Exposes the energy_consumed field from BATTERY_STATUS MAVLink message as a new float field in Watt-hours. Sentinel value -1 maps to NaN. Companion PR: mavlink/MAVSDK#2882
Exposes the energy_consumed field from BATTERY_STATUS MAVLink message. Converts from hectojoules (hJ) to Watt-hours (Wh) by dividing by 36 (1 hJ = 100 J, 1 Wh = 3600 J). Reports NaN when autopilot signals the field is unavailable (sentinel value -1). Fixes mavlink#1748

The proto definition (
telemetry.proto) has a companion PR in MAVSDK-Proto addingfloat energy_consumed_wh = 9to theBatterymessage. The.pb.h/.pb.ccgenerated files need to be regenerated once that proto PR merges (requires protoc 29.1).
