- landing slope/curve library removed
- flare curve removed (the position setpoints will not be tracked during a flare, and were being ignored by open-loop maneuvers anyway)
- flare curve replaced by simply commanding a constant glide slope to the ground from the approach entrance, and commanding a sink rate once below flaring alt
- flare is now time-to-touchdown -based to account for differing descent rates (e.g. due to wind)
- flare pitch limits and height rate commands are ramped in from the previous iteration's values at flare onset to avoid jumpy commands
- TECS controls all aspects of the auto landing airspeed and altitude/height rate, and is only constrained by pitch and throttle limits (lessening unintuitive open loop manuever overrides)
- throttle is killed on flare
- flare is the singular point of no return during landing
- lateral manual nudging of the touchdown point is configurable via parameter, allowing the operator to nudge (via remote) either the touchdown point itself (adjusting approach vector) or shifting the entire approach path to the left or right. this helps when GCS map or GNSS uncertainties set the aircraft on a slightly offset approach"
- all sources of optical flow publish sensor_optical_flow
- sensor_optical_flow is aggregated by the sensors module, aligned with integrated gyro, and published as vehicle_optical_flow

- remove separate flaperon controls input to mixer instead enable spoiler support
- add slew rate limiting on both flap and spoiler controls
- add spoiler configuration for Landing and Descend
- add trimming from spoiler deflection
- FW Attitude control: remove FW_FLAPS_SCL param -->
The flap settings for takeoff and landing are now specified relative to full range.

- set MAV_TYPE as a parameter default per vehicle type, or airframe if necessary
- cleanup MAV_TYPE param metadata and commander helper to only include
what's currently used in PX4
- 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
This fixes a case where the px4 startup is not stopped when the
px4 process is killled using -SIGKILL against the px4 deamon.
In that case, the currently executing command/client is killed
and properly shutting down with result -1, however, the next command
is started anyway.
This means that the next time we try to run the simulation we get a
"PX4 daemon already running for instance 0" error and PX4 doesn't start
properly.
By adding exit on error, we properly exit in the case where the startup
script gets stopped/killed.
Remove params from airframe configs that are just set again
to the param default value or to the value that is
specified in the mc_default, fw_default or vtol_default.

Using mixers on the IO side had a remote benefit of being able to
override all control surfaces with a radio remote on a fixed wing.
This ended up not being used that much and since the original design
10 years ago (2011) we have been able to convince ourselves that the
overall system stability is at a level where this marginal benefit,
which is not present on multicopters, is not worth the hazzle.
