Andrew Tridgell 31d7d9f909 Plane: change airspeed parameter prefix
this makes for clearer parameter names with dual sensors

Tom Pittenger 746ca91649 Plane: reset groundspeed_undershoot value when GPS is lost
If we lose GPS lock the gndspd undershoot value gets stuck at the last calculated value forever (until GPS locks again)

Tom Pittenger 1ef0f27786 Plane: allow control_mode enum to be in arbitrary order
never use control_mode >= BLAH. This requires the order to be important which greatly increases chance for unexpected behavior

Andrew Tridgell 30e224e705 Plane: removed create() method for objects
See discussion here:

  https://github.com/ArduPilot/ardupilot/issues/7331

we were getting some uninitialised variables. While it only showed up in
AP_SbusOut, it means we can't be sure it won't happen on other objects,
so safest to remove the approach

Thanks to assistance from Lucas, Peter and Francisco

Andrew Tridgell 49cb245ea6 Plane: use a min airspeed for is_flying test
in VTOLs setting min airspeed to zero can be useful

Michael du Breuil 1a3ca43e86 Plane: Don't check FS_SHORT_TIMEOUT if it's disabled
Also renames the check_minimum_altitude() to reflect that it's only used
for FBWB.

Michael du Breuil 9720fcb8cc Plane: Only update home when not armed, rather then not soft armed
Plane supports being armed, in takeoff logic and not spinning the motor
until the moment the safety button has been pressed. Unfortunately
because the safety button is required to be pressed for soft arming this
results in the plane updating home position while the user moves the
vehicle or is holding it to throw the vehicle which will can result in
several meters of altitude error from where the user expected home to
be.

Because the normal approach to plane is to have activated the safety
button before arming the aircraft this is not expected to be a behaviour
change for most users, but an improvement for people who use the button
to initiate a takeoff.

Andrew Tridgell e06f160dc9 Plane: disable rudder scaling in tailsitters
this is most often implemented as dual-motor differential thrust, and
we don't want to do surface speed scaling for that.

In the future we'll move this scaling so it can be done on rudders for
3D planes

Michael du Breuil bd32b5deb7 Plane: update isFlying() landing check
When we are landing a sink_rate < -0.2f means the vehicle is climbing,
which should never happen during an approach for any supported landing
type (slope or deepstall), and on hard impacts with the ground its
common for the vehicle altitude to be projected to low and climb back to
the correct altitude slowly (but at a higher rate). This changes the
check to only consider sinks while on approach as acceptable.

added scaling of control surfaces by throttle when in hover. This helps
