Andrew Tridgell 6eaad59115 Plane: improve vectored tailsitter takeoff
this gives extra pitch input when taking off a vectored tailsitter,
allowing the motors to point straight up for easy takeoff

thanks to Leonard for the idea!

Andrew Tridgell b1f1ace736 Plane: support vectored yaw tiltrotors
this adds support for tiltrotors which control yaw by vectoring the
forward motors. This avoids the need for the rear motor on a
tilt-tricopter to have a tilt servo

Andrew Tridgell 642a6acfcb Plane: support thrust vectoring in tailsitters
adds Q_TAILSIT_VHGAIN and Q_TAILSIT_VFGAIN, allowing for thust
vectoring in both fixed wing and hover

Andrew Tridgell c061d5615b Plane: added manual input mask for tailsitter prop-hang
This adds new parameters Q_TAILSIT_MASK and Q_TAILSIT_MASKCH. These
parameters allow a user to use the tailsitter capabilities of a 3D
plane to teach themselves to prop-hang.

It works by allowing the user to setup a switch on their transmitter
to enable manual pass-thru of a set of the input channels to outputs
when in tailsitter hover. The user can then use that switch to allow
learning of hover control in a 3D plane one channel (or two channels)
at a time.

Andrew Tridgell 3bb25eb194 Plane: added Q_TAILSIT_INPUT
this allows the user to control tailsitters either in body frame (like
a plane) or in earth frame (like a multicopter). This is useful for
people wanting to learn to fly prop-hang on 3D planes

Andrew Tridgell 07ab04897d Plane: reset roll/pitch integrators while tailsitter active
this prevents integrator buildup while flying in hover

Andrew Tridgell e8b11924f8 Plane: split out the tailsitter transition complete code
use both roll and pitch to trigger completion of transition. This
copes with situations where the plane has managed to get itself rolled
over far enough that it can't recover into hover
