- a growing number of samples come into the backend with the time
already delayed (sensor's interrupt setting timestamp sample)
- if the incoming timestamp is already delayed then the new data checks
(relative to latest IMU) can be slightly wrong
- handle almost all timestamps and checks on delayed time horizon,
except for explicit checks of new samples
- isRecent() and isTimedOut() helpers use delayed time
- add new isNewestSampleRecent() used for checking the incoming
timestamp of the incoming (adjusted) data
Instead of having a single height source fused into the EKF and the
other ones "waiting" for a failure or the primary sensor, fuse all
sources in EKF2 at the same time. To prevent the sources from fighting against each
other, the "primary" source is set as reference and the other ones are
running a bias estimator in order to make all the secondary height
sources converge to the primary one.
If the reference isn't available, another one is automatically selected
from a priority list. This secondary reference keeps its current bias
estimate but stops updating it in order to be the new reference as close
as possible to the primary one.
