AP_InertialSensor: always sample at 200Hz in MPU6000
...
this changes the sampling to 200Hz regardless of requested rate, and
it is downsampled inside num_samples_available() using a shift. This
gives better noise resistance in ArduPlane.
This patch also makes it possible to update the filter frequency while
running, which is very useful for bench testing with a vibration
source

HAL_PX4: rewrite UART driver to be much more efficient

this does the IO in the timer thread, and uses buffers in the main

The cost of PX4 read and write system calls is quite high - about 10
to 15 usec. We can't afford to pay that per byte
