This PR merges in the latest changes from the upstream repo.

I did this by rebasing our repo onto the latest changes of PX4-Autopilot, but it was a pretty painful merge

TODO before merging into master:

  • check that px4_sitl_rtps builds
  • check that it works in sim
  • check that it works on a quad flying indoors
  • check that it works on a quad flying outdoors
  • check that it works on a rover driving indoors
  • check that it works on a rover driving outdoors
  • check that the src/drivers/uavcan/sensors/gnss.{hpp/cpp} files were updated correctly. I had some merge conflicts there, and I'm not entirely sure I did those changes correctly @chenrc98

Uses COM_SPOOLUP_TIME to slowly ramp the throttle and allow the
tailrotor to compensate in a coordinated way based on the yaw
compesation from throttle, see CA_HELI_YAW_TH_S.

This coordinated spoolup is necessary to avoid unsafe yaw twitches
because of the heli rotating until the correct compensation kicks in
through the feedback controller.
For helicopters it's useful (e.g. during bringup) to be able to disable
the main rotor while the tail is still controlled to safely land.
When hitting zero thrust by stick there is 0 torque authority
without airmode. So 0% minimum manual thrust should never be the default
without airmode.
This feature allows user to use a Gripper type pacakge delivery
mechanism on a drone to trigger the delivery during a mission via the
mission item `DO_GRIPPER`.

This is a minimal change that is intended to have simplest pacakge
delivery feature on PX4, however the future scope would extend this
feature out of Navigator, and rather move towards a federated PX4
(flight-mode flexibility) architecture. But until then, this will serve
the purpose.

Update Tools/sitl_gazebo submodule to remove sdf file overwrite error

- There was an error happening due to .sdf file being overwritten, it
was caused by a wrongfully added. sdf file.
- This update pulls in the PR commit: Auterion/sitl_gazebo#147

Initial cut on supporing PAYLOAD_PLACE mission item

Tidy and comment on navigation.h to clarify mission item definition

- Convert vehicle command ack subscription data type to
SubscriptionData, to not care about having a dedicated struct for
copying the latest data
- Tidy and comment on navigation.h to clarify the definition of
mission_item_s, which is confusing as it is an intergration of MAVLink
Standard into PX4's internal Mission Item structure

Rename mission_block's mission item reached function & cleanup navigator

- Isolated Handle Vehicle Commands function inside the Navigator
- Rename mission_block's mission item reached function to 'reached or
completed', as the navigation command can also be an action (e.g.
DO_SET_SERVO, which doesn't make sense to refer to as 'reached' when we
have successfully done executed the command)

Include MAVLink PR commit to include payload_drop message

More changes to add payload_drop MAVLink message support

- Comitting for testing purposes

Add mission item payload_drop to vehicle command payload drop link

- Now with a mission item with the nav_cmd set to 'payload drop', the
appropriate 'payload drop' vehicle command will be issued

Make Payload drop executable via Mission Plan

Implement payload_drop module to simulate payload delivery

- Simple module that acknowledges the payload drop vehicle command after
certain time, to simulate a successful delivery

Additional changes - payload drop module not working yet

- Need to do more thread stuff to make it work :(

Fix Payload Drop enum mismatch in vehicle_command enums

- First functional Payload Drop Implementation MVP
- Simple Ack & resuming mission from Navigator tested successfully

Hold the position while executing payload drop mission item

- Still the position hold is not solid, maybe I am missing something in
the position setpoint part and all the internal implications of
Navigator :(

Add DO_WINCH command support

Some fixes after rebase on develop branch

- Some missed brackets
- Some comment edits, etc

Add DO_WINCH command support

- Still has a problem of flying away from the waypoint while the
DO_WINCH is being executed, probably position setpoint related stuff :(

Apply braking of the vehicle for DO_WINCH command

- Copies the behavior of NAV_CMD_DELAY, which executes a smooth, braking
behavior when executing the delay because of the braking condition in
`set_mission_items` function
- This will not apply to Fixed wings
- The payload deploy getting triggered may be too early, as right now as
soon as the vehicle approaches the waypoint within the acceptance
threshold, the payload gets deployed

Add DO_GRIPPER support

Implement Gripper actual Hardware triggering support

- Currently not working, possibly in the mixer there's a bug
- Implemented the publishing of actuator_controls_1 uORB topic
- Implemented the test command for the payload_drop module, to test the
grpiper functionality
- Edited px4board file to include the payload_drop module
- Added Holybro X500 V2 airframe file, to enable testing on X500 V2
- Created new Quad X Payload Delivery mixer, which maps the actuator
controls 1 topic's data into the MAIN pin 5 output

Make Payload Drop Gripper Work

- Initialization of the Gripper position to CLOSED on Constructor of the
payload_drop module
- Setting the OPEN and CLOSED value to the appropriate actuator controls
input

Set vehicle_command_ack message's timestamp correctly

- By not setting the timestamp, the ack commands were not correctly
graphed in PlotJuggler!

