ArduCopter: bug fix to LAND flight mode not actually landing if initiated from failsafe
...
An hidden bit of failsafe functionality in the set_mode function was
switching the throttle mode back to THROTTLE_AUTO instead of
THROTTLE_LAND

ArduCopter: smooth throttle when switching from manual throttle to alt hold
...
new set_accel_throttle_I_from_pilot_throttle function copies the
difference between the pilot's throttle and hover throttle to the
accelerometer based throttle controller's I term.

ArduCopter: replace FS_THR_RTL_MIN_DISTANCE with wp_radius
...
This effectively means that an RTL kicked off by a failsafe will
immediately switch to LAND mode only if within 2 meters. Previously the
radius was much wider (15m).

Improved surface tracking by using slewed althold controller
Reduced sonar mode filter to just 3 elements to reduce lag but at the possible consequence of allowing sonar noise to creep through for people with margin sonar set-ups.

randy - you should please review these changes to make sure you wanted
to have the int16_t type in all of these structs, or how you want to
convert all these other integer types to int16_t if you do need it that
way.

ArduCopter: Use 16-bit arithmetic when comparing event tick counters.
...
- On the ARM, once the tick counter wrapped, we stopped running events
because the wraparound case wasn't being handled correctly. Make
sure the comparison is 16 bits to prevent this.
