e6a2940718 Copter: prefix SingleCopter's MOT param description
This should allow single copter's MOT_ parameter descriptions to be more
easily recognised as belonging to SingleCopter when viewed on the wiki's
arducopter-parameters page

7a2f49f7da Copter: arming check for gps if GPS FS set to LAND_EVEN_STABILIZE
Setting the GPS Failsafe to LAND_EVEN_STABILIZE means the copter will
LAND if it loses GPS even if it's in a manual flight mode like
Stabilize.  With this setting it makes sense to check the GPS quality
before arming even if we're in stabilize mode.

bc1e06757b Copter: allow GPS failsafe to trigger AltHold
FS_GPS_ENABLE parameter accepts two new options, 2=AltHold,
3=LandEvenFromStabilize.
If set to 3 the GPS failsafe will trigger and LAND even from manual
flight modes like Stabilize and ACRO.  This is useful for users who want
to ensure their copters can never stray outside the circular fence (the
fence only triggers when it knows it is outside the bounds, and it can't
know this if it has no GPS)

bba7fdc7c3 TradHeli: ch6 tuning of ext gyro to use control_in
This could also be used to control the other Heli Ch7 functions (direct drive tail rotor control).  This should be tidied up.

9ae66c1773 TradHeli: add support for drive tail rotors
Repurposed external gyro and made it multi-funcitonal.
required PWM on Ch8 to start the motor in RSC Mode moved up from 100 to 400. This is to facilitate two-stage switching of the motors with PWM>100 starting the tail motor, and PWM>400 starting the main motor.
