AP_GPS: log altitude above ellipsoid instead of undulation
ArduPilot's internal definition of undulation is reversed in sign
compared to the accepted convention and this creates confusion:
ArduPilot#29199 .
Instead of the internal definition, log the altitude above ellipsoid,
which ArduPilot already consistently and correctly calculates and
broadcasts over e.g. DroneCAN and MAVLink. Switching the quantity logged
allows users to accommodate the problem in old logs (i.e. always flip
GPA.Und sign to match the accepted convention) and reduces opportunity
for future confusion.
Future work will clean up or replace the internal representation, but
this should be a complete fix for the issue from a user perspective.
