* Commander: make low remaining flight time configurable and do not clear
- add _ACT param to disable/warning/RTL this feature
- publish rtl flight time estimate also in RTL, and thus fix re-validation
- make failure message clearer, distinguish from battery low
* battery check: add hysteresis for declaring battery_low_remaining_time false again

Previously uORB queue size was an awkward mix of runtime configurable (at advertise or IOCTL before allocate), but effectively static with all queue size settings (outside of test code) actually coming from the topic declaration (presently ORB_QUEUE_LENGTH in the .msg). This change finally resolves the inconsistency making the queue size fully static.
Additionally there were some corner cases that the muorb and orb communicator implementation were not correctly handling. This PR provides fixes for those issues. Also correctly sets remote queue lengths now based on the topic definitions.
* Made setting of uORB topic queue size in based on topic definition only
* Fixes to the ModalAI muorb implementation
* Removed libfc sensor from format checks
* msg/TransponderReport.msg ORB_QUEUE_LENGTH 8->16 (was set to higher in AdsbConflict.h

1s gives some false positives at boot up, as the airspeed selector only
starts publishing 2s after its startup.

New thrust and torque control mode added which replaces the previous
actuator mode,
in this mode the rate controllers are disables, the control allocator
is enabled and the used externally provices
vehicle_thrust_setpoints and vehicle_torque_setpoints.
New direct_actuator mode
In direct_actuator mode the control allocator module does not publish
actuator_motors and actuator_servos messages which must instead be
provided extrernally by the user.
Removed old direct mode.

- do reporting of breaching in-air only in geofenceCheck
- remove geofence_violation_reason_t
- replace geofence_breached field in GeofenceResult.msg with 3 fields
(one for each GF type: max dist, max alt, custom geofence)
- the warning message after breaching a GF is only done by Commander,
and it's specific to the GF type failure

* created a Performance Model for fixed wing vehicle
- added compensation for maximum climbrate, minimum sinkrate, minimum airspeed and trim airspeed based on weight ratio and air density
- added atmosphere lib to standard atmosphere calculations

Has options *None where the check is disabled, and *Warning, where only a warning is
published (which replaces the high wind warning from the COM_WIND_WARN limit).

The command is sent by a dedicated mavlink command and forwarded to the fixed wing position controller.
The pattern is defined by the radius of the major axis, the radius of the minor axis and the orientation. The pattern is then defined by:
The upper part of the pattern consist of a clockwise circle with radius defined by the minor axis. The center of the circle is defined by the major axis minus the minor axis away from the pattern center.
The lower part of the pattern consist of a counter-clockwise circle with the same definitions as above.
In between, the circles are connected with straight lines in a cross configuration. The lines are always tangetial to the circles.
The orientation rotates the major axis around the NED down axis.
The loitering logic is defined inside its own class used by the fixed wing position control module. It defines which segment (one of the circles or lines) is active and uses the path controller (npfg or l1-control) to determine the desired roll angle.
A feedback mavlink message is send with the executed pattern parameters.
