36bcd827b4 AP_Mount: Allow using any RC channel to control any of the mount axes.
This has the added benefit of saving 60 bytes and simplifying Mission Planner gui.
Moved some code from RC_Channel_aux to AP_Mount class
The servos get written by the update_mount_position() function, this simplifies main()
PS: The beauty of using libraries: I did not have to touch a single line of ArduPlane's code!

54b320a9a0 Fixing Trad Heli Ext ESC Controller
-Added ramp-down rate instead of instantly setting ramp to zero when throttle is dropped to bottom. This is to allow "warm-restart" if shutdown was unintentional.
-Actual ESC still goes to zero while throttle is dropped to the bottom, only the ramp counter winds down slowly behind the scenes.

960c2f08af AP_Mount: addition of Amilcar's mount_type

21f0ed00b3 AHRS: normalise GA_b before computing error vector only if too large

a2e6af1f9c AP_Mount: added set_manual_rc_channel and set_manual_rc_channel_function to allow input of pitch, roll and yaw controls from a regular RC_Channel (i.e. not RC_Channel_aux)
For now, angles red in are always of the range -45 deg ~ 45 deg which is consistent with the existing arducopter implementation but should be improved to scale the pilot's input to the mount's actual range.

3b9a1d4305 RC_Channel_aux: added enable_out method to help stop servos from moving before the mount has initialised.
changed parameter names of "update_aux_servo_function" to make it more clear that any 4 servos can be passed in (not just servos 5~8).
Also allowed NULL servos to be passed in as parameters because we only need 3 in ArduCopter.

ab1212d8d2 Instituting Yaw Differential on Multirotors. Intent is to stop "rise on yaw input".
Since motors with increasing speed due to yaw input seem to generate more thrust that motors that slow lose thrust, thus net thrust goes up, causing copter to climb.
Values are a guesstimate, proven out by test flying.  This could probably become a parameter.

44755bf3ce AP_Baro: improved barometer averaging
this changes the barometer calculations to floating point. On a MS5611
this is actually about twice as fast as the previous 64 bit

advantage of sub-bit precision when we average over 8 samples.

03516b7dfa AHRS: make DCM drift correction not rely on accurate yaw
this uses a new formulation of the GPS based drift correction from
Bill Premerlani that rotates the error vector to avoid relying on

even with lots of magnetometer interference

It also makes it possible to fly a multicopter with no compass. It can
even navigate and correct yaw (slowly!)

7a77832f45 Baro: average over all pressure/temperature samples on MS5611
this allows us to use the MS5611 barometer at its full 100Hz sample
rate (80Hz for pressure, 20Hz for temperature). The pressure and
temperature values are averaged between reads without adding any
latency. Previously the driver would throw away values between
readings

This also fixes a race condition in reading from the SPI bus that
could lead to bad values from the barometer
