Andrew Tridgell 8ecf54bf75 Plane: use throttle slew when in quadplane assisted flight
this prevents a sudden throttle change on a petrol motor when
transitioning

Tom Pittenger c837fbca2f Plane: 3/3 new param TECS_LAND_SRC for Land Sink Rate Change
// @Description: When zero, the flare sink rate (TECS_LAND_SINK) is a fixed sink demand. With this enabled the flare sinkrate will increase/decrease the flare sink demand as you get further beyond the LAND waypoint. Has no effect before the waypoint. This value is added to TECS_LAND_SINK proportional to distance traveled after wp. With an increasing sink rate you can still land in a given distance if you're traveling too fast and cruise passed the land point. A positive value will force the plane to land sooner proportional to distance passed land point. A negative number will tell the plane to slowly climb allowing for a pitched-up stall landing. Recommend 0.2 as initial value.

Tom Pittenger d04b5e735f Plane: add SYS_STATUS reverse_motor
- helpful to tell GCS to interpret VFR_HUD as negative when bit is enabled

Tom Pittenger b098466e87 Plane: reduce redundant logging of STAT from 6 Hz to 5 Hz

Tom Pittenger 2e92089ce6 Plane: Reverse Thrust
Reverse thrust for controlled landings, even with much steeper approach slopes. This is achieved by allowing throttle demand to go negative to maintain a target airspeed. A Pre-Flare stage was added, triggered by an altitude, to allow for a slower airspeed just before land. That lower airspeed can be near stall.
new params LAND_PF_ALT, LAND_PF_SEC, LAND_PF_ARSPD, USE_REV_THRUST

Gustavo Jose de Sousa 17e5d99509 waf: allow partial builds with new mavlink as submodule
The task generator for the mavlink headers is given a name 'mavlink' and is
added as a dependency to all local static libraries, because all of them use
sources that include mavlink headers. It would be nice to have a good way to
detect sources that use mavlink headers or to declare list of libraries that
use the headers, so that the dependency could be added automatically.

Additionally, there's a minor change in syntax for the task generator: using
strings directly instead of lists.
