ArduPlane: Fix effect of ELEVON_REVERSE
...
* Previously, the ELEVON_REVERSE parameter was equivelant in function to the
ELEVON_CH1_REVERSE parameter. These parameter values are found in
g.reverse_elevons and g.reverse_ch1_elevon, and used to map to the radio_out
channels in ArduPlane/Attitude.pde
* It seems the author's intent was for ELEVON_REVERSE to change the sign for
the combination of pitch & roll into ch1 & ch2, as there are already
parameters which change just the sign of ch1 and just the sign of ch2.
* Discovered this bug because I happened to build an elevon airframe which was
not possible to setup with the existing ELEVON_ and RCn_REV parameters.
* This will break existing elevon setups if the user used ELEVON_REVERSE
instead of ELEVON_CH1_REVERSE, since they were previously interchangable.

setting ARSPD_ENABLE to 1 and ARSPD_USE to 0 allows the airspeed
sensor to be initialised and logged without it being used for flight
control. This is very useful when initially testing an airspeed sensor
in a new plane. It also makes it possible to enable/disable the use of
the airspeed sensor during a flight at any time.

APM: changed hold_course for landing to be based on yaw_sensor
...
when we are in the final stages of a landing (less than 2 seconds from
landing waypoint, or less than 3m above landing altitude) we switch
the navigation to use a fixed course. The code previously used the
crosstrack_bearing for this, but this can lead to a large nav_roll in
this final stage of the approach, which can put a wing into the
runway. In autotest we were seeing a nav_roll value of -45 degrees as
we crossed the transition point for the landing, which often led to a
crash.
This changes the code to use the current yaw_sensor value instead,
which is much less likely to lead to large rolls in the final landing
stages.

when setting airspeed and groundspeed in a mission, don't save to EEPROM
...
If you include airspeed, throttle or groundspeed changes in a mission
then those should not be saved to EEPROM, as otherwise if you restart
and re-fly the mission you will be starting with different parameters
to the ones you used for the first flight.
This is particularly important for setting the target airspeed when
coming in for a landing. You typically set a low target, but if you
fly again the next day I think it would be a real surprise to find
that your loiter airspeed has then changed to the value from the
landing part of your last mission.
This one can be argued either way, but I think that not saving these
changes is the more conservative choice, and better fits the
'principal of least surprise'
