Description

#### Issue details
_Please describe the problem, or desired feature_
Hi!
Previously stored .grid files does not open in latest updated version of MP:
![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/21144129/158607081-1f568aa8-c252-421a-91a0-7452b60883ac.png)

There is an issue with the xml definition, by which a new parameter is added:
< laps >200< /laps >

If this is not available in the previous files, it will not open. Previous versions will open if this is added.

The error report is shown below:

Thanks and best regards

Research direction

Reproduce the failure by opening a previously stored .grid file in the latest Mission Planner version, then inspect the XML-loading path implicated by the reported error. Compare files with and without the laps parameter; done means older .grid files open successfully without manual editing.
