bresch 904ed57aba HTE: decrease sensitivity with speed
VTOL planes are getting lift from the wing when flying in MC mode at
high speed. They (and some other drones) also get extra drag when
climbing and descending at high speed, corrupting the hover thrust
estimate.

To avoid this, two speed thresholds (vertical and horizontal) are defined
above which the sensitivity of the estimator is decreased by linearly
increasing the observation noise.
