216935c1f2 AP_NavEKF3: fixed loss of GPS fusion
we must not do a storedGPS.recall unless we will be using the data,
otherwise we will lose GPS samples and risk stopping GPS fusion

410b5825fb AP_NavEKF3: Enable use of EKF-GSF yaw estimate
AP_NavEKF3: Add emergency yaw reset using a Gussian Sum Filter estimate

AP_NavEKF3: Reduce default minimum GPS velocity noise for Copters

Enables fail-safe to be set with more sensitivity and improves tracking accuracy.
Origin values were set using typical GPS performance for receivers on sale 6 years ago. Receiver performance has improved since then.

AP_NavEKF3: Prevent constant mag anomaly yaw resets

Prevents constant magnetic anomaly induced resets that can be triggered when flying with vehicle generated magnetic interference.
Allows for two resets per takeoff. Allowance for two resets is required, becasue a large ground based magnetic yaw anomaly can cause a sufficiently large yaw innovation that two resets in close succession are required.

AP_NavEKF3: Add option to fly without magnetometer

AP_NavEKF3: Rework emergency yaw reset logic

Use a separate external accessor function to request the yaw reset.
Allow reset requests to remain active for a defined period of time.
Tidy up reset function to split out accuracy check.

AP_NavEKF3: Fix vulnerability to lane switch race condition

Prevents the situation where a lane switch results in a lane being selected that does not have the correct yaw. This can occur if the primary lane becomes unhealthy before the external failsafe monitor has time to react.

AP_NavEKF3: Fix EKF_MAG_CAL = 6 behaviours

Fix bug causing the yaw alignment to be performed at startup before the GSF had a valid estimate.
Fix bug causing emergency yaw message to be output for a normal reset.
Fix vulnerability to reported negative yaw variance.
Remove duplicate timer checks.

AP_NavEKF3: Update EK3_MAG_CAL documentation

AP_NavEKF3: Relax yaw gyro bias convergence check when not using mag

AP_NavEKF3: Reduce yaw drift in hover with no yaw sensor

Uses the GSF yaw estimate if available which is better than the EKF's own yaw when no yaw sensor is available.

54f8e1137e AP_NavEKF3: added EK3_MAG_EF_LIM parameter
Adapted from EKF2 implementation as of commits
3835d2613, e9ed3540f and df4fc0fff
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.

96c6544997 AP_NavEKF3: moved intermediate variables to common memory
this moves intermediate variables from being per-core to being common
between cores. This saves memory on systems with more than one core by
avoiding allocating this memory on every core.

This is an alternative to #11717 which moves memory onto the stack. It
doesn't save as much memory as #11717, but avoids creating large stack
frames

560f17a570 AP_NavEKF3: use union to alias array and struct access to states
This avoids creating two pointers of different types to the same memory.

Having two pointers to the same memory can lead to the compiler
optimising code such that a write to one pointer is rearranged to be
either before or after a read from the other pointer depending on
which is deemed faster - not a good outcome.

7659e9c31f AP_NavEKF3: Improve checking of time delay validity when setting buffers
This change means that provided the GPS_DELAY_MS parameters are set for each GPS receiver attached, the EKF will not have to wait for the configuration of each receiver to be determined before it can start.
This significantly reduces start-up times when the delay parameters are set.

9f97cbfc3b AP_NavEKF3: Revert auto-code to original form and remove micro optimisations
To eliminate the possibility of editing errors, revert the covariance prediction auto-code to the original auto-code without the replacement fo the /2 and /4 operations. The compiler optimisations are able to correctly handle the /2 and /4 operations.

Also use local variables for intermediate covariance calculations. The use of class variables for these small arrays was unnecessary.
