Plane: use load factor to limit nav_roll_cd
...
this calculates the aerodymanic load factor from smoothed airspeed and
uses it to limit roll to keep it below the level where the load factor
would take us past the aerodymanic limit of the airframe

Plane: make auto takeoff independent of compass
...
this solves a problem of poor initial yaw due to poor compass offsets
causing a takeoff to not be in the direction the plane is pointing. A
summed gyro is used until the GPS speed is above 5m/s for 2 seconds,
then the GPS heading corrected by the summed gyro error is used for L1
based navigation for the rest of the takeoff

Plane: Report MAV_STATE_ACTIVE if flying, MAV_STATE_STANDBY otherwise
...
(There are also various error states MAV_STATE_CRITICAL that are unchanged
by this check in).
The is_flying() check is similar to the code in suppress_throttle, but
I wanted to make it very optimistic on thinking we are flying - which is
not what you want for set_throttle...
(AC has similar MAV_STATE_ACTIVE vs MAV_STATE_STANDBY behavior now)
