Paul Riseborough 5554ad4311 Plane: Fix bug that can cause early exit from loiter to alt and time wp's
The check for the aircraft being lined up for a tangent exit has an early breakout condition if the next waypoint is too close to the loiter circle which can prevent the required ground course to waypoint ever being achieved. This check was using the WP_LOITER_RAD parameter value, not the actual radius being used which can be set differently by the mission plan. If a large value for WP_LOITER_RAD was set and being over-written by the mission plan with a smaller value compatible with the distance to the next waypoint, the aircraft would still exit early.

Andrew Tridgell ac71bbcef4 Plane: fixed TECS state reset in VTOL auto
this fixes a bug where TECS maintains its slow integrator while in a
VTOL hover mode in AUTO or GUIDED.

Among other things this affects PAYLOAD_PLACE and
DO_VTOL_TRANSITION. In those states the height can change while
hovering outside the control of TECS. When TECS regains control in a
fwd transition then can lead to a very large height loss or gain until
the TECS integrator can catch up

Andrew Tridgell b698ef8440 Plane: improved fwd throttle during VTOL landing
this sets up the vwd integrator more reasonably when we are in
POSITION1 stage of VTOL landing. We need to have enough throttle to
cope with a headwind, but want it lower when we are at or above our
target closing speed so can minimise the amount of pitch up

This also makes the landing_desired_closing_velocity() consistent with
the landing speed used in approach, using average of airspeed min and
cruise speed if TECS_LAND_ARSPD is not set

The target airspeed for TECS during airbraking is now set to
ARSPD_FBW_MIN, on the basis we are trying to slow down to min speed,
and we have VTOL support which should prevent a stall.

To cope with a high headwind where ARSPD_FBW_MIN is below the headwind
we now check for too low achieved closing speed and switch to
POSITION1 which can use vfwd to get to the landing location

Andrew Tridgell a0634d8b5b Plane: constrain tilt range for vectored yaw
this prevents a case where we can demand unlimited vectored yaw,
leading to loss of control

this was particularly noticible before the fix in #23023 - if you
armed for a 2nd time in QHOVER after moving the throttle above 10% so
throttle_wait was cleared then the motors would try to tilt fully so
one motor is in fwd flight position. This would cause a prop strike
while on the ground
