Description

#### Issue details
When planning missions DO_LAND_START commands in mission are not shown on map but they are really used as rally points. We need to see that points for better planning and decision making during the flight.

It's confusing enough when planning a mission that DO_LAND_START command have coordinates and altitude but UAV will not follow it, and that coordinates are used only for making decision to which DO_LAND_START command from multiple possible to jump when RTL engaged. Using DO_LAND_START and RTL along with AFS and FS features gives operator a very powerful tools for programming contigencies and emergencies mitigation. But we have to see that points on map. Best way is to show it as rally point.

Research direction

Start by tracing Mission Planner's mission-map rendering and its handling of DO_LAND_START commands; the issue names no file or test entry point. Done means DO_LAND_START coordinates appear on the map as rally points for mission planning, including missions with multiple such commands.
