Tom Pittenger 6746b4227a Plane: handle large negative baro offsets (corner case) to self-trigger a land-abort go-around 
new param: LAND_ABORT_DEG
@Description: This parameter is used when using a rangefinder during landing for altitude correction from baro drift (RNGFND_LANDING=1) and the altitude correction indicates your altitude is higher than the intended slope path. Steeper slopes can result in crashes so this allows the option to remember the baro offset and self-abort the landing and come around for a another landing with the correct baro offset applied for a perfect slope. An auto-abort go-around will only happen once, next attempt will not auto-abort again. This operation happens entirely automatically in AUTO mode. This value is the delta degrees threshold to trigger the go-around. Example: if set to 5 deg and the mission planned slope is 15 deg then if the new slope is 21 then it will go-around. Set to 0 to disable. Requires LAND_SLOPE_RCALC > 0.

Tom Pittenger 034cd2413e Plane: re-calc landing glide slope to gracefully handle baro offset during long flights 
New param: LAND_SLOPE_RCALC
@Description: This parameter is used when using a rangefinder during landing for altitude correction from baro drift (RNGFND_LANDING=1) and the altitude correction indicates your altitude is lower than the intended slope path. This value is the threshold of the correction to re-calculate the landing approach slope. Set to zero to keep the original slope all the way down and any detected baro drift will be corrected by pitching/throttling up to snap back to resume the original slope path. Otherwise, when a rangefinder altitude correction exceeds this threshold it will trigger a slope re-calculate to give a shallower slope. This also smoothes out the approach when flying over objects such as trees. Recommend a value of 2m.

default value is 2 (so, enabled by default)

skyscraper 7f29903287 ArduPlane: Fix up after refactoring RC_Channel class 
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)

Lucas De Marchi fea084a596 Global: use ap_version.h 
This header is used by waf to contain the generated version macros,
particularly using the git hash. For waf it's better to be in a separate
header since it then can keep track of changes on it a trigger
recompilation.

For the make build system, a dummy ap_version.h file has been added in
the missing/ folder so both implementations can co-exist.

Lucas De Marchi baa287e5e5 ArduPlane: use separate header for version macro 
Having the version macro in the config.h and consequently in the main
vehicle header means that whenever the version changes we need to
compiler the whole vehicle again. This would not be so bad if we weren't
also appending the git hash in the version. In this case, whenever we
commit to the repository we would need to recompile everything.

Move to a separate header that is include only by its users. Then
instead of compiling everything we will compile just a few files.

James Stoyell 4e7e84fc99 Plane: Modified last_valid_rc_ms AFS failsafe input to work when standard failsafe is on 
Ran into a bug on our physical plane where failsafe.last_valid_rc_ms was not recognizing that the transmitter had failed. This is likely due to how the standard failsafe works in receiving lower-than-possible throttle values. So in order to account for this, I added a new variable to the failsafe, AFS_last_valid_rc_ms, and I update it only if the ch3_failsafe (the throttle failsafe) is not on. If the throttle failsafe is on, that means that the plane has indeed lost transmitter input, so the AFS needs to recognize that.

Tom Pittenger 2ba9a04bf5 Plane: smooth-out the end of takeoff pitch by reducing takeoff pitch min via TKOFF_PLIM_SEC 
@Description: This parameter reduces the pitch minimum limit of an auto-takeoff just a few seconds before it reaches the target altitude. This reduces overshoot by allowing the flight controller to start leveling off a few seconds before reaching the target height. When set to zero, the mission pitch min is enforced all the way to and through the target altitude, otherwise the pitch min slowly reduces to zero in the final segment. This is the pitch_min, not the demand. The flight controller should still be commanding to gain altitude to finish the takeoff but with this param it is not forcing it higher than it wants to be.

Grant Morphett 2887e48178 Plane: Fixed bug with landing flare for high values of LAND_FLARE_SEC 
I had an issue in SITL where my plane would round the last WP staring
its landing approach and immediately limit the roll to 5degress even
before the plane had finished turning the corner so it would go WAY
off course.  For a high value of LAND_FLARE_SEC (mine was 5) the math
works out the plane has landed if
    height <= sink_rate * land_flare_sec
During the banking of the last corner the plane started to decend and
quickly set itself up for a 6.1m/s sink rate which is normal.  It was
at 30 meters altitude.  As you can see at this point the math thinks
the plane has landed so limits the roll.  The solution was to ensure
the plane had covered at least 50% of the distance toward the final
waypoint before allowing a flare to happen.  Note that LAND_FLARE_SEC
above 2 is considered very high and this normally wouldn't occur.

Gustavo Jose de Sousa a4c099feaa waf: create program groups for main products 
Currently we need to build a different binary for each type of copter frame.
This is a preparation for setting all those binaries to a group called

Tom Pittenger c837fbca2f Plane: 3/3 new param TECS_LAND_SRC for Land Sink Rate Change 
// @Description: When zero, the flare sink rate (TECS_LAND_SINK) is a fixed sink demand. With this enabled the flare sinkrate will increase/decrease the flare sink demand as you get further beyond the LAND waypoint. Has no effect before the waypoint. This value is added to TECS_LAND_SINK proportional to distance traveled after wp. With an increasing sink rate you can still land in a given distance if you're traveling too fast and cruise passed the land point. A positive value will force the plane to land sooner proportional to distance passed land point. A negative number will tell the plane to slowly climb allowing for a pitched-up stall landing. Recommend 0.2 as initial value.

Tom Pittenger 2e92089ce6 Plane: Reverse Thrust 
Reverse thrust for controlled landings, even with much steeper approach slopes. This is achieved by allowing throttle demand to go negative to maintain a target airspeed. A Pre-Flare stage was added, triggered by an altitude, to allow for a slower airspeed just before land. That lower airspeed can be near stall.

Gustavo Jose de Sousa 17e5d99509 waf: allow partial builds with new mavlink as submodule 
The task generator for the mavlink headers is given a name 'mavlink' and is
added as a dependency to all local static libraries, because all of them use
sources that include mavlink headers. It would be nice to have a good way to
detect sources that use mavlink headers or to declare list of libraries that
use the headers, so that the dependency could be added automatically.

Additionally, there's a minor change in syntax for the task generator: using
strings directly instead of lists.
