Andrew Tridgell e9ed3540f1 AP_NavEKF2: constrain field by table after fusion
this should make for faster convergence

Andrew Tridgell 3835d2613e AP_NavEKF2: added EK2_MAG_EF_LIM parameter
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.

reincluding the same emacs header in every file of the project.

priseborough e34cdc6666 AP_NavEKF2: Fix bug preventing planes recovering from bad magnetometers
This bug created a race condition whereby if the EKF had to reset the yaw to the GPS ground course to recover from a bad magnetometer, the new heading could be over-written by the bad magnetic heading when the plane reached the height for the scheduled reset.

priseborough 10470b2dc1 AP_NavEKF2: fix bug in initialisation of declination co-variances
Co-variances were being re-zeroed after being set. This meant that the initial declination learning was sensitive to measurement errors which could result in poor initial yaw accuracy.

priseborough 6b04a81b8d AP_NavEKF2: Fix plane in-flight yaw reset bug
Fixes bugs that prevented planes being able to reset yaw to GPS to recovery from takeoff with a bad magnetoemter.

1) If the velocity innovation check had not failed by the time the in-air transition occurred, then the yaw reset would not be performed
2) The velocity states were not being reset
3) The non fly-forward vehicle (copter) reset could occur first and effectively lock out the fly-forward vehicle (plane) yaw check.

priseborough 51dbed2338 AP_NavEKF2: remember mag field states between flight on same power cycle
Remember the mag bias and earth field states learned during flight when the vehicle  lands.
This improves performance for vehicles that do multiple flight on one power cycle

priseborough 191c34612d AP_NavEKF2: Fix bug in use of corrected IMU data
IMU data was being corrected before being used by the co-variance prediction, whereas the delta angles and velocities in the derivation were supposed to be uncorrected.
This patch creates separate variable for the corrected data

Paul Riseborough dc6836988c AP_NavEKF2: Improve ground based magnetic anomaly protection for copter
The toilet bowling check during early flight has been removed. This check caused problems where bad compass calibration was the cause of the toilet bowling and resetting to the compass was a bad option. The handling of simultaneous failed mag and velocity innovations is already handled outside the EKF by the failsafe.
A check for yaw errors due to a ground based magnetic anomaly has been introduced.
The logic for in-flight yaw and magnetic field resets has been cleaned up and variable names improved.

Paul Riseborough 24d8cc62e2 AP_NavEKF2: rework yaw and magnetic heading reset logic
Splits in-flight yaw alignment completed status into separate yaw and magnetic field flags.
Reduce the number of places where decisions to perform a yaw and field reset are made.
Don't perform a reset unless there is is data in the buffer
Don't use 3-axis fusion if the field states still need to be reset.
When starting 3-axis fusion request a reset if not previously performed.
Ensure magnetometer and GPs heading resets are alwasy perfomred with data at teh correct time horizon.

Paul Riseborough 11c6ea7ef6 AP_NavEKF2: attitude co-variance reset for all post alignment yaw resets
Whenever the yaw angle is changed, the correlation with other state errors will be incorrect and the terms should be zeroed.

Paul Riseborough e3c966661b AP_NavEKF2: Remove unnecessary variance reset

dgrat 41661f815f AP_Math: Replace the pythagorous* functions with a variadic template
The new function can deal with a variable number of function parameters.
Additionally, I renamed the functions to norm(), because this is the
standard name used in several other projects.

Paul Riseborough 1ecc206eee AP_NavEKF2: Allow use in planes without a magnetometer
Implements the following techniques to enable planes to operate without magnetometers.

1) When on ground with mag use inhibited, a synthetic heading equal to current heading is fused to prevent uncontrolled covariance growth.
2) When transitioning to in-flight, the delta between inertial and GPS velocity vector is used to align the yaw.
3) The yaw gyro bias state variance is reset following an in-flight heading reset to enable the yaw gyro bias to be learned faster.

Paul Riseborough 7d6b926749 AP_NavEKF2: Improved magnetic heading fusion
Use an Euler yaw heading that switches between a 321 and 312 rotation
sequence to avoid areas of singularity.  Using Euler yaw decouples the
observation from the roll and pitch states and prevents magnetic
disturbances from affecting roll and pitch via the magnetometer fusion
process.
