in the same way that we allow a link to re-start an upload by sending mission_count, allow a GCS to clear a mission and cancel current upload if it was the one doing the transfer
for reasons I can't fathom, defaulting the rangefinder state causes problems with the vehicle orientation in SITL - probably a state update fix somewhere.
This test was kind of broken anyway - the RangeFinder was pointing latterally out from the vehicle, but is displayed forward of the vehicle (ther RANGEFINDER mavlink message conveys no orientation information)

Also corrects the mission item types being returned by the mission-item-to-misison-item-int converter

these tests weren't being run becausethey were disabled based on support for loading fence items from QGC files.

Autotests for takeoffs have been added for Plane, covering AUTO and
TAKEOFF mode takeoffs.
An auxiliary `set_servo` method has been added to `vehicle_test_suite.py`.
