AP_MotorsMatrix - fixed stability patch issue in which it would not limit a motor's output unless an opposite motor had been defined. This would only have affected Y6 frames.

ArduCopter - AP_Motors library - added new library which has few advantages over current code:
...
1. it's step towards rearchitecting the current code base ahead of a move to RTOS.
2. internally it uses a MatrixTable for the Quad, Octa, OctaQuad, Y6 frames.
3. it implements the missing stability patch for Octa and OctaQuads (still missing for Y6)
Later check-ins will incorporate into the main ArduCopter code.

MAVLink: don't waste 100 bytes of bandwidth sending 1 byte of information
...
the GPS_STATUS message is a massive waste of bandwidth, but it is the
only message that tells us the number of visible satellites. So only
send it if that information changes.
This makes MAVLink work better at low baud rates

MAVLink: raise the serial transmit buffer size to 256 bytes

the 128 byte serial transmit buffer was causing significant problems
with queueing of mavlink messages. With 256 bytes we can fit a lot
more messages out in each pass of the code, which makes telemetry more
efficient
As we discussed on the dev call, we now have enough free ram for this
to be worthwhile
