priseborough 36e7dfb5f6 AP_NavEKF2: Improve GPS reference height estimator
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.
