175f69a64f 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.

9ad6f711f8 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).

12f885c33c ArduCopter: disable ITERM logging by default
This message takes 1ms to write and we are running over our limits on
some loops.

b0c710b67f Copter: move read_AHRS() before run_rate_controllers()

21b6c78d12 ArduCopter: added get_throttle_althold_with_slew to allow slower altitude target changes
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.

d7eeeab79e ArduCopter: fix new style Log.pde build for PX4.
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.

87627d883b ArduCopter: use new logging method for remaining packet types

177da0ca74 ArduCopter: fixed minor bug in logging of parameter changes to dataflash
It is questionable whether we should even bother writing these to the
dataflash as there is no way to recognise which parameter has been
affectded

b4bbae56c6 ArduCopter: reduce redundant event logging
We now only write state changes to the dataflash log when they have
changed.
Also replaced <tab> with <space> in AP_State.pde

7374e5d84e 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.

ab37f833db MS5611: Fix CONFIG_MS5611_SERIAL definitions.
- Make sure the values are defined as integers.  We were always using
  SPI rather than using I2C when desired.

d952ccf968 Copter: added main_loop_ready() function

message if the main loop could run.

264db3670e AP_Baro: Add CONFIG_MS5611_SERIAL option to choose between SPI and I2C.
- Update ArduCopter and ArduPlane modules to pass the correct serial
  driver to the MS5611 driver.
- Update barometer examples, assuming SPI.
