When the yaw estimate is converging, the controller makes the drone yaw
in order to follow the current setpoint. This is unintuitive for the
pilot and it is preferable if the drone continues to fly towards the
same physical direction.
This estimate doesn't converge to the true yaw but can be used as a
more consistent but drifting heading source.
It can be used by a setpoint generator to adjust its heading setpoint
while the true yaw estimate is converging in order to keep a constant
course over ground.
If the measured voltage is more than 65v we need to split the voltage
over multiple cells in order to avoid overflowing the uint16. This is
according to the MAVLink spec.

The extension fields need to be 0 by default according to the MAVLink
spec. This is because extensions are 0 by default and need to be 0 when
unknown/unused for backwards compatibility.
The patch also simplifies the flow slightly in that it doesn't create a
temporary array but just fills in the cell voltages directly.

- Enable arbitrary euler angle for Mag rotation
- new CUSTOM rotation enum out of the normal enum range
- mag_rot: automatically change to custom if euler rot is set
- sensor_calibration: Magnetometer save custom rotation parameters
- mag_cal: cross mention rotation parameters
- This allows the user to see the RPY options when searching for the rotation parameter

During transition to FF, only allow update thrust axis up to 45° as with a high tilt angle
the effectiveness of the thrust axis in z is apporaching 0, and by that is increasing
the motor output to max.
Transition to HF: disable thrust axis tilting, and assume motors are vertical. This is to avoid
a thrust spike when the transition is initiated (as then the tilt is fully forward).

EffectivenessTiltrotor: link time when to tilt motors to MC position to COM_SPOOLUP_TIME
- remove VT_TILT_SPINUP and special spin up tilt handling form the VTOL module
- now handle the spoolup in the allocation, directly linked to COM_SPOOLUP_TIME
- leave tilts at disarmed value during spoolup

- when GNSS is used require low mag heading innovations during
horizontal acceleration (yaw observable) to validate the mag
- only fuse mag heading just enough to constrain the yaw estimate
variance to a sane value. Leave enough uncertainty to allow for a
correction when the yaw is observable through GNSS fusion
In the mavlink_receiver code, after a while it will try to resend some
parameter update through the MAVLink instance. But for Iridium links
those are not a good idea. So this adds a condition that prevent the
sending if the MAVLink instance is in Iridium mode.

* Navigator: DO_CHANGE_SPEED: only store sinlge cruising_speed_current_mode
This stored cruising speed setpoint is reset on mode change and
after a VTOL transition.
* Navigator Mission: replay DO_CHANGE_SPEED items when resuming mission
* Navigator: remove cruising_speed_sp_update()
Speed changes in a mission are handled directly in the position controllers,
and no longer in Navigator.

Increased size for ORB_ID from uint8_t to uint16_t
Created a type: orb_id_size_t = uint16_t.
There are still a couple of places where the size
of the ORB_ID is assumed to be less than 16-bits.
The places that I have found are commented regarding
this and can be found with a search on orb_id_size_t.
- split mag_3d into new standalone mag fusion and mag fusion allowed to update all states (full mag_3d)
- new dedicated control logic for mag/mag_3d fusion and standalone mag heading fusion
- if WMM available use for mag_I and mag_B init
- mag states reset if external yaw reset (yaw estimator, GPS yaw, etc)
- mag reset if declination changed (eliminate _mag_yaw_reset_req)
- mag fusion (but not mag_hdg or mag_3d) can be active during gps_yaw or ev_yaw (if yaw aligned north)

- simplify vehicle_status.arming_state down to just armed and disarmed
- ARMING_STATE_INIT doesn't matter
- ARMING_STATE_STANDBY is effectively pre_flight_checks_pass
- ARMING_STATE_STANDBY_ERROR not needed
- ARMING_STATE_SHUTDOWN effectively not used (all the poweroff/shutdown calls loop forever in place)
- ARMING_STATE_IN_AIR_RESTORE doesn't exist anymore
- collapse ArmStateMachine into commander
- all requests already go through Commander::arm() and Commander::dismarm()
- other minor changes
- VEHICLE_CMD_DO_FLIGHTTERMINATION undocumented (unused?) test command (param1 > 1.5f) removed
- switching to NAVIGATION_STATE_TERMINATION triggers parachute command centrally (only if armed)

Some system are able to dead-reckon for a while after losing GPS or
other sources providing positional feedback. If the estimated position
error grows above the failsafe threshold, the system enters a failsafe
mode. As the position error estimate is growing linerly over time, and
it is recommended to take action before entering the failsafe, we here
warn the user about the imminent failsafe and propose to take manual
control.
