APM: added RUDDER_STEER option
...
when enabled, this uses only the rudder to steer during takeoff and
landing, using aileron only for levelling

APM: accumulate mag readings during spare cycles in ArduPlane
...
With this change we average over 100 mag readings per compass.read()
call, which means we are reading the compass at over 1kHz instead of
10Hz. The noise reduction is huge.

APM: added the ability to forcibly crash the plane on OBC failsafe breach
...
this allows a user to setup the OBC failsafe system to forcibly crash
the plane (surfaces at limits, zero throttle) when the failsafe system
triggers. This is to allow APM to be used in the Outback Challenge. In
the OBC an external failsafe board also does this using the heartbeat
control pin, so this is an extra safety mechanism.
To prevent users accidentially triggering a crash, this code only
activates if FS_TERM_ACTION is set to to the magic value 42.

APM: added ALT_CTRL_ALG parameter
...
this allows you to select different altitude control algorithms. The
current choices are for the default (automatic based on if airspeed is
available), or to force a non-airspeed algorithm
The idea is to make it possible to use airspeed for some things (like
wind speed, speed scaling) but not for alt control

APM: cleanup throttle suppression code and don't use airspeed to unsupress
...
this removes the throttle suppression when any of the conditions are
met once, as otherwise flying slow below 10m could zero the throttle.
It also removes the use of airspeed for disabling throttle
supression. Otherwise a strong gust of wind can cause ArduPlane to
try to takeoff!

APM: added control switch debouncer
...
this adds a switch debouncer, similar to the one used in
ArduCopter. I'm adding this after a flight on the weekend where noise
on the control mode channel caused a mode change away from auto.
To prevent this change adding excessive mode switch latency, it also
moves the reading of the control switch to the 10Hz loop, away from
the 3.3Hz loop. That gives us 0.2s delay in mode switch changes and
allows for spikes in the control mode for 0.1 seconds without changing
mode.
