98732ae4e8 Copter: remove redundant init of controllers when auto is started
individual do_* commands are responsible for setting roll-pitch, yaw and
throttle modes.  Removing this redundant setting of the controllers
removes the short period (10th second max) where loiter and waypoint
controller's desired roll and pitch were used even before the
controllers have been run once.

This stops run-up in target position and nav controller I terms ahead of
throttle being raised

1cfd5900a8 Copter: add support for H-quad frame
H-quads are like X quads but the motors spin in the opposite direction.
Having the motors reversed seems to help with yaw authority because of
the slight flex in bodies

We primarily use sitl now for testing making these unit tests less
important and having large blocks of commented out code that perhaps
doesn't compile anymore makes the code messy

update_commands was being run in the medium_loop counter but it is
