/*
*    This library is used for the Safe Return-to-Launch feature. The vehicle's
*    position (aka "bread crumbs") are stored into an array in memory at
*    regular intervals.  After a certain number of bread crumbs have been
*    stored and space within the array is low, clean-up algorithms are run to
*    reduce the total number of points.  When Safe-RTL is initiated by the
*    vehicle code, a more thorough cleanup runs and the resulting path is fed
*    into navigation controller to return the vehicle to home.
*
*    The cleanup consists of two parts, pruning and simplification:
*
*    1. Pruning calculates the closest distance between two line segments formed
*    by two pairs of sequential points, and then cuts out anything between two
*    points when their line segments get close. This algorithm will never
*    compare two consecutive line segments. Obviously the segments (p1,p2) and
*    (p2,p3) will get very close (they touch), but there would be nothing to
*    trim between them.
*
*    2. Simplification uses the Ramer-Douglas-Peucker algorithm. See Wikipedia
*    for a more complete description.
*
*    The simplification and pruning algorithms run in the background and do not
*    alter the path in memory.  Two definitions, SMARTRTL_SIMPLIFY_TIME_US and
*    SMARTRTL_PRUNING_LOOP_TIME_US are used to limit how long each algorithm will
*    be run before they save their state and return.
*
*    Both algorithms are "anytime algorithms" meaning they can be interrupted
*    before they complete which is helpful when memory is filling up and we just
*    need to quickly identify a handful of points which can be deleted.
*
*    Once the algorithms have completed the simplify.complete and
*    prune.complete flags are set to true.  The "thorough cleanup" procedure,
*    which is run as the vehicle initiates the SmartRTL flight mode, waits for
*    these flags to become true.  This can force the vehicle to pause for a few
*    seconds before initiating the return journey.
