LIDAR only autonomous flight

Our code stack also supports LIDAR-only sensing mode (i.e. no camera is needed).

This feature is still under development. It works but is not as robust / well tuned.

The LIDAR will be used for both odometry and mapping (obstacle avoidance). We have done some initial tests for autonomous flight with LLOL: Low-Latency Odometry for Spinning Lidars. Currently, we're using the feature/lidar-odom branch for developing this feature:
