2fbd050418 AP_NavEKF2: Use blended accelerometer data

8526a8ba7e AP_NavEKF2: Level processor loading between frames
Don't fuse other measurements on the same frame that magnetometer measurements arrive if running at a high frame rate as there will be insufficient time to complete other operations.

a1d6c7ae1e AP_NavEKF2: Improve timing accuracy
This parameter is a compromise between numerical accuracy of the covariance prediction and sensor timing jitter
Further testing has shown that doing covariance prediction and sensor fusion every 10msec has no observable effect on fusion health and reduces timing hitter noise on magnetometer observations during high rate maneovures

e0ed2dab63 AP_NavEKF2: Adjust IMU FIFO buffer for different IMU data rates

baa8692960 AP_NavEKF2: Allow use of magnetometer learning during optical flow nav
Adds fusion of the declination when there are no earth relative measurements so that the declination angle and therefore the copters yaw angle have an absolute reference.
This enables the length (but not the declination) of the earth field North/East states to change along with the magnetometer offsets.

It will also pave the way to elimination of the AP_InertialNav library.

b603641d7c AP_Compass: AK8963: fix where to apply sensitivity adjustments
The function rotate_field() can change the values axes and the function
correct_field() applies offsets (which are already in milligauss). Thus any
sensitivity adjustment must be done for two reasons:

    (1) The offsets must be applied to the values already in milligauss;
    (2) The factory sensitivity adjustment values are per axis, if any rotation
        that switches axes is applied, that'll mess with the adjustment.

Experiments showed that before this patch the length of the mag field reported
quite different from the expected. After this patch, the same experiments
showed reasonable values.
