When starting aiding using EV only and commencing GPS aiding later, this change means that the GPS origin is set to the local position 0,0 point rather than the current vehicle position. This avoids large changes in local position when GPs aiding starts.
Fuse external vision data using a relative position odometry method when GPS data is also being used and enable both GPOS and EV data to be fused on the same time step.
Moves calculation only required for mag heading fusion into the if (_control_status.flags.mag_hdg) branch
When using EV yaw, the observed yaw angle is calculated directly from the EV quaternions using derived expressions from references in code comments.
This enables the initial uncertainty to be set based on application and also ensures that the max allowed growth in wind state variance is consistent with the initial uncertainty specified.
- 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

- 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.

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

Add calculation of a vertical position derivative to the output predictor. This will have degraded tracking relative to the EKF states, but the velocity will be closer to the first derivative of the position and reduce the effect inertial prediction errors on control loops that are operating in a pure velocity feedback mode.
Move calculation of IMU offset angular rate correction out of velocity accessor and into output predictor.
Provide separate accessor for vertical position derivative.
