Adds slew time limiting for throttling up and throttling down to multicopters. New parameters MOT_SLEW_UP_TIME and MOT_SLEW_DN_TIME added. 0 = disabled, no slew limiting. Valid values are 0 to 0.5 seconds. Also reworked functions related to linearization and PWM conversion to make more flexible throughout the code.
Octa-H is like an Quad-X but with each side having two additional motors placed between the front an back motors.
Octa-H is quite different from Quad-H.
AP_MOTORS_x_FRAME definitions moved to motor_frame_type enum
init function and now accepts frame-class and type to perform initial motor setup
set_frame_class_and_type allows real-time changing of motor setup
initialised_ok flag and accessor records whether setup was successful
AC_AttitudeControl now calculates throttle vs attitude control
prioritisation and simply provides overall maximum throttle (aka
throttle_avg) to the motors library
These parameters allow the motor PWM output range to be different from receiver's throttle input range
Also renamed throttle_pass_through to set_throttle_passthrough_for_esc_calibration and change the method's input to the 0 to 1 range instead of direct PWM value
allow vehicle code to compensate for thrust effectiveness changes due
to properties outside the scope of AP_Motors. This allows for
compensation in tiltrotors and tiltwings.
Includes storing motor level thrusts to _thrust_rpyt_out
rename _throttle_thr_mix_desired to _throttle_rpy_mix_desired
rename _throttle_thr_mix to _throttle_rpy_mix
use get_hover_throttle_as_high_end_pct
use throttle_thrust_max updated by multicopter spool logic
do not set limits in stability patch
The problem with using min() and max() is that they conflict with some
C++ headers. Name the macros in uppercase instead. We may go case by
case later converting them to be typesafe.

Surround calls to rcout->write() with rcout->cork() and rcout->push().
If the RCOutput implementation allows the writes are grouped and only
sent together to the underlying hardware.
