APM: switch to Randys new IMU rate control method
...
this drives the speed of the 50Hz loop by the number of samples
accumulated in the IMU. This should give much more consistent timing
in DCM.
Thanks to Randy for introducing this scheme in ArduCopter!

APM: removed the GPS_enabled flag
...
this fixes using GPS_PROTOCOL to specify a specific GPS with a GPS
that takes a few updates before it works (eg. needing baud rate
changes).
This makes it easier to use an APM1-1280 with more features enabled

APM: fixed throttle nudging
...
The nudge value depended on RC3_TRIM, which is not a reliable
value. It tried to only take effect when the throttle stick was above
50%, but if RC3_TRIM was high for some reason (say 1500) then it would
actually depress the throttle by a large amount, which could cause the
plane to stall.
This also adds a boolean option THROTTLE_NUDGE to allow disabling of
throttle nudging

APM: accumulate mag readings during spare cycles in ArduPlane
...
With this change we average over 100 mag readings per compass.read()
call, which means we are reading the compass at over 1kHz instead of
10Hz. The noise reduction is huge.
