PrecLandStatus (UORB message)

Precision-landing runtime status: a single state captures both whether precision landing is active and which phase it is in.

Published by: navigator (precland.cpp). Subscribed by: vision_target_estimator, flight_mode_manager (FlightTaskAuto).

STOPPED is published when the precision-landing task is not active (just inactivated, or never started). The phase values (START..FALLBACK) are only published while the task is running and not yet finished. DONE is published once on successful completion, then STOPPED on the subsequent inactivation.
