Roman Bapst df0f8fed45 fixed wrong condition on which gps height would be fused (#180) 
- this solves the issue where height innovations would jump
between two regimes

Beat Küng 73b8ac954d ekf_helper.cpp: remove unused includes 
This fixes a compile error with GCC 5.2.0 and cross-compilation:
/usr/arm-none-eabi/include/c++/5.2.0/arm-none-eabi/armv7e-m/fpu/bits/error_constants.h:122:27: error: 'ENOTSUP' was not declared in this scope
       not_supported =     ENOTSUP,

The problem was that the #include <iomanip> was taken from the host system,
which conflicts with includes from NuttX (NuttX has only basic C++ STL
support)

Lucas De Marchi 2240eb6b4f Move __STDC_FORMAT_MACROS to build system (#174) 
__STDC_FORMAT_MACROS changes the behavior of inttypes.h to allow
defining format macros for printf-like functions. It needs to be defined
before any include is done, otherwise due to include chains and header
guards it may not take effect.

Instead of defining it everywhere it is used, let the PX4 build system
to deal with it.

Paul Riseborough a2d866520a EKF: perform innovation check in all axes before fusing 3D mag data (#171) 
Perform the innovation consistency check on all axes first and exit if any axis fails. Reduces the likelihood of bad magnetometer data corrupting the attitude estimates.

Paul Riseborough 90d65071c1 EKF: Add output predictor processing option

Paul Riseborough c7e225124c EKF: Improve output observer position and velocity tracking 
Replace the delayed time feedback mechanism used by the translational states with a direct feedback method.
Time constants for velocity and position convergence can be separately adjusted with tunable parameters
The method is more computationally more expensive because it requires modification of the output buffer history but is acceptable because it only requires 6 FLOP per buffer index for a total of 30*6 = 180 FLOP
The method was not applied to the attitude states because the quaternion operations required at each buffer index would have been computationally prohibitive.
