choosing primary accel & gyro)
- existing consumers of estimator_status must check estimator_selector_status to select current primary instance status
- ekf2 single instance mode is still fully supported and the default

The EAS is the calibrated airspeed corrected with a scaling factor to account for sensor error/placement of pitot.

* 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
* 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
- airframes that are not well trimmed rely on the integrator to learn
the offset. This change can help improve altitude hold during transitions

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.
* VTOL trans: changed that now in transition for both MC and FW the corresponding (correct) attitude controller is running
* attitude setpoint for stabilized mode is generated by tailsitter.cpp
* reset yaw setpoint during transition to avoid big yaw errors after
transition back to hover
* VT_TYPE parameter: added "reboot required" metadata
* 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
- prior to this fix the fw attiude controller used airspeed to scale control
surfaces even though airspeed was disabled
