 * Enable/disable usage of fixed-wing actuators in hover to generate forward force (instead of pitching down).

 * This technique can be used to avoid the plane having to pitch down in order to move forward.
 * This prevents large, negative lift values being created when facing strong winds.
 * Fixed-wing forward actuators refers to puller/pusher (standard VTOL), or forward-tilt (tiltrotor VTOL).
 * Only active if demaded down pitch is above VT_DWN_PITCH_MAX, and uses VT_FWD_THRUST_SC to get from
 * demanded down pitch to fixed-wing actuation.
 *
 * @value 0 Disable FW forward actuation in hover.
 * @value 1 Enable FW forward actuation in hover in altitude, position and auto modes (except LANDING).
 * @value 2 Enable FW forward actuation in hover in altitude, position and auto modes if above MPC_LAND_ALT1.
 * @value 3 Enable FW forward actuation in hover in altitude, position and auto modes if above MPC_LAND_ALT2.
 * @value 4 Enable FW forward actuation in hover in altitude, position and auto modes.
 * @value 5 Enable FW forward actuation in hover in altitude, position and auto modes if above MPC_LAND_ALT1 (except LANDING).
 * @value 6 Enable FW forward actuation in hover in altitude, position and auto modes if above MPC_LAND_ALT2 (except LANDING).
