Allow setting global origin of MAVLink vehicles

Despite implemented, this feature is not working yet, as it needs support for the MAV_CMD_SET_GLOBAL_ORIGIN command on mavlink2rest. @patrickelectric is working on a new version with support for it.

I removed the await in the save button for the screen recording, but in reality it will be in a loading state for 5 seconds and then gently fail (because of the lack of support on m2r).

Fix #1102

If that's the case, I'm very confused how the DVL extension has supposedly supported it for years...

@Williangalvani is the DVL extension using mavlink2rest to send this message or it is directly injecting in the MAVLink stream?

@ES-Alexander according to William he just used the message and it works.

I took a look at the m2r enum repository and it indeed exists there, which means we just have to update this submodule in the repo. Will do that.

So the repository was already updated. My confusion happened because I was trying to use the new MAV_CMD_SET_GLOBAL_ORIGIN, that replaced the SET_GPS_GLOBAL_ORIGIN some months ago. Since it's a recent deprecation and we still don't have support for the new command in mavlink2rest, I think it's ok to proceed with this deprecated message for now.

@ArturoManzoli rebased to solve the conflicts with current master.

Would it make sense to try the new one, and fall back to the old one if it fails to send / be accepted?

Besides the 2 items below, everything is working fine

1- The append icons on the inputs are black. Can you set them white?
2- Trying it out with the vehicle offline, Cockpit outputed a snackbar with a generic typescript error. Shouldn't we treat that error to show something like Vehicle offline?

@ArturoManzoli everything fixed!

Github is degraded and not updating the PR though (there should be 4 commits)...
