Andrew Tridgell f501503eb0 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
calculations, but gains us more accuracy as we are able to take
advantage of sub-bit precision when we average over 8 samples.

Andrew Tridgell 209136386b AP_Baro: added get_pressure_samples() interface
this returns how many samples were used to calculate the last pressure

Andrew Tridgell c387edd74c Baro: added get_altitude() and get_climb_rate() interfaces
this allows the barometer driver to calibrate and return altitude and
climb rate values. This will be used by the AHRS drift correction code
for vertical velocity

The climb rate uses a 5 point average filter

Andrew Tridgell 897d9a1c0b baro: fixed an integer overflow issue at high altitudes
the averaging array was using 16 bit numbers, but we are storing
numbers with 19 significant bits. That caused overflow at high
altitude, and some very interesting altitude graphs!

Thanks to Michael Oborne for spotting this in a log
