Inertial Control
...
I added inertial navigation based on the simulator data. This is an option only available if you compile with Arduino and set
#define INERTIAL_NAV ENABLED
in the APM_Config.h file.
This has been tested for one real flight and did not crash my quad, but consider it very alpha. The quad may be unpredictable at first until the error correction fixes poorly calibrated accels. Be Careful.
Most of the real work is in the inertia file, but the error correction, new variable defines and calibration calls are sprinkled throughout.
The Log should record RAW messages with special debugging values.

ArduCopter: Ensure update_GPS does nothing when gps is disabled.
...
This fixes a bug in which an APM without a GPS would not work because it would constantly scan for a valid GPS long after it should have given up and moved on.

pulling throttle low in flight turns out to be more common than thought. Removed clearing of takeoff_complete flag. This is still cleared during disarm which is automatic after 30 seconds of no throttle.

reversed circle_WP calculation so the next_WP refers to the destination around the circle and circle_WP refers to the center. The intent is to make it easier to see via ground station.

MAVLink: send time of GPS fix accurately
...
when we send a GPS_RAW message, set the usec field to the time we got
the fix from the GPS, not the current time. This makes it possible for
aerial photo processing to be more accurate, as the usec field with
more accurately reflect the planes position/time pair
