Andrew Tridgell bcea3ac8d4 Copter: handle rangefinder glitches in alt tracking
this handles glitches from the rangefinder when tracking the
ground. It requires 3 readings in a row to settle on a new target
altitude

thanks to discussions with Leonard and Randy

Randy Mackay 5894a54a16 Copter: althold uses current alt target if active
Previously we always reset the altitude target to the current altitude but this causes a jump if the vehicle is already in an alt-hold flight mode but has an altitude error

Leonard Hall fec24437f2 Copter: load accel throttle I term from attitude controller input
Previously we loaded up the I term from the pilot's input but a more reliable method is to get what was passed into the attitude controller.  In particular the addition of the acro-thr-mid parameter means the pilot's input must be interpreted differently for different flight modes.

Randy Mackay a07ecfe2b3 Copter: log proximity sensor at 10hz
This is current in the Copter vehicle code but we can move to the dataflash library when other vehicles start using this type of sensor.  Until then adding it to common will just increase the dependencies unnecessarily for other vehicles.

Gustavo Jose de Sousa b8e518a533 waf: use ap_library tool
That way we avoid recompiling source files that don't depend on vehicles.
Change notes:
- UTILITY_SOURCE_EXTS: moved to ap_library
- Task generators indexes: ap_library handles that now and in a better way
- Use of AP_STLIB_FEATURES: it doesn't make sense anymore, since the stlib
  taskgen has empty source list
- Flags and defines: passed down to ap_library through AP_LIBRARIES_OBJECTS_KW
- Set use='mavlink' in AP_LIBRARIES_OBJECTS_KW instead of calls to
  bld.ap_stlib().

Peter Barker f67d247a46 Copter: factor pre-arm checks, continue testing after a failure
The functional change here is that we continue to run later checks
when a check fails.

The user-visible effect of that is that your GCS will tell you about
all pre-arm failures, not just the first.

This makes things work a little more like Plane, in preparation for
using AP_Arming.

Randy Mackay 57977e2d76 Copter: ensure RTL to rally point does not breach the altitude fence
Previously we added the rally-point altitude to the calculated return altitude on the final line of this function meaning the fence's altitude check was not performed on the final value.  This change adds the rally-point altitude as the first step so it is included before the fence altitude check.
This change also converts the return alt to an alt-above-home so that it can correctly be compared to the fence (previously a terrain-altitude might have been compared to an alt-above home)

Peter Barker 043b1d321d Copter: remove paths for documenation for non-multi frame
Our current documentation system only emits one XML document (apm.pdef.xml)
for ArduCopter.

Since there is a conflict between parameters in the MOT_ namespace in Copter,
we only emit the documentation for the first parameter defining the MOT_ namespace.

This patch removes the documentation lines for frame types other than multicopter, meaning the documentation will reflect mutlictopter usage - the most common case.

These lines will need to be reinstated when we change the way we produce the xml documentation.
