Description
With the ongoing work to improve obstacle avoidance using the Intel 435i, AP is receiving [OBSTACLE_DISTANCE](https://mavlink.io/en/messages/common.html#OBSTACLE_DISTANCE) messages. It would be great if we could display the output of these messages on the radar view. This would make both development and use of these sensors easier because the user could more easily see what output is coming from the sensor. For example it's helpful in determining if the sensor is aligned forward properly.
