🎉 New feature

Summary

This adds an airflow sensor. These sensors are generally used to measure wind and are ultrasonic devices, measuring the airflow speed and direction using the Doppler effect.

Depends on:

  • https://github.com/gazebosim/sdformat/pull/1349
  • https://github.com/gazebosim/gz-msgs/pull/411

Here is some use cases of such sensors from a manufacturer sensor which we have used. https://fttechnologies.com/case-studies.

This is part of a larger plan to support an airflow sensor in PX4. @dagar

The code is heavily based on the Airspeed Sensor
