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.

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.

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.
