048767e389 GCS_MAVLink: camera feedback mavlink messages 
CAMERA_EVENT and CAMERA_FEEDBACK messages, and a couple of enums they
use (CAMERA_EVENT_TYPES and CAMERA_FEEDBACK_FLAGS)

Adjusted some types and added more explicit descriptions of units as
suggested on the call last week.

I will add camera parameter list/get/set functionality as suggested
using the existing parameter mechanism and component IDs rather than
the new CAMERA_INFO messages I had proposed.

a2f54fdf2c AC_WPNav: smooth waypoint by freezing feed-forward and allowing overshoot 
First part of this fix is freezing the position controller's xy-axis
feed foward as we transition to the new segment.
Second part is work-around for straight line segments in that we allow
the target point to actually overshoot the end of the segment by up to
2m if the segment is a "fast waypoint".  Ideally we would instead notice
the waypoint has been completed and take any left over time or distance
and move our target along the track towards the next waypoint but that
would require a much larger change to allow the wpnav lib to hold the
next two waypoints.

ce85d1f6b2 AC_WPNav: use curr pos target as spline origin

1bdde31f6b Copter: Fix zero throttle flip issue Stabilize 
The problem is that the init_targets is intended to ensure the
controller doesn't build up the I term when the throttle is low. Because
it is poorly named (or used) it have been written to do something else.
Here I change it to do what the code is trying to use it to do.

aed5787c1b AC_WPNav: bug fix for loiter init in Hybrid 
AC_PosControl::init_xy_controller() has been added to PosControl and is
called by init_loiter_target.
Hybrid is currently using set_loiter_target function to init the loiter
controller. So we have to call init_xy_controller() by set_loiter_target
function.
What happens otherwise?
In AC_PosControl::update_xy_controller, we update "now" with
now = hal.scheduler->millis();
and, as _last_update_xy_ms has not been updated previously by
init_xy_controller(), we just call init_xy_controller().
So, _dt_xy  will be negative and used anyways in all the functions and
PID called by update_xy_controller.
That will avoid at least _accel_target.x/y to be set to 0 but I'm not
sure for the high values, probably an I_term that is not reset and
reached very high value.
Or maybe a cast error somewhere... no clue at all

925c5751bd AP_NavEKF: Add ability to inhibit in-flight mag cal and clean up moding 
This will enable in-flight magnetometer calibration to be inhibited unconditionally,
This is required for long balloon carriage flights where ground speed can be high
enough to put it into in-air state, but with very poor observability of magnetic field
states causing bad state estimates and heading offsets to develop over time.

The covariance matrix no longer has rows and columns artificially zeroed when in static
mode. Instead booleans indicating whether wind or magentic field state estimation is
active are used to:

a) Set the process noise on these states to zero to stop their variances from increasing
unchecked when not being updated, and
b) Turn off updates for these states when measurement fusion is being performed.

This reduces the likelihood of a badly conditioned covariance matrix forming
during static mode operation.

A filter divergence check has also been added that will declare the filter unhealthy if
position, velocity and magnetic field observations are all failing their innovation
consistency checks. This unhealthy status will persist for 10 seconds after the
condition clears.

d745dc2b6f AP_NavEKF : Increased position gate default to reduce impact of accel errors 
Flight testing with windup turns has shown that the position gate threshold
can be tripped with good GPS data causing position jerks. This increases the
initial GPS glitch rejection threshold to effectively 5m when using the
default POSNE_NOISE value of 0.5m.

188bea6bab AP_NavEKF : Enable calc of wind velocity when not using airspeed sensing 
This patch also cleans up the logic associated with use of the synthetic
sideslip measurement so that it can never be used for a non fly-forward
vehicle type

This patch adds functionality that initialises the wind-speed vector to the
reciprocal of the ground speed vector, and scaled to 6 m/s. On average this gives
a better initial wind velocity estimate on launch by assuming:

a) launch will be into wind
b) wind speed is equal to global average

It also helps prevent a headwind causing initial underestimation of airspeed
causing high autopilot gains and limit cycles on climb-out, until first
turn when the EKF is able to estimate the wind.

04036d7777 AP_NavEKF : Updated GPS glitch protection logic 
This adds new functionality to the detection and compensation of GPS
glitches:

1) A maximum allowable innovation is calculated using the GPS noise
parameter multiplied by the gate, with an additional component allowing
for growth in position uncertainty due to acceleration error since
the last valid measurement
2) Includes per vehicle type values for the acceleration error limit
3) If the innovation length exceeds the maximum allowable, no fusion occurs
4) If no fusion has occurred for long enough such that the position uncertainty
exceeds the maximum set by a per vehicle parameter or a maximum time, an offset
is applied to the GPS data to so that it matches the value predicted by the filter
5) The offset is never allowed to be bigger than 100m
6) The offset is decayed to zero at a rate of 1.0 m/s to allow GPS jumps to
be accommodated gradually
7) The default velocity innovation gate has been tightened up for copter and rover
8) The variance data logging output has been updated to make it more useful
