Replaces #7945

During back transition in a cross wind the vehicle can drift sideways preventing the current velocity check from triggering.

This only checks forward velocity (body frame) and trigger if it falls below MPC cruise speed.

Looks right. Might want to revisit this later to think about cross wind transitions and crabbing.

As there is no position control and no thrust i don't think a quadplane crabs during back transition.
Also considering reverse thrust i'm not sure it's desired to factor this in if it would.
