AP_NavEKF2: Eliminate simple compass fusion singularities near +-90 deg pitch

The use of yaw angle fusion during startup and ground operation causes problems with tail-sitter vehicle types.
Instead of observing an Euler yaw angle, we now observe the yaw angle obtained by projecting the measured magnetic field onto the the horizontal plain.
This avoids the singularities associated with the observation of Euler yaw angle.
