Adapted from EKF2 implementation as of commits
3835d2613, e9ed3540f and df4fc0fff
this sets a limit on the difference between the earth field from the
WMM tables and the learned earth field inside the EKF. Setting it to
zero disables the feature. A positive value sets the limit in mGauss.
this moves intermediate variables from being per-core to being common
between cores. This saves memory on systems with more than one core by
avoiding allocating this memory on every core.
This is an alternative to #11717 which moves memory onto the stack. It
doesn't save as much memory as #11717, but avoids creating large stack
frames
this prevents the EKF origin on different cores from being initialised
to different values. A common value is stored in the frontend and used
by a core if it doesn't have an origin

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
Fix rounding error bug preventing state from updating after initial convergence.
Decouple GPS reference height from published EKf origin height.
Add bitmask parameter to control update and publishing of GPS reference height.
this changes the stragegy for load levelling between EKF cores so it
works between EK2 and EK3, and with future estimators as well.
It allows us to run EK3 and EK2 at the same time with good scheduling
performance
Use the time delay returned by the GPS driver.
Wait long enough for the GPS configuration to be determined, but time out after 30 seconds and warn the user that a default value for time delay will be used.
Adapt the lengths of the IMU and observations buffers on startup to the specified time delays and update rates.
This does require the EKF to be re-started if time delays are changed.
