fd110a2723 ArduCopter: modified mainloop timing to be in sync with the arrival of new data from the IMU.
This reduces the maximum delay between when new sensor data arrives and when it is actually used by about 5ms.

c9d34c1737 ArduCopter: fixes to allow AP_Mount to work on APM1 with original default channels and fix to reenable support for 3-axis gimbals on APM2.
Channels 5 to 11 changed to RC_Channel_aux.
Removed channel 9 because APM_RC doesn't support it in any case.
Updated EEPROM format version to 119 because of the change to RC_Channel_aux and because k_param_rc_11 moved to be after k_param_rc_10.

36f947acb9 ArduCopter: changed all "int" to "int16_t" and a few "long"s to "int32_t".
Also moved "simple_counter" variable from global scope to the "update_simple_mode" function which is the only place that it's actually used.

a4bc5950cf ACM: Added a filtered version of Location for GPS lag.
I did this because when you are close to a WP the Yaw angle can go a bit wacky as the location jumps around. The filtered loc is only used in the wp_distance calculation now.

107155fa1a AP_Mount: Allow using any RC channel to control any of the mount axes.
This has the added benefit of saving 60 bytes and simplifying Mission Planner gui.

The servos get written by the update_mount_position() function, this simplifies main()
PS: The beauty of using libraries: I did not have to touch a single line of ArduPlane's code!

c42f9ece43 Inertial Control
I added inertial navigation based on the simulator data. This is an option only available if you compile with Arduino and set
#define INERTIAL_NAV ENABLED
in the APM_Config.h file.

This has been tested for one real flight and did not crash my quad, but consider it very alpha. The quad may be unpredictable at first until the error correction fixes poorly calibrated accels. Be Careful.

Most of the real work is in the inertia file, but the error correction, new variable defines and calibration calls are sprinkled throughout.

The Log should record RAW messages with special debugging values.

730476fdfd ACM -
Implemented automatic ranging of Alt Hold gains. Works well in simulator and testing.
- alt hold estimation moved to 50 hz
- simple fixed observer calc for smooth and accurate climb rates useful for derivative calcs
- auto-reset of the I term by moving I value into throttle value. This recalcs the gain every 20seconds for battery drainage compensation in long flights.
- remove filtering for Nav_throttle
- added a way to lower the gain on nav_throttle for descents by / climb_rate error by 2 - seems to work OK and keeps copter from dropping like a rock when the Baro drifts quickly lower.
- removed old throttle hold set point code
- made throttle override for alt hold +- 200 vs 250

Fixes compatibility for APM2.  Also a significant update to the battery monitoring code:  We previously had monitoring modes for individual cell voltages for 3 and 4 cell lipos.  These have been removed as they were never really supported (the cell voltages were computed but were not reported or recorded anywhere).  Also, some clean-up/prep work was done for supporting monitoring 2 separate battery packs.  The CLI battery and current monitoring tests were consolidated into 1 test.
