4d4e66d825 AP_NavEKF2: removed create() method for objects
See discussion here:

  https://github.com/ArduPilot/ardupilot/issues/7331

we were getting some uninitialised variables. While it only showed up in
AP_SbusOut, it means we can't be sure it won't happen on other objects,
so safest to remove the approach

Thanks to assistance from Lucas, Peter and Francisco

This can improve position hold performance where it is not practical to have the IMU located at the centroid.
Although this enables the effect of IMU position offsets to be corrected, users will still need to be instructed to place the IMU as close to the vehicle c.g. as practical as correcting for large offsets makes the velocity estimates noisy.

Correction requires the body rates averaged across the flow sensor sampling interval. This data has been added to the sensor buffer.

The variable omegaAcrossFlowTime has been moved out of the class and into the only function that uses it.

5d09c78f34 AP_NavEKF2: Always perform optical flow takeoff check when receiving data
A specialised takeoff check is now always performed when we receive new flow data as the default behaviour is to try and use flow data whenever it is received, rather than limit its use to a use to a flow-only mode of operation that had to be selected via user parameter.

e6f36f04db AP_NavEKF2: Enable automatic use of range finder height
The EK2_RNG_USE_HGT parameter sets the height (expressed as a percentage of the maximum range of the range finder as set by the RNGFND_MAX_CM parameter) below which the range finder will be used as the primary height source when the vehicle is moving slowly.

When using a height reference other than GPS, the height datum can drift due to air pressure changes if using baro, or due to terrain height changes if using range finder as the primary height source. To ensure that a consistent height datum is available when switching between altitude sources, the WGS-84 height estimate of the EKF's local positi norigin is updated using a
single state Bayes estimator,

If rngfinder or gps height data is lost whilst being used, there will be a fall-back to baro data.

e34cdc6666 AP_NavEKF2: Fix bug preventing planes recovering from bad magnetometers
This bug created a race condition whereby if the EKF had to reset the yaw to the GPS ground course to recover from a bad magnetometer, the new heading could be over-written by the bad magnetic heading when the plane reached the height for the scheduled reset.

e2b8807260 AP_NavEKF2: Fix bug causing switching in and out of aiding
If the GPS receiver was disconnected and no data received, then then the gpsGoodToAlign check did not get a chance to run and becasue it was previously true the EKF would switch back into aiding.
This prevents this by ensuring that gpsGoodToAlign defaults to false when the check is not being performed.
An additional check has also been dded to ensure that there is GPS data to fuse before we declare ready to use GPS.

Switching in and out of aiding modes was being performed in more than one place and was using two variables.

This consolidates the logic and ensures that PV_AidingMode is only changed by the setAidingMode function.
