Paul Riseborough 20923da23a AP_NavEKF2: Allow tuning of non-GPS mode
Eliminate the use of horizontal position states during non-aiding operation to make it easier to tune.
Explicitly set the horizontal position associated Kalman gains to zero and the coresponding covariance entries to zero after avery fusion operation.
Make the horizontal velocity observation noise used during non-aiding operation adjustable.
Use a fixed value of velocity noise during initial alignment so that the flight peformance can be tuned without affecting the initial alignment.
