- split out switches from manual_control_setpoint into new message manual_control_switches
- manual_control_switches published at minimal rate (~ 1 Hz) or immediately on change
- simple switch debounce in rc_update (2 consecutive identical decodes required)
- manual_control_switches logged at full rate rather than sampled at (5-10% of messages logged)
- manual_control_setpoint publish at minimal rate unless changing
- commander handle landing gear switch for manual modes
- processing of mode_slot and mode_switch is now split so we only do one or the other (not both)
- a future step will be to finally drop mode_switch and accompanying switches entirely

- Note the TX buffer size check is lazily ignoring the possibility of messages that span multiple Mavlink STATUSTEXT. This at least accommodates the calibration use case and it's no worse than before for longer messages.
- ekf2 can now run in multi-instance mode (currently up to 9 instances)
- in multi mode all estimates are published to alternate topics (eg estimator_attitude instead of vehicle_attitude)
- new ekf2 selector runs in multi-instance mode to monitor and compare all instances, selecting a primary (eg N x estimator_attitude => vehicle_attitude)
- sensors module accel & gyro inconsistency checks are now relative to the mean of all instances, rather than the current primary (when active ekf2 selector is responsible for choosing primary accel & gyro)
- existing consumers of estimator_status must check estimator_selector_status to select current primary instance status
- ekf2 single instance mode is still fully supported and the default

- mavlink messages DEBUG/DEBUG_FLOAT_ARRAY/DEBUG_VECT/NAMED_VALUE_FLOAT move to separate stream headers and don't include if CONSTRAINED_FLASH
- mavlink receiver DEBUG/DEBUG_FLOAT_ARRAY/DEBUG_VECT/NAMED_VALUE_FLOAT handling excluded if CONSTRAINED_FLASH
- msg: skip debug_array.msg, debug_key_value.msg, debug_value.msg, debug_vect.msg if CONSTRAINED_FLASH
- new sensors work item that subscribes to N x sensor_gps and publishes vehicle_gps_position
- blending is now configurable with SENS_GPS_MASK and SENS_GPS_TAU

This will make all distance_sensor messages be published to
mavlink. Previously, if you ran multiple distance_sensor publishers,
typically multiple distance sensors, then you'd only get one of them
on mavlink.
The modifications to MavlinkStreamDistanceSensor are based on
MavlinkStreamBatteryStatus, which already exists with multi-instance
subscription and streaming to mavlink.

- added support for BQ40Z80 based battery
- added performance counter for interface errors
- added SMART_BATTERY_INFO mavlink message
- general code cleanups and optimization
- fixed: void flooding the log in case of interface error
- fixed: using _batt_startup_capacity instead of _batt_capacity for discharged_mah
- update: read manufacture_date
- update: get _cell_count from parameter and not const 4
- update: avoid re-reading data that has already been read and stored on class already
- currently the battery type defined by BAT_SMBUS_MODEL parameter and not by auto detection
