- saves a small amount of work for the ekf2 selector in multi-EKF mode (visual_odometry_aligned now ignored)
- helps to distinguish the origin/purpose from vehicle_odometry and vehicle_visual_odometry
- ekf2 can now run in multi-instance mode (currently up to 9 instances)
- in multi mode all estimates are published to alternate topics (eg estimator_attitude instead of vehicle_attitude)
- new ekf2 selector runs in multi-instance mode to monitor and compare all instances, selecting a primary (eg N x estimator_attitude => vehicle_attitude)
- sensors module accel & gyro inconsistency checks are now relative to the mean of all instances, rather than the current primary (when active ekf2 selector is responsible for choosing primary accel & gyro)
- existing consumers of estimator_status must check estimator_selector_status to select current primary instance status
- ekf2 single instance mode is still fully supported and the default

- add new parameter `IMU_GYRO_FFT_EN` to start
- add 75% overlap in buffer to increase FFT update rate
- space out FFT calls (no more than 1 per cycle)
- increase `IMU_GYRO_FFT_MIN` default
- decrease main stack usage
- mavlink messages DEBUG/DEBUG_FLOAT_ARRAY/DEBUG_VECT/NAMED_VALUE_FLOAT move to separate stream headers and don't include if CONSTRAINED_FLASH
- mavlink receiver DEBUG/DEBUG_FLOAT_ARRAY/DEBUG_VECT/NAMED_VALUE_FLOAT handling excluded if CONSTRAINED_FLASH
- msg: skip debug_array.msg, debug_key_value.msg, debug_value.msg, debug_vect.msg if CONSTRAINED_FLASH
- drivers/tone_alarm: move to ModuleBase and purge CDev (/dev/tone_alarm0)
- drivers/tone_alarm: only run on tune_control publication (or scheduled note) rather than continuously
- drivers/tone_alarm: use HRT to schedule tone stop (prevents potential disruption)
- msg/tune_control: add tune_id numbering
- systemcmds/tune_control: add "error" special case tune_id
- move all tune_control publication to new uORB::PublicationQueued<>
- start tone_alarm immediately after board defaults are loaded to fix potential startup issues
- for SITL (or other boards with no TONE output) print common messages (startup, error, etc)
- new sensors work item that subscribes to N x sensor_gps and publishes vehicle_gps_position
- blending is now configurable with SENS_GPS_MASK and SENS_GPS_TAU

- vehicle_imu/vehicle_magnetometer add monotonically increasing `calibration_count` field so that downstream subscribers are aware of calibration changes
- inconsistency checks now run continuously instead of only preflight
- keep inconsistencies for all sensors
- add per sensor data validator state as overall health flag
- use proper Mavlink MAV_CMD_FIXED_MAG_CAL_YAW command for initiating magnetometer quick cal
- MAV_CMD_FIXED_MAG_CAL_YAW allows specifying the yaw and optionally latitude and longitude if the vehicle doesn't have GPS
