/*
 *   The AP_Mission library:
 *   - responsible for managing a list of commands made up of "nav", "do" and "conditional" commands
 *   - reads and writes the mission commands to storage.
 *   - provides easy access to current, previous and upcoming waypoints
 *   - calls main program's command execution and verify functions.
 *   - accounts for the DO_JUMP command
