Andrew Tridgell a361a3aebd AP_AnalogSource: make read_average() return a float
this allows it to take advantage of better than 1 bit resolution by
averaging

Andrew Tridgell 2046e396a2 AnalogSource: make the Arduino AnalogSource interrupt driven
this fixes several problems with reading analog sources:

 - we were getting poor values because we didn't wait long enough for
   an analog source to settle

 - we wasted a lot of CPU cycles waiting for conversions

 - we were not taking averages over many samples, which we did with
   the old AP_ADC driver on the APM1

Andrew Tridgell 7c939e83e0 AnalogSource: return a float from read() method
this gives the full resolution when using the ADC backend. It also
adds scaling for the Arduino backend

Pat Hickey 0caf351c32 purple: Added AnalogSource library
this library abstracts out the way of getting an analog value. If the
ADC library is being used then it calls the ADC Ch() method, otherwise
it calls analogRead()
