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)

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

Remove unnecessary header
Switch parameters to default initialization
Change pointer casting to prevent a const_cast, and remove doubled sync byte when echoing ASCII messages
Fix Valgrind report by preventing use of nmea_printf on buffers which may not be null-terminated
In AHRS Mode, split the single message to an IMU packet and an AHRS packet; in EKF Mode, split the two messages into an IMU message, an EKF packet, and a GNSS packet.
Simplify message header definition to consolidate and eliminate the need for static asserts
Update healthy logic and use to represent new packet structure
Replace EAH3 message with messages per-packet
Add Ypr as configured output in the EKF message
This is a rework so that servos.cpp is responsible for setting the
throttle limits under more circumstances and always notifies TECS when
it does so.
Additionally, the TAKEOFF mode has been improved with a new parameters
TKOFF_MODE and TKOFF_THR_MIN that extend the throttle behaviour.
These concern the TAKEOFF flight stage and address #27147.
* Logging metadata fixes
* Disabled continuous TECS reset during takeoff
* Fixed bug in reached_speed_takeoff calculation
* Limited SPDWEIGHT=2 to only first part of takeoff climb
* _post_TO_hgt_offset set to constant
* Takeoff I-gain now defaults to 0 and is used
* Use at least TRIM_THROTTLE during the climb
* Updated description of TECS_TKOFF_IGAIN with new behaviour
* Forced max throttle while below TKOFF_LVL_ALT
* Added throttle constraints in no-airspeed mode
Additionally, set_min_throttle() has been created, that allows one to
set the minimum TECS throttle for the next update_pitch_throttle() loop.
Additionally, the throttle limits system has been reworked. TECS will
receive external throttle limits from Plane and will always take them
into account and respect them.
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`.
