Plane: improve vectored tailsitter takeoff
...
this gives extra pitch input when taking off a vectored tailsitter,
allowing the motors to point straight up for easy takeoff
thanks to Leonard for the idea!

Plane: support vectored yaw tiltrotors
...
this adds support for tiltrotors which control yaw by vectoring the
forward motors. This avoids the need for the rear motor on a
tilt-tricopter to have a tilt servo

Plane: in fixed wing mode slave quadplane attitude rate controller
...
For quadplanes this uses the attitude controller from fixed wing
when using the multicopter controller to assist fixed wing
flight. This prevents a rate mismatch between the two controller
leading to oscillation

Plane: added manual input mask for tailsitter prop-hang
...
This adds new parameters Q_TAILSIT_MASK and Q_TAILSIT_MASKCH. These
parameters allow a user to use the tailsitter capabilities of a 3D
plane to teach themselves to prop-hang.
It works by allowing the user to setup a switch on their transmitter
to enable manual pass-thru of a set of the input channels to outputs
when in tailsitter hover. The user can then use that switch to allow
learning of hover control in a 3D plane one channel (or two channels)
at a time.

Plane: added Q_TAILSIT_INPUT

a plane) or in earth frame (like a multicopter). This is useful for
people wanting to learn to fly prop-hang on 3D planes

Plane: split out the tailsitter transition complete code
...
use both roll and pitch to trigger completion of transition. This
copes with situations where the plane has managed to get itself rolled
over far enough that it can't recover into hover
