Olivier-ADLER bf6120d8b7 Copter: Move CH7 - CH8 check from read_aux_switches() to pre_arm_checks.
Moving this to pre-arm checks save some processing time and is safer.

Andrew Tridgell 9bbe6c1967 Plane: update to new license boilerplate for GPLv3
we had LGPLv2 in some places, despite the fw being GPLv3

Randy Mackay e2fbc00b52 LeadFilter: removed this unused library
This was used to project the GPS position forward to compensate for lag
but this has become unnecessary with the introduction of the inertial
nav in x and y axis.

Randy Mackay 7ea971d948 Copter: check set_mode for failure
Previously if set_mode failed it would return the copter to stabilize
mode.  With this commit set_mode returns a true/false indicating whether
it succeeded or not so the caller can make the decision as to the
appropriate response which could be to stay in the current flight mode
or try another flight mode.
