M4 meta-issue

[caguero]

• Hydrodynamics/physics improvements:
  • Add crossterms support. Pull request osrf/lrauv_private#35
  • Fix hydrodynamics issues. See Hydrodynamics Issues #7 , Using the VBS to sink causes the vehicle to translate forwards and go into a spin. #47
• Tethys model improvements:
  • Automate model stability. See Auto generated model. #89
  • Updated inertias, split vehicle sections, new frame of reference. Pull request osrf/lrauv_private#37
• Acoustic comms integration:
  • Provide a step-by-step tutorial for Mike Godin to help with the MBARI integration. #43
• Science sensor loading (Tasks 2, 3, 4: Science data loading infrastructure. #22) and interpolating data
  • Search for input points for interpolation Nearest neighbor search for 8 points on 2 z planes as inputs for interpolation #83
  • Interpolate data
• M4 test plan #42 Mission validation using logging, plots, comparison with MBARI sim, and/or using Ben's feedback.
  • Acoustic comms integration acceptance test
  • Science sensors integration acceptance test
