Paul Riseborough 7f5669fb2d EKF: consolidate covariance corrections
Combines the forced symmetry, variance limiting and zeroing of covariances for unwanted states in the one function.
This ensures a consistent correction is applied after every covariance prediction or correction.

Paul Riseborough f1b7e7714e EKF: Make average update rate of EKF closer to target
With the EKF, the average update rate is more important than the instantaneous value as it affects tuning. This patch ensures that the EKF prediction cycle will be performed early if the previous one was late in an attempt to maintain the target update rate.

Paul Riseborough bc34b14779 EKF: Initialise height state variance to a value compatible with the measurement
A large height state variance and small measurement variance can destabilise the filter in the first few seconds after alignment

Paul Riseborough 29a361d3a3 EKF: Use intuitive units for gyro and accel bias process noise
This also makes the tuning less sensitive to changes in the EKF update rate.

This limiting is a  last resort measure and the limiting for normal operation should be achieved by modification in the covariance prediction

Paul Riseborough f23f0b1035 EKF: fix bugs in stationary process model covariance prediction
Noise variance for stationary states was  being overwritten by the covariance prediction operations for the kinematic states
Unwanted states could end up with non-zero covariance values
The forced symmetry operation was being applied too late to be effective

Paul Riseborough 82da832816 EKF: tidy up Kalman gain calculations
Inhibiting of states is controlled via zeroing rows and columns in the covariance prediction so conditional logic in gain calculations is unnecessary.
