tridge60@gmail.com a2589c3573 AP_Var: added EEPROM wear levelling
This adds a variable length dummy variable at the front of the EEPROM
when we erase it, which has the effect of moving the location of any
hot variables within the EEPROM. This should improve EEPROM
life. Thanks to Mike for the implementation.

tridge60@gmail.com 3255503032 AP_Var: avoid wearing out EEPROM by re-writing the same value
when saving a variable, this avoids EEPROM wear by checking if the
existing value is already the same as the value being written, and
avoiding the write.

Thanks to Mike Smith for the implementation

We were using && instead of & for a bit check. Thanks to Mike for
spotting this!

tridge60@gmail.com 442e7ddc49 AP_Var: fill all of EEPROM with 0xFF on erase_all()
This wipes all parameter values, and also clears out any waypoints as
the waypoint format could have changed between firmware revisions.

This also ensures that the AP_Var code can't re-use any key values
from the old EEPROM state, which makes us less dependent on the old
EEPROM being in a good state

this new implementation reduces code size, and also reduces stack

Note that we will gain even more when we move to the new protocol
version, especially in terms of code size

tridge60@gmail.com 32c576f28c Compass: several fixes to compass calibration code
this changes the calibration code to require at least 5 good reads
from the compass during initialisation. The calibration is taken as
the average of the 5 values.

This also fixes the expected values for the 3 axes for the 5883 to
match reality.

We also save a bit of code space by adding a common rotate_for_5883L()
routine.
