9672742b42 Copter: bug fix to look_ahead_yaw
Fix received from David Dewey
Was incorrectly using the direction instead of heading when deciding
whether to point forward or not.  Reduced YAW_LOOK_AHEAD_MIN_SPEED to
1m/s because bug meant it was nearly always pointing forward and 10m/s
(the old value) seemed too high

7ea971d948 Copter: check set_mode for failure
Previously if set_mode failed it would return the copter to stabilize
mode.  With this commit set_mode returns a true/false indicating whether
it succeeded or not so the caller can make the decision as to the
appropriate response which could be to stay in the current flight mode
or try another flight mode.

Robert Lefebvre
b4863dc997 TradHeli: Change to throttle controller to allow swash plate collective to move, even if disarmed, if we are in Acro or Stab. This is slightly dangerous... as a user could cause a problem if they do not follow the proper usage procedures. If they do not route the ESC through the APM, but instead direct to Rx. And then if they do not Arm, they could take off in Stab mode while disarmed, but then when they switch to Alt_Hold, it will drop the collective to the bottom and they will fall. This can be saved by switching back to Stab. And it requires operation outside of the normal operating procedure.
This change is being made because most heli users expect to be able to check the swash plate operation before arming and taking off.

individual do_* commands are responsible for setting roll-pitch, yaw and
