Andrew Tridgell a71cee4579 APM: accumulate mag readings during spare cycles in ArduPlane
With this change we average over 100 mag readings per compass.read()
call, which means we are reading the compass at over 1kHz instead of
10Hz. The noise reduction is huge.

Andrew Tridgell 0be8349678 APM: obey pitch limits in FBWA as well
this means pitch limits are constrained by LIM_PITCH_MIN and
LIM_PITCH_MAX

Andrew Tridgell 7ab7770c3d APM: added the ability to forcibly crash the plane on OBC failsafe breach
this allows a user to setup the OBC failsafe system to forcibly crash
the plane (surfaces at limits, zero throttle) when the failsafe system
triggers. This is to allow APM to be used in the Outback Challenge. In
the OBC an external failsafe board also does this using the heartbeat
control pin, so this is an extra safety mechanism.

To prevent users accidentially triggering a crash, this code only
activates if FS_TERM_ACTION is set to to the magic value 42.

Andrew Tridgell 3f54b83238 APM: added ALT_CTRL_ALG parameter
this allows you to select different altitude control algorithms. The
current choices are for the default (automatic based on if airspeed is
available), or to force a non-airspeed algorithm

The idea is to make it possible to use airspeed for some things (like
wind speed, speed scaling) but not for alt control

Andrew Tridgell ac2ad44c3c APM: cleanup throttle suppression code and don't use airspeed to unsupress
this removes the throttle suppression when any of the conditions are
met once, as otherwise flying slow below 10m could zero the throttle.

It also removes the use of airspeed for disabling throttle
supression. Otherwise a strong gust of wind can cause ArduPlane to
try to takeoff!

Andrew Tridgell d091311196 APM: removed factor of 0.5 in non-airspeed takeoff pitch

Thanks to Burt Green for the suggestion

Andrew Tridgell 93f45f232f APM: added 'OBC' failsafe module for ArduPlane
this adds FS_* parameters for setting up APM to follow the outback

Andrew Tridgell 98d5a49717 APM: fixed LOITER_TIME and LOITER_TURNS
These now follow the mavlink spec. Loiter time is in seconds, and
loiter turns is now 32 bit angle, so can handle larger numbers of
turns.

Andrew Tridgell 526344ab7c APM: added control switch debouncer
this adds a switch debouncer, similar to the one used in
ArduCopter. I'm adding this after a flight on the weekend where noise
on the control mode channel caused a mode change away from auto.

To prevent this change adding excessive mode switch latency, it also
moves the reading of the control switch to the 10Hz loop, away from
the 3.3Hz loop. That gives us 0.2s delay in mode switch changes and
allows for spikes in the control mode for 0.1 seconds without changing
mode.
