Paul Riseborough a7b69366a1 Copter: Add flight mode for throw launch
The is commit adds a new flight mode called 'Throw' to Copter that enables the copter to be thrown into the air to start motors. This mode can only be netered when the copters EKF has a valid position estimate and goes through the following states

Throw_Disarmed - The copter is disarmed and motors are off.
Throw_Detecting - The copter is armed, but motors will not spin unless THROW_MOT_START has been set to 1. The copter is waiting to detect the throw. A throw with an upwards velocity of at least 50cm/s is required to trigger the detector.
Throw_Uprighting - The throw has been detected and the copter is being uprighted with 50% throttle to maximise control authority. This state transitions when the copter is within 30 degrees of level.
Throw_HgtStabilise - The copter is kept level and height is stabilised about the target height which is 3m above the height at which the throw release was detected. This state transitions when the height is no more than 0.5m below the demanded height.
Throw_PosHold - The horizontal motion is arrested and the copter is kept at a constant position and height.

Stewart Loving-Gibbard 7cb494d8e2 Copter: Moving to RSSI library for reading various kinds of RSSI, with the possibility of adding more.
* Retains ability to read from Analog Pin
* Adds ability to read RSSI from PWM channel value as is done in OpenLRSng, EazyUHF, and various other LRS.
* Handles any type of RSSI that provides RSSI values inverted - i.e. when the low value is the best signal and the high value is the worst signal.
* Has different key names from all existing RSSI parameters to provide for a clean break and easier distinguishing.
* Existing parameters are marked as obsolete

Gustavo Jose de Sousa 4d4b856735 ArduCopter: standardize inclusion of libaries headers
This commit changes the way libraries headers are included in source files:

 - If the header is in the same directory the source belongs to, so the
 notation '#include ""' is used with the path relative to the directory
 containing the source.

 - If the header is outside the directory containing the source, then we use
 the notation '#include <>' with the path relative to libraries folder.

Some of the advantages of such approach:

 - Only one search path for libraries headers.

 - OSs like Windows may have a better lookup time.
