* Removed unused computation of CoG
In the lift drag plugin there were a few lines of code used to compute the center of gravity of the respective link. Since the variables themselfes are unused I propose to remove them.

* Revert "Removed unused computation of CoG"

This reverts commit 97378945e26c16ce3341090c4b453731b2aeadd9.

Reverted changes to undo the formatting.

This fixes the issue of tailsitter not taking off on gazebo9

* Update iris_hitl.sdf

The Old SDF file didn't show correctly in gazebo and the rotor blades were self collapsing and it was not working. Regenerating the SDF again from the jinja template and making the necessary HITL specific changes in the mavlink plugin, it all worked well and showed correctly in Gazebo.

* Update iris_hitl.sdf

* Add sensor interface

Abstracts sensor interface for the mavlink class
Add sensor msg mutex

* Enable multiple instances of HIL messages

This commit enables having multiple instances of HILdata instances in order to support multi-sensor setups for sensors that are included in the HIL_SENSOR mavlink message

* Register new HIL sensor instance if id has never been seen

This commit enables registering new sensor istances if the ids have never been seen before. This enables using non-sequential instance IDs

* Convert airspeed plugin into a sensor plugin

This commit sets the airspeed plugin into a sensor plugin. This allows the gazebo_mavlink_interface to automatically subscribes to the sensor topics

* pass ros distro in CMakeList instead of checking it in jinja_gen.py

* generate ROS model with option GENERATE_ROS_MODELS. change option BUILD_ROS_INTERFACE to BUILD_ROS_PLUGINS

* argument build_ros_interface change to generate_ros_models, remove ros_distro and just check ros_version

* gst camera: add RTMP streaming and nvidia encoding

* disable GPU encoding by default

* completed nvh264enc installation instructions

This reverts commit 38224fb0

This PR adds a package dropping model standard_vtol_drop and the drop_plugin so that a drone delivery scenario can be simulated

Update container and mavsdk versions

* add jinja template for depth_camera in ros/ros2 environment

* modify parameters and frame name for ros2

* gazebo_gimbal_controller: add Mavlink interface

This is work in progress to add control the gimbal as a gimbal device
using the mavlink gimbal v2 protocol.

* gazebo_gimbal_controller: work on vehicle yaw

We now get the vehicle yaw from the mavlink message. This means we are
independent of the PX4 orientation and can also test the gimbal device
on its own using the gimbal_device_tester from the MAVSDK examples.

A nicer solution in the future might be to have a very simple state
estimator implemented in the controller which then uses the
autopilot_state_to_gimbal_device message for corrections.

This commit also implements yaw follow and lock mode.

* gazebo_gimbal_controller: send correct limits

* typhoon_h480: adapt gimbal limits

* gazebo_gimbal_controller: implement angle and rate

This should implement attitude control with gimbal angles,
angular rates, or both together.

* gazebo_gimbal_controller: switch UDP port

This is to connect to PX4.

* gazebo_gimbal_controller: fix follow mode angle

* gimbal_controller_plugin: fix limits

This was required after the mavlink headers were updated.

* geotagged_images: handle start/stop streaming cmds

This prevents unnecessary retransmissions on the QGC side.

* gimbal_controller_plugin: ignore unknown msgs

Let's not send unnecesssary acks. This otherwise triggers warnings such
as this in QGC:
VehicleLog: _handleCommandAck: mavlink component is ack'ing with
    different comp id:  154 instead of  100  for command 512

* gimbal_controller: add support for neutral mode

* models: remove inf from sdf as it's not valid

* Retune gimbal controller

The brew cli has changed.

This commit uses a include syntax in sdf, instead of the cascaded model structure
