This feature periodically spins the unused motors on VTOL airframes, to
break off ice that has built up in the motor while it is still feasible
to do so. Each ice shedding event sends a motor ouput of 0.01 to the
unused motors for 2 seconds.
Configured by `CA_ICE_PERIOD`, the duration of the entire cycle. Set to
0 to disable.

fix: ControlAllocator float and int comparison bug
There was an incorrect comparison between a float variable `dt` and a `uint64_t` value representing 5 milliseconds (`5_ms`). As a result, `do_update` could never become true even if the last torque setpoint was received more than 5 milliseconds before.
To solve this, the `5_ms` value has been converted to seconds (0.005f) for the comparison with `dt`.
- 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.

It's enough that the setpoints and the unallocated values are logged, from these
the allocated values can be calculated if required.

- limit to handling only 1 motor failure
- Log which motor failures are handled
- Remove motor from effectiveness matrix without
recomputing the scale / normalization
Weak authority on a axis is currently defined as: none of the actuators have an
effectivness on this particular axis larger than 0.05.

-pass flag EffectivenessUpdateReason into effectiveness, indicating if there was an external
update or not. Reasons for external updates are:
-config changes (parameter)
-motor failure detected or certain redundant motors are switched off to save energy

The forced flag is used to distinguish between updates due to a configuration
(parameter) change (only enabled when disarmed), and matrix updates due to motor
tilt change. Only update the normalization scale if the forced flag is true, and
use a tilt angle of vertical position for it to have the scales tilt-invariant.

- allow effectiveness matrix to select control allocator method
(desaturation algorithm)
- add actuator_servos publication
- add support for multiple matrices (for vtol)
- add updateSetpoint callback method to actuator effectiveness to allow it
to manipulate the actuator setpoint after allocation
- handle motor stopping & reversal
- add control surfaces & tilt servos
- handle standard vtol + tiltrotor
- rename MC rotors params & class to be more generically usable
- fixes and enables ActuatorEffectivenessRotorsTest
