Multi-EKF support (ekf2)
- 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

# Fused global position in WGS84.
# This struct contains global position estimation. It is not the raw GPS
# measurement (@see vehicle_gps_position). This topic is usually published by the position
# estimator, which will take more sources of information into account than just GPS,
# e.g. control inputs of the vehicle in a Kalman-filter implementation.
