Fixed typos in comments, removed some new lines, corrected headers. Modified a few mavlink warning messages, but I understand that's a matter of taste.

In the future I would like to be more precise when we pint messages about sub-systems or safeguards and distinguish "enabled/disabled", "active/inactive" and "on/off". Enabled/Disabled sounds to me like a configuration, not a temporary state. "Failsafe mode disabled" sounds to me like it has been permanently disabled by parameter. The message suggests that a setting was modified.

It's the same thing with driving assistance functions in cars: ABS, ESC and Traction Control can be enabled without being active. But when enabled and if necessary, these systems will become active on their own.

If the community agrees with this view-point, I can go through other mavlink messages and modify some more.

I agree with that view-point, although the longer term dream is still handling this type of feedback completely differently.

Thanks for merging.

"Differently" as in defining all messages outside of these classes in some centralized file?
