Roman 5036967343 barometer does not special height sensor offset because a barometer
offset from the local origin is calculated if the primary source for
height is not baro

Roman c5d464b821 make range sensor height offset computation more robust
- when switching to range finder use the current terrain estimate as
height sensor offset, otherwise spikes in the range measurements could lead
to a wrong offset

Roman 182ea43445 fixed baro offset calculation
- do not subtract the height sensor offset variable when computing the
baro offset from the local origin. The baro height offset is calculated
when baro is not fused and so the height sensor offset used in that case
is associated to another sensor and has nothing to do with the baro.

Roman 3778f0921a ekf: enable range finder to be used for estimating height even if it's not
the primary height source

- moved height control into single function in order to decide which sensor
should be used for estimating height
- under certain conditions allow to use the range finder to estimate height
even if it's not the primary height source
- fixed a bug where the delta time for the baro offset calculation was always
zero
- use methods to set height control flags to reduce code duplication and
to prevent bugs

Paul Riseborough 394dd95cba EKF: Don't do magnetic field estimation without earth frame measurements
Use horizontal acceleration to check if yaw is observable independent of the magnetometer.
Use rotation about the vertical to check if mag raises are observable.
If neither yaw of mag biases are observable, save the magnetic field variances and switch to magnetic yaw fusion.
Use the last learned declination when using magnetic yaw fusion so that the yaw reference remains consistent.
When yaw or biases become observable, reinstate the saved variances and switch back to 3D mag fusion.

Paul Riseborough 2f2ac5be43 EKF: Improve protection against severe IMU accel errors
Use vertical velocity and position innovation failure to detect bad accelerometer data caused by clipping or aliasing which can cause large vertical acceleration errors and loss of height estimation. When bad accel data is detected:

1) Inhibit accelerometer bias learning
2) Force fusion of vertical velocity and height data
3) Increase accelerometer process noise

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.

Roman c5f750dcca ekf reset: more granular reset / timeout strategy for gps fusion
- if both gps position and velocity measurements are rejected for 7 seconds
do a reset
- if only gps position measurements are rejected then wait for 14 seconds
as we still have velocity measurements to constrain the drift in position
- introduced ecl internal parameter for the timeout
