AutotuneAttitudeControlStatus (UORB message)

Autotune attitude control status

This message is published by the fw_autotune_attitude_control and mc_autotune_attitude_control modules when the user engages autotune, and is subscribed to by the respective attitude controllers to command rate setpoints.

The rate_sp field is consumed by the controllers, while the remaining fields (model coefficients, gains, filters, and autotune state) are used for logging and debugging.
