7d7a2aced7 Copter: init vert speed and accel for each flight mode
This resolves issue #1021 in which LAND mode could descend at the
PILOT_VELZ rate instead of the WPNAV_SPEED_DN

Pilot defined acceleration is used for AltHold, AutoTune , Circle,
Hybrid, Loiter, OF_Loiter and Sport flight modes
Waypoint Nav (ie. AutoPilot) acceleration is used for Auto, Land, RTL

0665cf6b28 Copter: RTL alt should not be above fence alt
Resolves issue #435

vehicle was already in LAND mode, the LAND would continue to be GPS

20de5b3006 Copter: Loiter clears out pilot acceleration when failsafe occurs
This ensures invalid pilot desired accelerations are cleared from the
loiter controller.  This is probably not strictly necessary because the
vehicle should switch out of Loiter and into RTL during failsafe.

05d9dc5cba Copter: RTL always land if in radio failsafe
Resolves issue in which vehicle would get stuck at RTL_ALT_FINAL if
failsafe occured.
Also clear out pilot acceleration from loiter controller if failsafe
occurs during the final descent.

19f1e7fec4 Copter: disable Parachute by default
This saves 1k of flash and we are desperately low on the APM1/APM2.
Hopefully we can find savings somewhere and re-enable it by default.

ea64438ef9 Copter: RTL ensures heading is back to initial heading
This fixes the issue in which a short RTL_LOIT_TIME could cause the
vehicle's heading to be caught between it's heading when it arrived at
home and the initial armed heading.  With this fix it now waits above
home until the timer has run out AND the heading is within 2degrees of
the initial armed heading.

e23115516d Copter: disarm after completing RTL
Note that an RTL command executed in AUTO mode will also disarm when it
lands and pilot's throttle is put to zero and no further commands will
be executed.  This is normally not an issue because missions generally
end with an RTL (instead of having the RTL in the middle) and a work
around is available in that the LAND command could be used instead of
RTL.

disabled

ff532a06ec Copter: Hybrid fixes to wind_comp, brake pitch timer, thr peaks
There was an error in the velocity axis used to update
brake_timeout_pitch (vel_right instead of vel_fw)

The wind_comp was not enough filtered for the Pixhawk (400Hz), so I
added a specific time constant (TC_WIND_COMP) to have the expected
filter with 400Hz controllers.

About throttle peaks, after some tests and from logs, they happen when
hybrid switches to loiter.
There is always a difference between Alt and DesiredAlt (DAlt), but,
when loiter engages, it initializes DAlt = Alt and the copter tries
immediatelly to reach that new setpoint. So the solution would be to
init_loiter_target() just as it was in pre-onion code : only x/y and not
z. and to be able to pass parameters like that
wp_nav.init_loiter_target(inertial_nav.get_position(), Vector3f(0,0,0));

Well, from this new code structure, it seems not possible with current
functions so I've used set_loiter_target that init position passed as
parameter and velocity to 0 (as expected).
BTW, I think there was something wrong with set_loiter_target function,
the "Vector3f& position" parameter was not used at all...
I moved the reset flag from init_loiter_target to set_loiter_target.

b3e8112d24 Copter: Hybrid fix wind_comp time constant
Corrected timer init values and wind_comp time constant to get the best
behaviour

Check if wider deadband required (current is 30).
We were using a comparison to a 70-100 cdeg deadband in our initial
code. The deadband was there to avoid unwanted switches in case of
inaccurate fingers/radio

Adjusted timers to 100/400Hz

I_term does not init when in hybrid loiter
