when Q_RTL_MODE=1 in a quadplane use RTL_RADIUS as the distance to
switch to QRTL mode. We navigate to the destination using direct
waypoint navigation instead of using a loiter circle.

Plane: prevent controller windup on ground
...
when on the ground in an auto-throttle mode lik FBWB or CRUISE, we may
have the throttle suppressed. In that case we should not run the
multicopter controller on quadplanes, or it may build up control which
will then apply on takeoff. This is particularly severe for aircraft
that are not level on the ground, such as taildragger quadplanes

this replaces the functionality of the old "with input"
aileron/elevator functions, but in a much more flexible way. It means
that people who want to fly in MANAUL mode will have the ability to
have full control of trims and mixing using transmitter mixers if they
need that functionality
