We need to differentiate between a level where the user should act and where we are about to fall out of the sky (emergency). This helps performing more suitable failsafe actions.
The commander used to consume the battery_status topic and write the
contents after some calculations into the system state. Instead, the
calculations now happen in library calls in systemlib/battery.
This moves the battery fields out of the vehicle_status message into the
battery_status topic.
This brought quite some changes in all modules that need battery
information. The current state is compiling but untested.
