This reverts a previous change because we're not entirely sure about all
implications on various airframes. It makes sense to change this default
after the failsafe state machines have been consolidated and the various
failsafe behaviours are more predictable for all airframes (not just
multicopter).
- move most orb to uORB::Publication and uORB::Subscription
- update legacy message handling (warn to PX4_INFO, PX4_WARN, PX4_ERR)
- add perf counters
- sensors/mag support newer `uavcan::equipment::ahrs::MagneticFieldStrength2` message
- sensors/gps support `uavcan::equipment::gnss::Auxiliary` for hdop and vdop
- sensors delete obsolete ioctl and read methods
- use PublicationMulti for actuator_outputs and esc_reports (to coexist with other output modules)
- add GNSS parameter metadata (parameters_injected.xml)
I don't understand why we should wait to parse incoming MAVLink traffic
just because we don't have the source address initialized. We still
check the source address before doing a sendto.
This should fix serial MAVLink communication on FMU5x where both serial
and UDP is available. There the serial connection previously did not
work because nothing was connected over UDP.
I propose two changes to the battery failsafes:
1. Remove the return only mode because it means the drone is likely
to crash during RTL. I think this is not expected by users chosing
the option and therefore better not exposed as an option.
2. Make Return/Land the default battery failsafe because it is expected
that a drone does the right thing when battery is low.
Also, this changes the description of the Return/Land behaviour to make
the drop down menu less long and awkward in QGC.
On more complicated setups it's still possible to exceed 32 tasks. For example fmu-v5 with mavlink on every telem (+ USB), external spi usage (pmw3901), gimbal (vmount), multiple i2c sensors, and camera feedback is 35 tasks (with top running). This is a fairly extreme case, so I'm only going to increase CONFIG_MAX_TASKS on newer F7 boards.

36de2b3 2019-08-22 Paul Riseborough - EKF: Use matrix library for quaternion to rotation matrix conversion
1a4ab06 2019-10-22 bresch - rate controller: add override specifiers whenever needed
29f71ff 2019-10-21 bresch - ekf: Add override specifier for all functions that override virtual functions of the estimator interface class
50167bf 2019-10-16 bresch - estimator interface: add deprecated functions for backward compatibility
b38458c 2019-10-10 bresch - Terrain estimator: formatting and remove redundant comments
0aef0ed 2019-10-10 bresch - terrain_estimator: remove dead code. Since the terrain estimator is constantly reset on ground, it is not necessary anymore to fuse fake measurements on ground if the range measurements are bad.
370e04e 2019-10-03 bresch - terrain_est: Continuously reset terrain height on ground using known clearance. This is the best estimate as we should not rely on a distance sensor while on the ground. This also helps when the drone is carried over as it avoids starting with a crazy downward distance for optical flow scaling.
e09e3e1 2019-10-14 bresch - control: rename _range_aid_enabled to _is_range_aid_suitable rename rangeAidConditionsMet to checkRangeAidSuitability

4e946d5 2019-09-04 RomanBapst - implemented synthesized magnetometer Z measurement - calculate a theoretical value based on the knowledge of the direction and strength of the magnetic field vector and X/Y sensor measurements - needs knowledge about location on earth to work
