sensors having mixer_module creates a dependency on sensors for
the param MOT_SLEW_MAX. Things that do not uses sensors.
IE. PWM only device should not have to include them.
- 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
- this allows the default priority to be set differently for internal/external sensors
- accel and gyro initialize default priority like mag in preparation for fully supporting external sensors
- fixes#15652
- inconsistency checks now run continuously instead of only preflight
- keep inconsistencies for all sensors
- add per sensor data validator state as overall health flag
- this lowers the load immediately at boot while still allowing each VehicleIMU instance to properly measure the actual accel/gyro data rates
- for lockstep builds this is ignored and VehicleIMU initially runs with every new sensor_accel/sensor_gyro publication
- schedule on interval multiple of sensor_gyro publications without increasing the configured integration rate
- IMU_INTEG_RATE add enums to guide appropriate selection
- add average calculation bounds to prevent incorrect calculation and force monitoring again if there are consecutive gaps in data
- cleanup failover related messaging
- store previous failover count to prevent unecessary checks
- check for parameter update initially to minimize work after fetching
fresh sensor data
- remove all remaining IOCTLs for accel and gyro and handle all calibration entirely in sensors module with parameters
- sensor_accel and sensor_gyro are now always raw sensor data
- calibration procedures no longer need to first clear existing values before starting
- temperature calibration (TC) remove all scale (SCL) parameters
- gyro and baro scale are completely unused
- regular accel calibration scale can be used (CAL_ACC*_xSCALE) instead of TC scale
Greatly improves the noise on the d-term on a Kopis 2. Apparently the order
of filtering vs differentiating matters.
Also disables the DGYRO filter by default, as the D-term now already has
a default filter of 30Hz applied.
- IMU integration move from drivers (PX4Accelerometer/PX4Gyroscope) to sensors/vehicle_imu
- sensors: voted_sensors_update now consumes vehicle_imu
- delete sensor_accel_integrated, sensor_gyro_integrated
- merge sensor_accel_status/sensor_gyro_status into vehicle_imu_status
- sensors status output minor improvements (ordering, whitespace, show selected sensor device id and instance)
The timestamp actually used by ekf2 is the sensor_combined timestamp, so we should be setting it with the actual data sample timestamp, rather than the aggregated sensors topic publication metadata.
Later the sensor_combined message will be replaced with vehicle_imu that carries a separate publication timestamp and raw sample timestamp.
