bnsgeyer dec8c5de77 AP_Motors: convert heli code to use SRV_Channels
this converts the heli code to use the SRV_Channels output
functions. It does not change behaviour, but removes the last vehicle
type that did its own servo output calculations.  This change also
fixed servo initialization conflicts.

Note that this also allows helis to be setup with more than one
channel for a particular output (eg. two separate channels for tail
servo if they are wanted). This isn't likely to be used much, but does
make heli consistent with other vehicle types

Mathieu OTHACEHE 152edf7189 Global: remove mode line from headers
Using a global .dir-locals.el file is a better alternative than
reincluding the same emacs header in every file of the project.

Andrew Tridgell 11975223dd AP_Motors: added H_RSC_POWER_NEGC and H_RSC_SLEWRATE
this gives more control over throttle for petrol
helis. H_RSC_POWER_NEGC allows for a asymmetric V-curve, which allows
for less power being put into the head when landing or when sitting on
the ground. That can lead to significantly less vibration and chance
of ground oscillation. A heli not being flown with aerobatics does not
need to use high throttle at negative collective pitch.

The H_RSC_SLEWRATE allows for a maximum throttle slew rate to be
set. Some petrol motors can cut if the throttle is moved too
quickly. We had this happen at a height of 6m when switching from
ALT_HOLD to STABILIZE mode. It also lowers the chance of the blades
skewing in their holders with the sudden change of power when the heli
is disarmed. In general it is a bad idea to do instantaneous large
movements of a IC engine throttle.

skyscraper daec4ea10e AP_Motors: Fix up after RC_Channels refactor
Further to refactor of RC_Channel class which included
adding get_xx set_xx methods, change reads and writes to the public members
to calls to  get and set functionsss

old public member(int16_t)   get function -> int16_t     set function (int16_t)
(expression where c is an object of type RC_Channel)
c.radio_in                     c.get_radio_in()           c.set_radio_in(v)
c.control_in                   c.get_control_in()         c.set_control_in(v)
c.servo_out                    c.get_servo_out()          c.set_servo_out(v)
c.pwm_out                      c.get_pwm_out()            // use existing
c.radio_out                    c.get_radio_out()          c.set_radio_out(v)
c.radio_max                    c.get_radio_max()          c.set_radio_max(v)
c.radio_min                    c.get_radio_min()          c.set_radio_min(v)
c.radio_trim                   c.get_radio_trim()         c.set_radio_trim(v);

c.min_max_configured() // return true if min and max are configured

Because data members of RC_Channels are now private and so cannot be written directly
 some overloads are provided in the Plane classes to provide the old functionality

new overload Plane::stick_mix_channel(RC_Channel *channel)
which forwards to the previously existing
void stick_mix_channel(RC_Channel *channel, int16_t &servo_out);

new overload Plane::channel_output_mixer(Rc_Channel* , RC_Channel*)const
which forwards to
(uint8_t mixing_type, int16_t & chan1, int16_t & chan2)const;

Rename functions

 RC_Channel_aux::set_radio_trim(Aux_servo_function_t function)
    to RC_Channel_aux::set_trim_to_radio_in_for(Aux_servo_function_t function)

 RC_Channel_aux::set_servo_out(Aux_servo_function_t function, int16_t value)
    to RC_Channel_aux::set_servo_out_for(Aux_servo_function_t function, int16_t value)

 Rationale:

        RC_Channel is a complicated class, which combines
        several functionalities dealing with stick inputs
        in pwm and logical units, logical and actual actuator
        outputs, unit conversion etc, etc
        The intent of this PR is to clarify existing use of
        the class. At the basic level it should now be possible
        to grep all places where private variable is set by
        searching for the set_xx function.

        (The wider purpose is to provide a more generic and
        logically simpler method of output mixing. This is a small step)
