d4cfb432ca Copter: use disparity threshold define for pre-arm checks
There are two duplicate checks, one in the pre-arm checks (i.e. checks
run every 15 seconds or so before the vehicle is armed) and one in the
arming checks (run immediately before arming).  The definition in the
pre-arm checks was still using the old hardcoded value.

a12d9109e0 Copter: remove thr check during init_arm_motors
This check is redundant now that we have a check within the arm_check()
function.
Removing this check does raise a slight danger that someone could raise
the throttle after arming but before the gyro and baro calibration has
completed but the delay has been greatly shortened from what it once was
so there is much less danger that someone could approach the vehicle
during the short arming delay.

28f31166b9 Copter: land check gets overall throttle and rotation rate check
add check that overall throttle level is below the non-takeoff throttle
instead of just checking that it's motors have hit their lower limits
because low limits can also be caused by high yaw rotation requests.
Absolute climb rate requirement reduced to 30cm/s

05a37dd54d Copter: add short delay to arming to allow RC input
The short delay gives time for the RC inputs to be processed which
removes the chance of a false-positive on the "late frame" radio check.
A false positive could lead to an immediate disarm right after arming.

85b4ba6142 Copter: Thr and Batt failsafe disarm when landed
When throttle/radio failsafe or battery failsafe are triggered, the
vehicle will disarm if it is landed even if the throttle is not at zero.
Auto mode will disarm if landed and mission has not started.  This
ensures that the vehicle does not disarm during a mission land command
that appears mid way through a mission.
