Arducopter.pde : Added Approach mode, added "Toy" mode fun code I'm playing with.
...
Added landing code to make landing happen closer to home loc

Inertial Control
...
I added inertial navigation based on the simulator data. This is an option only available if you compile with Arduino and set
#define INERTIAL_NAV ENABLED
in the APM_Config.h file.
This has been tested for one real flight and did not crash my quad, but consider it very alpha. The quad may be unpredictable at first until the error correction fixes poorly calibrated accels. Be Careful.
Most of the real work is in the inertia file, but the error correction, new variable defines and calibration calls are sprinkled throughout.
The Log should record RAW messages with special debugging values.

ArduCopter: Ensure update_GPS does nothing when gps is disabled.
...
This fixes a bug in which an APM without a GPS would not work because it would constantly scan for a valid GPS long after it should have given up and moved on.

pulling throttle low in flight turns out to be more common than thought. Removed clearing of takeoff_complete flag. This is still cleared during disarm which is automatic after 30 seconds of no throttle.

reversed circle_WP calculation so the next_WP refers to the destination around the circle and circle_WP refers to the center. The intent is to make it easier to see via ground station.

removed unused forward estimator code
placed code for switchover to gps.groundspeed at 1.5m/s
added clamp for D term when below .5m/s to eliminate noise
added hybrid I-term based on speed error and position
changes Loiter D term to use position rather than acceleration to avoid noise
