The deleted code always causes extremely occasional packet loss. Details are as follows.
User A add a new mavlink message, but user B din't add the message. This common situation will lead to extremely occasional packet loss in user B. When user B receive the undefined message, mavlink_parse_char() will enter MAVLINK_FRAMING_BAD_CRC status, and check the undefined message last char. If the last char happens to be MAVLINK_STX value, then the subsequent valid packets will parse wrong and lost.
