This PR take up #12455 and #12626 (mission yawing timeout) and should improve the user experience/safety of VTOL forward transitions in mission mode. It only affects both VTOL_TAKEOFF and VTOL_TRANSITION commands.
Issues
Before a VTOL_TRANSITION to fixed-wing, the heading needs to be aligned to the next waypoint, otherwise it won't start transitioning. This is a problem when weather vane (WV) is active, as then the heading is always aligned against the wind. Currently the transition thus does not happen with cross/tail wind.
Mission yawing timeout in mission not working #12626 (mission yawing timeout)
Even with WV disabled, when flying with high cross/tail winds, the aerodynamic passive yaw stability always yaws the VTOL into the wind. If this effect is bigger than the maximum yaw control authority, then yaw setpoints can't be followed. This can then be a problem if a transition is not planned against the wind. In this case, if the vehicle can't reach the transition heading, the mission should be aborted and RTL. The time the vehicle has max time to reach transition heading is set with MIS_YAW_TMT (a negative value disables this timeout). Currently this timeout does not work, so keeps trying indefinitely to reach the heading.
The direction of the front transition at a VTOL_TAKEOFF waypoint (this waypoint is the one that per default gets selected for the first waypoint of a VTOL mission) is currently in an arbitrary direction with weather vane enabled (resp. the heading from takeoff is kept if weather vane is disabled).