Rename payload drop module to payload deliverer

- I think it's a more complex name (harder to type), but more generic

Add Gripper class (WIP)

Add Gripper class functionalities

- Add gripper uORB message
- Add gripper state machine

Use Gripper class as main interface in payload_deliverer

- Utilizes Gripper class functions for doing Gripper functionality

Remove mixer based package delivery trigger logic

- Remove custom mixer files that mapped actuator controls to outputs
statically

Additional improvements of the payload_deliverer

Fix payload_deliverer module not starting

- _task_id wasn't geting set appropriately in task_spawn function, which
led to runtime failure

Add Gripper Function to mixer_module

- Still not showing up as function mapping in QGC, needs fix

Add parameters to control gripper behavior

- Now user can enable / disable gripper
- Also select which type of gripper to use

Applying review from nuno

Remove timeout fetching from mission item and use gripper's timeout

- Previously, it was planned to use a custom DO_GRIPPER and DO_WINCH
MAVLink message definitions with information on timeout, but since now
we are using original message definition, only relevant timeout
information is defined in the payload_deliverer class

- This change brings in the timeout parameter to the Navigator, which
then sets the timeout in the mission_block class level, which then
processes the timeout logic

Make payload deployment work for Allmend test :P

Support gripper open/close test commands in payload_deliverer

Move enum definition for GRIPPER_ACTION to vehicle_command.msg

Remove double call for ` ${R}etc/init.d/rc.vehicle_setup`

- Was introduced during the rebase
- Was causing module already running & uORB topic can't be advertised
errors

Fix format via `make format` command

Modify S500 airframe file to use for control allocation usage

- Added Control allocation related parameters as default to not have it
reset every time the airframe is selected

Implement mission specific payload deploy timeout and more changes

Switch payload_deliverer to run on work queue

Remove unnecessary files

- Airframe changes from enabling control allocation are removed

Address review comments

- Remove debug messages
- Remove unnecessary or verbose comments & code
- Properly call parameter_update() function

Switch payload_deliverer to scheduled interval work item & refactor

- Switch to Schedeuled on Interval Work Item, as previous vehicle
command subscription callback based behavior led to vehicle comamnd ack
not being sent accordingly (since the Run() wouldn't be called unless
there's a new vehicle command), leading to ack command not being sent
out
- Also, old vehicle commands were getting fetched due to the
subscription callback as well, which was removed with this patch
- Fix the wrong population of floating point param2 field of vehicle
command by int8_t type gripper action by creating dedicated function
- Refactor and add comments to increase readability

Add gripper::grabbing() method and handle this in parameter update

- Previously, the intermediate state 'grabbing' was not considered, and
when the parameter update was called after the first initialization of
the gripper, the grab() function was being called again, which would
produce unnecessary duplicate vehicle command.
- Also replaced direct .grab() access to sending vehicle comamnd, which
unifies the gripper actuation mechanism through vehicle commands.

Navigator: Change SubscriptionData to Subscription to reduce memory usage

- Also removed unused vehicle command ack sub

PayloadDeliverer: Remove unnecessary changes & Bring back vehicle_command sub cb
Fixes:
WARN  [load_mon] dataman low on stack! (276 bytes left)

Seen on px4_fmu-v5_protected target.
For targets that define the SPI buses via px4_spi_buses_all_hw, a call
to px4_set_spi_buses_from_hw_version() is needed. Otherwise a NULL
de-reference will occur when trying to access px4_spi_buses.

Fixes a system crash in px4_fmu-v5_protected:
up_assert: Assertion failed at file:armv7-m/arm_memfault.c line: 101 task: wq:lp_default
to avoid float rounding errors leading to tiny acceptance radii
getting considered
…r takeoff items

otherwise a previously adjusted or uninitialized radius from the last flight
can cause problems during the new takeoff
My assumption is that the bus are numbered < 127.
This saves about 100 bytes of flash.
As I understand it, only Rev 1 and Rev 2 were shipped by HB, and likely
to be used for the Mini and CM4.
As I understand it, only Rev 3 and Rev 4 were shipped by HB for Mini and
CM4, and are likely to be used for it.

It would be nice to have all combinations but it requires quite some
flash in the current implementation.
