CollisionPrevention add more distance_sensor orientations

[dagar]

Expand distance_sensor to include orientations every 45 degrees yaw.

The naming is starting to get a bit messy. Suggestions?
One option would be to only have the minimum set as enums in distance_sensor and instead handle these as custom with enums at the param metadata level.

This certainly makes setting up an 8-sensor system easier.

Is there a hypothetical sensor we could connect 8 of to a single flight controller, that has roughly 45 degree FOV?

IMHO this will only make sense if we make the drivers capable of connecting multiple sensors of the same type in the same bus - #12864. Otherwise, it's just adding unusable code.

@jkflying , you can do this with an mb12xx or a mappydot+ right now.
Edit: you could use 12.

Something from https://www.terabee.com/sensors-modules/ perhaps.

I'm working on it. Baby steps.
