Notify users of the potential for velocity noise when using larger offset values..
Specific advice in terms of values has not been provided because it is highly dependent on Gyro noise levels.
This can improve position hold performance where it is not practical to have the IMU located at the centroid.
Although this enables the effect of IMU position offsets to be corrected, users will still need to be instructed to place the IMU as close to the vehicle c.g. as practical as correcting for large offsets makes the velocity estimates noisy.
Correction requires the body rates averaged across the flow sensor sampling interval. This data has been added to the sensor buffer.
The body rate data from the flow sensor driver does not contain the Z component, so an equivalent value sampled from the navigation IMU has been used instead.
The variable omegaAcrossFlowTime has been moved out of the class and into the only function that uses it.
This patch replaces the 'old style' ringbuffer by the ByteBuffer class.
An effort was made to keep the exchange as close as possible from a
drop-in replacement to minimize the risk of introducing bugs.
Although the exchange opens opportunities for improvement and
simplification of this class.
When the buffer wraps and we do it in 2 steps, we can't actually do the
second part if it fails or if we wrote less bytes than we intended,
otherwise we will corrupt the data being sent.
We can't give the TX buffer 16 bytes more since next time begin() is
called it will compare the buffer size to the value the caller is trying
to set. In this case we would free and alloc the buffer again each time
begin was called.

While at it, just like in the write case, explain why we are stopping.
