this allows for a timeout on auto-takeoff. This can be combined with
other takeoff parameters to allow the user to abort a hand-launch
after the motor has started without GCS interaction.
The 4m/s threshold is a bit arbitrary. We could make that a parameter
in the future if it is needed
This message does not provide anything useful, but is rather scary to
get moments before launch.
If it's somehow meant to provide useful information, or an action "Timer
interrupted AUTO" should be replaced by something else.
@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.

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.
