this fixes an issue with resetting of parameters when going between
4.4.x and 4.5.x on MatekH743, and on any other board using flash
storage where the storage size has increased from 16k to 32k between
4.4.x and 4.5.x
The problem is that when you update to 4.5.x the parameter code stored
a backup of parameters in the StorageParamBak storage region which is
in the last section of storage. When you downgrade to 4.4.x the
AP_FlashStorage::load_sector() code tries to load this data and gets
an error as it is beyond the end of the available 16k storage. This
triggers an erase_all() and loss of parameters
our CANFD timings were resulting in a lot of busoff errors. Here is an
example of master at 1Mbit/5MBit:
Getting @SYS/can0_stats.txt as -

I am testing between a CubeOrange and a Pixhawk6X. I tested 1, 2, 4, 5
and 8 MBit (which are the only valid FD bitrates in our parameters)
Many thanks to Kai from Salient Motion for finding this issue and
providing the corrected timing table
Adds special storage handling for loiter turns. Fractional Loiter
Turns 0<N<1 are stored by multiplying the turn number by 256, then
dividing that number by 256 on retrieval.
