ArduCopter: RTL clean-up and slightly improved landing sensor
...
Consolidated RTL state to be captured by rtl_state variable.
Combined update_RTL_Nav and verify_RTL functions which performed the same function but one was for missions, the other for the RTL flight mode.
Renamed some RTL parameters and global variables to have RTL at the front.
Landing detector now checks accel-throttle's I term and/or a very low throttle value

ArduCopter: first merge of leonard's accel based altitude controller plus other changes from Randy
...
Changes include:
New low-level get_throttle_accel function takes target acceleration and compares vs earth-frame Z accelerometer values to produce output to motors.
Higher level throttle controllers modified to call new get_throttle_accel controller
Throttle_rate_stabilized controller added which maintains a desired climb/descent rate
Throttle_land controller added - descends using normal auto throttle controller to 10m then descends at 50cm/s
Multiple throttle modes added including landing mode
Land flight mode no longer needs GPS
Throttle cruise maintenance moved to update_throttle_cruise function

Remove Rate I-term reset when throttle stick is on the bottom. This could be very bad for helis since it's plausible to use full downstick while flying.
There is obviously a risk here of building up a false I-term on the ground but this isn't a good solution for that anyway.
Also removed what appears to be some deadwood.
