Navigator sets the cruise_speed to -1 if the controller shouldn't listen to
it and instead use the default speed (for MC: MPC_XY_CRUISE). This is for
example for RTL the case, where we want to return at the default speed,
independetly of what the mission speed before was.

- As it is always only used for the vehicle command ack message
- It was a duplicate, hence making it error prone for maintainment
- The uORB message comments were updated to make the relationship with
the MAVLink message / enum definitions clear
- this allows landing gear to retract automatically when doing a takeoff
and the vehicle is considered high enough

Fix Follow Perspective Param metadata
follow-me: use new trajectory_setpoint msg
Convert FollowPerspective enum into a Follow Angle float value
1. Increases flexibility in user's side, to set any arbitrary follow
angle [deg]
2. Removes the need to have a dedicated Enum, which can be a hassle to
make it match MAVSDK's side
3. A step in the direction of adding a proper Follow Mode (Perspective)
mode support, where we can support kite mode (drone behaves as if it is
hovering & getting dragged by the target with a leash) or a constant
orbit angle mode (Drone always on the East / North / etc. side, for
cinematic shots)

- Support Follow Angle configuration instead of Follow Direction
- Change follow position tolerance logic to use the follow angle
*Still work in progress!

- Cleanup on variable names and comment on code
follow-me: disable SITL test
Need to update MAVSDK with the following PR:
https://github.com/mavlink/MAVSDK/pull/1770
SITL is failing now because the follow-me
perspectives are no longer defined the
same way in MAVSDK and in the flight task.

follow-me sitl test: simpler "state machine"
flight_mode_manager: exclude AutoFollowTarget and Orbit on flash contrained boards
Remove unnecessary follow_target_status message properties
- As it eats up FLASH and consumes uLog bandwidth
rename follow_me_status to follow_target_status
enable follow_target_estimator on skynode
implement the responsiveness parameter:
The responsiveness parameter should behave similarly to the previous
follow-me implementation in navigator. The difference here is that
there are now two separate gains for position and velocity fusion.
The previous implemenation in navigator had no velocity fusion.
Allow follow-me to be flown without RC
SITL tests for follow-me flight task
This includes:
- Testing the setting for the follow-me angle
- Testing that streaming position only or position
and velocity measurements both work
- Testing that RC override works
Most of these tests are done with a simulated model
of a point object that moves on a straight line. So
nothing too spectacular. But it makes the test checks
much easier.
Since the estimator for the target actually checks new
measurements and compares them to old ones, I also added
random gausian noise to the measurements with a fixed seed
for deterministic randomness. So repeated runs produce
exactly the same results over and over.
Half of the angles are still missing in MAVSDK. Need to create
an upstream PR to add center left/right and rear left/right options.
These and the corresponding SITL tests need to be implemented
later.
sitl: Increase position tolerance during follow-me
Astro seems to barely exceed the current tolerance (4.3 !< 4.0)
causing CI to fail. The point of the CI test is not to check
the accuracy of the flight behaviour, but only the fact that the
drone is doing the expected thing. So the exact value of this
tolerance is not really important.
follow-me: gimbal control in follow-me
follow-me: create sub-routines in flight task class
follow-me: use ground-dist for emergency ascent
dist_bottom is only defined when a ground facing distance sensor exist.
It's therefore better to use dist_ground instead, which has the distance
to the home altitude if no distance sensor is available.
As a consequence it will only be possible to use follow-me in a valley
when the drone has a distance sensor.
follow-me: point gimbal to the ground in 2D mode
follow-me: another fuzzy msg handling for the estimator
follow-me: bugfix in acceleration saturation limit
follow-me: parameter for filter delay compensation
mantis: dont use flow for terrain estimation
follow-me: default responsiveness 0.5 -> 0.1
0.5 is way too jerky in real and simulated tests.
flight_task: clarify comments for bottom distance
follow-me: minor comment improvement
follow-me: [debug] log emergency_ascent
follow-me: [debug] log gimbal pitch
follow-me: [debug] status values for follow-me estimator
follow-me: setting for gimbal tracking mode
follow-me: release gimbal control at destruction

To return Exponential Values, which is helpful for reducing the
sensitivity of the stick around the centered value (0), since it's
exponential curve.
Useful for user adjustment implementations, where accidentally touching the stick
wouldn't have so much effect when using the Exponential value, compared
to using the raw position value.
Weather vane should only set a yawrate setpoint, but no yaw setpoint.
Setting it to NAN when WV is active makes sure that whatever _yaw_setpoint
is set previously (e.g. through Waypoint) is not used.

Otherwise the setpoint from weather vane is constantly overwritten by it,
even if the yaw stick is not moved.

This fixes the issue when changing the altitude during a goto for
example, where the vehicle was going backwards and upwards to reach the
closest point to the line. Now the vehicle simply goes towards the
target waypoint.
This is done by inheriting from FlightTaskManualAltitudeSmoothVel again.
The altitude change by command is taken care of by switching
to the apporach when the altitude difference is big enough and
switching back once the altitude is close enough.
The altitude of the command is not perfectly reached but this can
only be done smoothly when the Orbit has full control over the
altitude smoothing. The independent altitude smoothing is not kept
because it was lacking stick handling like altitude lock and smooth
transitions when opening and closing the vertical position loop.
