This PR changes the behavior of the high level commander when receiving low level set points, for instance from an external script.
The new functionality is to stop the high level commander instead of disabling it. The difference is that when the high level commander is stopped, it will still send null set points to the system, while it is quiet when disabled.
This makes a difference if a user sends in some low level set points for a while, and then whants to go back to the high level commander by using the meta message to relax the set point priority. In the current implementation, the user must first re-start the high level commander and then relax the priority. With this PR, the high level commander will still run and produce null set points which means that the user can go back to the previous state by only relaxing priority.
