ArduCopter: bug fix to LAND flight mode not actually landing if initiated from failsafe
...
An hidden bit of failsafe functionality in the set_mode function was
switching the throttle mode back to THROTTLE_AUTO instead of
THROTTLE_LAND

ArduCopter: smooth throttle when switching from manual throttle to alt hold
...
new set_accel_throttle_I_from_pilot_throttle function copies the
difference between the pilot's throttle and hover throttle to the
accelerometer based throttle controller's I term.

ArduCopter: replace FS_THR_RTL_MIN_DISTANCE with wp_radius
...
This effectively means that an RTL kicked off by a failsafe will
immediately switch to LAND mode only if within 2 meters. Previously the
radius was much wider (15m).

Also removed slow low pass filter meant to correct for accelerometer calibration. This is no longer required now that we have the improved calibration method.

Added set_yaw_mode to better control of yaw controller changes and variable initialisation.
Replaced AUTO_YAW mode with separate yaw controllers YAW_LOOK_AT_NEXT_WP, YAW_LOOK_AT_LOCATION, YAW_LOOK_AT_HEADING.
Pilot manual override of yaw causes yaw to change to YAW_HOLD (i.e. manual yaw) until next waypoint is reached.
Added get_yaw_slew function to control how quickly autopilot turns copter
Changed YAW_LOOK_AHEAD to use GPS heading and moved to new get_look_ahead_yaw function in Attitude.pde
Renamed variables: target_bearing->wp_bearing, original_target_bearing->original_wp_bearing.
Removed auto_yaw_tracking and auto_yaw variables and update_auto_yaw function as they are no longer needed.
Simplified MAV_CMD_CONDITION_YAW handling (do_yaw). We lose ability to control direction of turn and ability to do long panorama shots but it now works between waypoints and save 20bytes.
