Running the sensors module out of the same WQ thread as the estimator, position, and attitude controllers is a bit safer and prevents potential priority and starvation issues. There is a very small increase in latency (~50 us) between sensors and ekf2 execution (on average). This also saves a little bit of memory (~ 3 kB) and cpu (~1-1.5% depending on the board).

7aba744 2020-02-26 TSC21 - gazebo_mavlink_interface: use class enum; use binary notation with the bitmask operations
0dc43a4 2020-02-26 TSC21 - gazebo_mavlink_interface: make sure to always send gyro and accel data in the HIL_SENSOR msgs
0c954a2 2020-02-25 TSC21 - mavlink_interface: split groundtruth stream from sensor stream; only apply rotations where needed

* Add Drotek RM3100 mag to board_sensors
* update to single wire
* Fix inverted FMU outputs from 451af07472
* digital power module update for e9890d01d9
* board doesn't have battery monitoring through ADC or GPIO, rather through I2C only
This avoids the need for recalibration, and also cleans up other driver
ID's (merge separate accel/gyro).
The SPI address was previously set to a board-specific (arbitrary) value,
and is now set to 0. This will allow extending for multiple sensors of the
same type on the same bus.
Chip-select and SPI initialization uses the new config, whereas the drivers
still use the existing defines.
The configuration in board_config.h can be removed after all drivers are
updated.
