f2c506339a AP_NavEKF: Reduce time required to recover from GPS timeouts
The time required for GPS to be lost or rejected before vehicles with airspeed sensors either reset to GPS or invoke the zero side-slip assumption to constrain drift has been reduced from 15 to 10 seconds
A duplicate zeroing of the GPS position offset has been removed
If the vehicle is a non hovering vehicle (eg a plane) then the speed at which the GPS offset is pulled back to zero after a reset is increased from 1 to 3  m/s

This also improves recovery from bad inertial data for planes

f6ce25df2a AP_NavEKF: Do not reset vertical velocity state from GPS
Doing this can cause large height and height rate errors if large GPS velocity errors cause the GPS tn be rejected for long enough to cause a timeout and reset of states.

e2d47f836e AP_TECS: Fix bug causing plane to fly high on landing approach
The introduction of the height rate flare logic caused the demanded height rate to be zero except when a flare manouevre was being performed. This caused the plane to lag behind height changes if the D gain was non-zero, which caused it to fly high during landing approach.
