- remove deprecated actuator_controls[INDEX_FLAPS/SPOILERS/AIRBRAKES]
- use new topic normalized_unsigned_setpoint.msg (with instances flaps_setpoint
and spoilers_setpoint) to pass into control allocation
- remove flaps/spoiler related fields from attitude_setpoint topic
- CA: add possibility to map flaps/spoilers to any control surface
- move flaps/spoiler pitch trimming to CA (previously called DTRIM_FLAPS/SPOILER)
- move manual flaps/spoiler handling from rate to attitude controller
FW Position controller: change how negative switch readings are intepreted
for flaps/spoilers (considered negative as 0).
VTOL: Rework spoiler publishing in hover
- pushlish spoiler_setpoint.msg in the VTOL module if in hover
- also set spoilers to land configuration if in Descend mode
Allocation: add slew rate limit of 0.5 to flaps/spoilers configuration change
Instead of doing the flaps/spoilers slew rate limiting in the FW Position Controller
(which then only is applied in Auto flight), do it consistently over all flight
modes, so also for manual modes.

- remove deprecated actuator_controls[INDEX_LANDING_GEAR]
- remove dead code in mc rate controller that used to prevent it from being retracted
on the ground (anyway had no effect as it only affected the actuator_control[LANDING_GEAR]
which wasn't sent to the control allocation)
- for VTOLs handle deployment/retraction of landing gear in AUTO as a MC (retract if
more than 2m above ground, deploy if WP is a landing WP), plus additionally when transition
flight task is called (ALTITUDE mode and higher)
- for FW in AUTO: add logic in FW Position Controller, depending on waypoint type mainly
- manual landing gear settings always come through (a manual command overrides a previous
auto command, and vice-versa)

Tiltrotor_extra_controls also contains collective thrust beside collective tilt, as passing a 3D
thrust setpoint vector beside the tilt is not feasible.

* Changed the method of checking and setting the server file lock on Posix to avoid conditions where the server can indicate that it is running but still hasn't finished it's initialization
- always publish esc_status
- when enabled via MODAL_IO_VLOG param, enable actuator debug output
- for modal_io commands, use ESC HW ID values instead of motor number for easier use
- publish esc_status message for command line commands
- Uncommented the code that fills in the cmdcount and power fields in the esc_status topic

- if timestamp (or timestamp_sample) unpopulated fill it with current hrt_absolute_time()
- if using provided timestamp don't allow it to exceed current hrt_absolute_time()
- Switching to the first order filter that was previously
only in FlightTaskManualAltitude.
- Moving the scaling of full stick deflection to
radians per second into the class.
* RTL: only do calculations in is-inactive if global position is recent
* RTL: refactor calcRtlTimeEstimate to only calc and not pub

When requesting a message from a stream that is not active we start the
stream with interval=0 and call the request method once. For all streams
this works fine except the gps_global_origin. For this one the request method
is actually overidden to throttle down the rate and not just send out the message.
This will cause this message to never being sent on request if the stream
is not active by default.
* Update README: Maintainers, Boards, Roadmap
- First step after the community coordination call from January 30th
* README: Fromat list & remove discontinued boards & add others
- Addressed comments
* README: Add Simulation, remove QGC
- Only leave the PX4 specific categories (QGC is not)
* Add Beniamino as ROS2 maintainer
* README: Add note that README is main source of truth for maintainers
- We need to have a source of truth, we can use Github README for that.
- vectornav library (libvnc) fixed for NuttX
- open serial port O_NONBLOCK (like __APPLE__)
- set serial port baud rate with cfsetspeed (like __APPLE__)
- vectornav backend thread increase stack and run at higher priority (SCHED_FIFO)
