EKF: Always reset covariance matrix terms when doing vel pos state reset
...
If state errors were large before the reset, then failure to reset the covariance matrix terms can result in incorrect fusion of position and velocity measurements after the reset due to inconsistencies in the covariance matrix.

EKF: don't reset quaternion states unnecessarily
...
When performing the initial in-flight mag yaw reset for RW vehicle, do not reset the quaternion states and corresponding variances unless there has been a change in yaw angle large enough to cause problems with navigation.
This is because the state estimates after a reset are more vulnerable to transient sensor errors, so a reset should be avoided if possible.

EKF: don't reset quaternions unnecessarily
...
When performing the initial in-flight magnetic field reset for fixed wing vehicles, resetting the quaternion states and their corresponding covariances should be avoided unless yaw errors are large, because state estimates are vulnerable to transient sensor errors immediately following a reset.

EKF: Fix yaw reset for fixed wing
...
Ensures that a complete reset of velocity and position states will always be performed if yaw has had to be reset using GPS velocity.
Ensures that the yaw_align status cannot be set to false once the filter has aligned.

Reduces susceptibility to incorrect estimation of acceleration bias during sustained yaw rate.
Requires an increase in RAM allocation of 837 Bytes to allow for the longer IMU and output predictor buffers that can be created.
