This failsafe flag is currently used for not allowing to re-transition to FW, as well
as disabling pusher assist in hover. Till now it was only possible to reset it with
a commanded transition to MC, which many ground station interfaces didn't allow
as the system, after a quad-chute, already was in MC mode.
Hereby it is changed to reset when a new transition to FW is triggered (either via
RC switch or MAVLink command). It is the users responsibility to assess the situation
after a quad-chute happened to try to transition to FW again, manually proceed/land
the vehicle in MC, or let it finish the defined behavior after a quad-chute.

This is to prevent that that data from non-recent publications of the virtual
attitude setpoints are used in the transition code.
It removes the previous implementation where the update_transition_state()
method was only run when both mc and fw virtual att sp where recent, independetly
of whether both are used or not.

This sets the throttle of the Multicopter actuators to the throttle stick position
while in Stabilized, Acro or Manual mode.

- main motors are the ones which are meant to be used as propulsion in fw mode
- alternate motors are the ones usually meant to be switched off in fw mode

- remove gloabl variable and instead give back forward_thrust from function
- give back increased vertical thrust from fct thrust_compensation_for_tilt()

-move pusher assist functionality into vtol_type class and adapt it to also
work for tiltrotor VTOLs (pitch rotors down to accelerate forward)
-for tiltrotor: compensate for lost lift due to tilt by increasing the throttle
-enable pusher / tiltassist also in altitude mode

* FW attitude controller, FW position controller and VTOL attitude controller subscribe to airspeed_validated topic
* add possibility to switch off the airspeed valid checks
* remove airspeed valid checks from commander
* clean up of VTOL transition logic
* Airspeed Selector: remove dynamic allocation of airspeed validators (depending on number of connected sensors) but do it statically for the maximum number allowed. Check for number of connected sensors not only during start up, but always when vehicle is disarmed.
* Airspeed Selector: change work queue from lp to att_pos_ctrl as this module is safety-critical
* add airspeed selector to px4_fmu-v2 defaults
This changes the enums used for various VTOL states to enum classes
which makes them type-safe and should avoid shadowing.
This change was motivated by a Clang warning about shadowing of the
enum const TRANSITION_TO_FW which was declared twice, once in
vtol_type.h and once in standard.h.
This change only removes the shadowing but presumably these enums could
be cleaned up and consolidated further.
* attitude and rate setpoint message: use 3D array for thrust demand
* FixedWingAttitudeControl: rework airspeed scaling
* move airspeed and scaling calculation into separate method
* if vtol in hover and airspeed disabled use minimum airspeed instead of trim airspeed
