Compass: added COMPASS_LEARN and COMPASS_USE parameters
...
these allow you to control if the compass should be used for yaw and
if it should learn its offsets. This is useful for locking in compass
offsets once they are confirmed to be good, and for learning offsets
without using them in flights.
The default is to behave the same as previously, which is
COMPASS_LEARN=1 and COMPASS_USE=1

DCM: tidy up use of error_course and in_motion

in_motion is not a good name now it is also used for the compass
The error_course and heading component values don't need to be part of
the DCM object, they can be on the stack to reduce the memory usage a bit

DCM: use rotation_matrix_from_euler() to calculate initial yaw

When we first get a compass reading or we first start motion we need
to setup the DCM matrix with the right yaw. This uses
rotation_matrix_from_euler() to get a DCM matrix corresponding to our
current roll/pitch, but with the correct yaw

DCM: range check the matrix before calculating pitch
...
The asin() in the pitch calculation can only take values between -1
and 1. This change ensures that the value is in range, and if it isn't
then we force a normalization. If that fails we reset the matrix

DCM: remove the taylor expansion optimisation for renormalisation
...
The sqrt() costs about 44usec on a 2560, which is small enough for us
not to worry about the speed.
This also changes the range of values where we declare a blowup to
much less likely, which means we can cope with larger delta_t glitches

Found free extra 256 bytes of RAM eliminate _clz use from libgcc
...
Believe it or not, changing / 2^31 to >>31 saved 256 bytes in the "d" segment.
The reason is that GCC version prior to 4.3.5 does not have a count_leading_zeros (clz) assembler macro, so it uses a 256 byte lookup table called _clz
The _clz table gets pulled in if you do 64 bit division.
This tiny change is the only place that we do long long division.
Changing to a shift saves 256 bytes of ram.

...
* CH_10 is on APM2 pin A10 (based on A1..A8 convention)
* CH_11 is on APM2 pin A11
* Only the code in enable_out, disable_out, and OutputCh needed to change.
* CH_10 and CH_11 always have an output period of 20ms (50Hz).

Add a CLI setup action to reset the magnetometer offsets
...
Since the magnetometer offsets are not available through the MAVLink parameter interface (since they are an AP_Var vector) this little feature allows them to be reset from the CLI. Useful if you somehow get bad offsets or if you change magnetometer. If you have a bad set of large offset values I have seen issues with the nulling algorithm have trouble converging to the proper values. I have never seen it have trouble converging from 0/0/0, so this could be a useful feature from time to time.

baro: fixed an integer overflow issue at high altitudes
...
the averaging array was using 16 bit numbers, but we are storing
numbers with 19 significant bits. That caused overflow at high
altitude, and some very interesting altitude graphs!

Bug fix for compass.
...
This is a fix for an interesting bug when a DCM matrix reset was added to the ground start. This bug only showed up if (A) a ground start were performed after an air start or due to use of the "Calibrate Gryo" action, (B) if the current orientation were sufficiently different from 0/0/0, and (C.) if the particular magnetometer had sufficiently large offsets. Why did resetting the DCM matrix to 0/0/0 pitch/roll/yaw at ground start cause a bug? The magnetometer offset nulling determines the proper offsets for the magnetometer by comparing the observed change in the magnetic field vector with the expected change due to rotation as calculated from the rotation in the DCM matrix. This comparison is made at 10Hz, and then filtered with a weight based on the amount of rotation to estimate the offsets. Normally it would take considerable time at normal in-flight rotation rates for the offset estimate to converge.
If a DCM matrix reset occurs when the offset nulling algorithm is up and running, the algorithm sees the DCM reset as a instantaneous rotation, however the magnetic field vector did not change at all. Under certain conditions the algorithm would interpret this as indicating that the offset(s) should be very large. Since the "rotation" could also have been large the filter weighting would be large and it was possible for a large erroneous estimate of the offset(s) to be made based on this single (bad) data point.
To fix this bug methods were added to the compass object to start and stop the offset nulling algorithm. Further, when the algorithm is started, it is set up to get fresh samples. The DCM matrix reset method now calls these new methods to stop the offset nulling before resetting the matrix, and resume after the matrix has been reset.
