AP_Baro: improved barometer averaging

this changes the barometer calculations to floating point. On a MS5611
this is actually about twice as fast as the previous 64 bit
calculations, but gains us more accuracy as we are able to take
advantage of sub-bit precision when we average over 8 samples.

read() : Read sensor data and _calculate Temperature, Pressure and Altitude
read() : Read sensor data and _calculate Temperature, Pressure
This function is optimized so the main host don´t need to wait
You can call this function in your main loop
Maximum data output frequency 100Hz - this allows maximum oversampling in the chip ADC
