Rover: GPS glitch can cause EKF failsafe #31402

Description

It seems that Rover will more easily enter an EKF failsafe compared with Copter. This can be easily reproduced in SITL by doing the following:

  1. start Rover using "Tools/autotest/sim_vehicle.py --map --console -f motorboat"
  2. create a small auto mission (e.g. a square)
  3. auto, arm throttle
  4. param set SIM_GPS1_GLTCH_X 0.0001

When the lane switch occurs (which also happens with Copter) the vehicle will immediately switch to Hold mode

This was found during testing of this EKF reset PR #31357

This issue is present in 4.6 and master/latest
