Flight: Create PositionDesired (the active waypoint) UAVObject and make the FlightSituationActual no update since it not used.
Flight: New velocity desired object that passes information between the look computing the desired velocity and the PID loop to get it (updated at different rates)
UAVObjects/PositionActual: Remove unused GPS fields
UAVObjects/PositionActual VelocityActual: Split the velocity into a separate object. ALso make sure all the information telemetered around is in cm to avoid using floats.
UAVObject/GuidanceSettings: New guidance settings object for the guidance module
Flight/Posix: Add the new objects to the Posix sim
Flight/Guidance: Computes a desired velocity based on position error than runs a PID loop to control roll and pitch to achieve that velocity. All distances are in cm, and updated the PositionActual fields to reflect this and use int32.

Calibration should take less time now too (using second moments to estimate
variance in one pass). Now need to change to multiple messages to get the
calibration in to keep the request message size minimal. Also currently
running sensor calibrate doesn't store the gyro bias so if you want to use this
you'll have to tweak it manually. I'll fix that step tomorrow.

Change from using vTaskDelay to using vTaskDelayUntil to
ensure that we're trying to stay periodic rather than
just waiting a fixed amount of time after each loop of
processing.

GPS module now updates GPSPosition UAVObject
rather than the PositionActual object. The
GPSPosition object is intended to be consumed
only by the AHRS. The AHRS will use this (and
other inputs) to compute a filtered version of
the position in the PositionActual object.
This commit will cause temporary breakage of the
GPS functionality in the GCS until the PositionActual
object is properly updated by the AHRS. Most of the
GCS should continue to use PositionActual. The only
exception to this might be any tool for specifically
visualizing the raw GPS state.
GPS.c is now only responsible for receiving a
complete NMEA sentence from the COM interface.
NMEA parsing is now factored out into NMEA.[ch]
which is where GPSPosition is now updated based
on the complete NMEA sentences obtained from the
GPS.
Latitude and Longitude are now encoded in a
fixed-point notation in units of degrees x 10^-7
to prevent truncation of precision due to encoding
into a float.

No functional changes. Whitespace/tab fixups only.
Use TRUE/FALSE instead of 1/0.

This is to align the object names to matches the UAVObject
architecture doc. No functional changes.

into NED reference frame and used in the INSGPS algorithm, although currently this
information isn't propagated back to OP. Data structures related to the GPS position
into the algorithm and the position estimate out will likely be in flux.

Altitude/pressure sensor data is sent to the AHRS whenever
the AltitudeActual object is updated.
Altitude, Pressure and Temperature are sent as floats.
Same as in the UAVObject that goes to the GCS.

The AHRS comms module now sync's with the AHRS and
exchanges interesting data periodically. Whenever
the link to the AHRS is down, the AHRSComms alarm is
raised.
This is fairly basic for now but provides the last
piece of the infrastructure to move data back/forth
between the OP and the AHRS.

The Attitude module will soon be handling updates for all UAVObjects
that require data from the AHRS. To reflect this expansion of scope,
it has been renamed to AHRSComms.
