this doesn't actually do what it says it does. I think the functionality to set the motors armed was split out long ago but this little method and its misleading comments remained
Stop "latching" calibration checks - if an RC radio's calibration
changes after it passes once, these patches allow the rc calibraiton
checks to then fail.
Further to refactor of RC_Channel class which included
adding get_xx set_xx methods, change reads and writes to the public members
to calls to get and set functionsss
old public member(int16_t) get function -> int16_t set function (int16_t)
(expression where c is an object of type RC_Channel)
c.radio_in c.get_radio_in() c.set_radio_in(v)
c.control_in c.get_control_in() c.set_control_in(v)
c.servo_out c.get_servo_out() c.set_servo_out(v)
c.pwm_out c.get_pwm_out() // use existing
c.radio_out c.get_radio_out() c.set_radio_out(v)
c.radio_max c.get_radio_max() c.set_radio_max(v)
c.radio_min c.get_radio_min() c.set_radio_min(v)
c.radio_trim c.get_radio_trim() c.set_radio_trim(v);
c.min_max_configured() // return true if min and max are configured
Because data members of RC_Channels are now private and so cannot be written directly
some overloads are provided in the Plane classes to provide the old functionality
new overload Plane::stick_mix_channel(RC_Channel *channel)
which forwards to the previously existing
void stick_mix_channel(RC_Channel *channel, int16_t &servo_out);
new overload Plane::channel_output_mixer(Rc_Channel* , RC_Channel*)const
which forwards to
(uint8_t mixing_type, int16_t & chan1, int16_t & chan2)const;
Rename functions
RC_Channel_aux::set_radio_trim(Aux_servo_function_t function)
to RC_Channel_aux::set_trim_to_radio_in_for(Aux_servo_function_t function)
RC_Channel_aux::set_servo_out(Aux_servo_function_t function, int16_t value)
to RC_Channel_aux::set_servo_out_for(Aux_servo_function_t function, int16_t value)
Rationale:
RC_Channel is a complicated class, which combines
several functionalities dealing with stick inputs
in pwm and logical units, logical and actual actuator
outputs, unit conversion etc, etc
The intent of this PR is to clarify existing use of
the class. At the basic level it should now be possible
to grep all places where private variable is set by
searching for the set_xx function.
(The wider purpose is to provide a more generic and
logically simpler method of output mixing. This is a small step)
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.

The PSTR is already define as a NOP for all supported platforms. It's
only needed for AVR so here we remove all the uses throughout the
codebase.
This was automated with a simple python script so it also converts
places which spans to multiple lines, removing the matching parentheses.
AVR-specific places were not changed.
