This is the 4.6.0-beta4 release for Copter, Rover, Tracker and Plane.

The full list of PRs can be seen in the "4.6.0-beta4" column of this project.

There was just one PR that I was unable to backport due to a merge conflict but if we're keen to get this into 4.6 maybe @bugobliterator could produce a backport PR?

Any and all feedback on the release note wording or anything else is greatly appreciated!

I've created a backport PR for the ibus naming fix (#29294) and removed the conflicting backport

I've created a backport PR for the CaddX support and added it to the project, removing the old PR which was against master.

I've rebased and updated this PR after these backport were created and merged thanks to the kind help of @bugobliterator, @tpwrules and @peterbarker.

If I could just get one more approval, perhaps from @peterbarker then I'll merge and we can do the beta release

AP_ADSB: uAvionix Transponder Status V3

+ Current version of ping200X sends the v1 status message periodically and the v3 status message in response to the transponder control message, so ardupilot needs to handle both gracefully; version 1 and version 3 are very different in structure and naively assuming one version over another will cause errors.

AP_ADSB: Process additional xpdr status v3 fields

AP_ADSB: Send GCS xpdr status at least every 10s

AP_ADSB: Send ping200X estimated HPL

+ When AP sends the ping200X the GPS data GDL90 message, it needs to provide a valid HPL for the ping200X to report a valid NIC.

AP_ADSB: Don't send unsolicited transponder status

AP_ADSB: Better initialization of xpdr id/config

AP_ADSB: Better initialization of frontend status

AP_ADSB: Suggestions from review
allows for servo drivers to be written in lua
add UART6 and VBUS to BETAFPV F405
add alt config to BETAFPV-F405 to support RELAY2 instead of UART6_TX as per betaflight
enable SBUS input on BETAFPV-F405 on UART5_RX
enable IMU temperature calibration for BETAFPV-F405
correct current scale on BETAFPV-F405.
BETAFPV-F405 SPL06 Baro
correct baro SPI read rate on BETAFPV-F405
use SPL06 with background updates on BETAFPV-F405

this might have worked if parity1 and parity2 were static values - but theyr're not.  I'm guessing the code evolved
while Copter is the only user at the moment, will be useful on Rover shortly

The command should also take negative values

Redo scaling to comply with mavlink documentation.
don't cache connection result and return appropriate error if connection fails.
don't wait 1s to send first serial passthrough message
retry failed cmd_DeviceInitFlash as per betaflight
ensure the bootinfo structure is large enough
only configure DMA on groups that are actually being used for soft serial
