...
this switches ArduPlane over to use the L1 navigation controller, via
a generic nav_controller object pointer.
Note that the nav_controller controls all types of navigation now,
including level flight and heading hold. This provides a cleaner
abstraction than the old method of special case navigation handling

Plane: change FBWB altitude control algorithm
...
this makes FBWB much less sensitive to airframe tuning. When the
elevator stick first goes neutral it locks in the current altitude as
the target altitude. When the elevator stick is off neutral, it moves
the target altitude in proportion to the elevator, at a rate goverened
by the new FBWB_CLIMB_RATE parameter
This prevents the aircraft from slowly drifting in altitude in FBWB,
and gives a more intuitive control mechanism for altitude.
Thanks to Chris Miser from Falcon UAV for help in designing this
change

Plane: added TKOFF_HEAD_HOLD option
...
this allows control over whether ArduPlane tries to hold heading
during auto takeoff. For hand launches it can be better to hold the
wings level and not attempt to hold heading during takeoff to prevent
the possibility of a stall during the climb out.
Thanks to Chris Miser from Falcon UAV for the feedback that led to
this option.

APM: fixed throttle nudging
...
The nudge value depended on RC3_TRIM, which is not a reliable
value. It tried to only take effect when the throttle stick was above
50%, but if RC3_TRIM was high for some reason (say 1500) then it would
actually depress the throttle by a large amount, which could cause the
plane to stall.
This also adds a boolean option THROTTLE_NUDGE to allow disabling of
throttle nudging

...
this allows you to select different altitude control algorithms. The

wind speed, speed scaling) but not for alt control

AirSpeed: added parameter ARSPD_USE
...
setting ARSPD_ENABLE to 1 and ARSPD_USE to 0 allows the airspeed
sensor to be initialised and logged without it being used for flight
control. This is very useful when initially testing an airspeed sensor
in a new plane. It also makes it possible to enable/disable the use of
the airspeed sensor during a flight at any time.

APM: Added MANUAL_LEVEL option
...
when MANUAL_LEVEL is set to 1, we don't do accelerometer levelling at
startup, and instead used the values saved in the EEPROM. This makes
it easier to do levelling on the bench, or once for a series of
flights for the day
