Paul Riseborough d94068b88a EKF: Simplify calculation of height above terrain observation variance
The tilt compensation being applied previously was based on a flat earth geometric model assuming perfect tilt knowledge which reduces the effect of range errors on height error as the vehicle tilts. however in the real world, variations in terrain gradient and uncertainty in vehicle tilt and sensor alignment tend to increase height error with tilt, so the adjustment of observation variance with tilt has been removed given we do not have a valid mathematical model on which to base it.

Paul Riseborough 460c9e5250 EKF: Don't try to fuse air data if not in normal aiding mode
Taking off before passing GPS checks would cause airspeed or sideslip to be fused when the filter was still using a constant position assumption. This would cause large airspeed innovations, invalid wind estimates and degrade filter performance after GPS was gained and position and velocity was reset.

Paul Riseborough f76a2a5ff7 EKF: fix bug in sideslip fusion and reduce RAM usage
The bug meant the  Y velocity (state index 5)  covariance was not being updated correctly when sideslip was being used to constrain velocity drift (extended GPS loss).
The rework of the covariance update to reduce RAM follows the same pattern as adopted for other fusion processes

Paul Riseborough 951c8b77af EKF: Improve wind state reset logic
Enables wind estimation without an airspeed sensor and enables synthetic sideslip to be used with an airspeed sensor for improved wind state estimation.
Wind states and covariances are reset differently depending on whether airspeed is available.
