Add SetFieldUnit() and SetCoordinateFrame() methods to MagnetometerSensor so the system plugin can specify which unit and coordinate frame the published field vector uses. The sensor now populates the new unit and frame fields in every published Magnetometer message. Defaults to Gauss/ENU. Signed-off-by: Benjamin Perseghetti <bperseghetti@rudislabs.com>
