Added Loiter Turns - It orbits the Current location

Added WP to Loiter_time so you can spec a specific location in the planner
added new Navigation alg. Should perform better (doesn't rely on 45° flow fields like last one)
Added "Jump" counter so missions don't get overwritten in flight.
removed I term by default for Rate pitch and roll
