Tom Pittenger 1ef0f27786 Plane: allow control_mode enum to be in arbitrary order
never use control_mode >= BLAH. This requires the order to be important which greatly increases chance for unexpected behavior

Andrew Tridgell 30e224e705 Plane: removed create() method for objects
See discussion here:

  https://github.com/ArduPilot/ardupilot/issues/7331

we were getting some uninitialised variables. While it only showed up in
AP_SbusOut, it means we can't be sure it won't happen on other objects,
so safest to remove the approach

Thanks to assistance from Lucas, Peter and Francisco

Michael du Breuil 9720fcb8cc Plane: Only update home when not armed, rather then not soft armed
Plane supports being armed, in takeoff logic and not spinning the motor
until the moment the safety button has been pressed. Unfortunately
because the safety button is required to be pressed for soft arming this
results in the plane updating home position while the user moves the
vehicle or is holding it to throw the vehicle which will can result in
several meters of altitude error from where the user expected home to
be.

Because the normal approach to plane is to have activated the safety
button before arming the aircraft this is not expected to be a behaviour
change for most users, but an improvement for people who use the button
to initiate a takeoff.

Andrew Tridgell e06f160dc9 Plane: disable rudder scaling in tailsitters
this is most often implemented as dual-motor differential thrust, and
we don't want to do surface speed scaling for that.

In the future we'll move this scaling so it can be done on rudders for
3D planes

Michael du Breuil bd32b5deb7 Plane: update isFlying() landing check
When we are landing a sink_rate < -0.2f means the vehicle is climbing,
which should never happen during an approach for any supported landing
type (slope or deepstall), and on hard impacts with the ground its
common for the vehicle altitude to be projected to low and climb back to
the correct altitude slowly (but at a higher rate). This changes the
check to only consider sinks while on approach as acceptable.

Andrew Tridgell 0aed5a9a57 Plane: prevent controller windup on ground
when on the ground in an auto-throttle mode lik FBWB or CRUISE, we may
have the throttle suppressed. In that case we should not run the
multicopter controller on quadplanes, or it may build up control which
will then apply on takeoff. This is particularly severe for aircraft
that are not level on the ground, such as taildragger quadplanes
