TradHeli: add support for drive tail rotors
...
Repurposed external gyro and made it multi-funcitonal.
required PWM on Ch8 to start the motor in RSC Mode moved up from 100 to 400. This is to facilitate two-stage switching of the motors with PWM>100 starting the tail motor, and PWM>400 starting the main motor.
