Plane: disable rudder scaling in tailsitters
...
this is most often implemented as dual-motor differential thrust, and
we don't want to do surface speed scaling for that.
In the future we'll move this scaling so it can be done on rudders for
3D planes

waypoint navigation instead of using a loiter circle.

Plane: prevent controller windup on ground
...
when on the ground in an auto-throttle mode lik FBWB or CRUISE, we may
have the throttle suppressed. In that case we should not run the
multicopter controller on quadplanes, or it may build up control which
will then apply on takeoff. This is particularly severe for aircraft
that are not level on the ground, such as taildragger quadplanes
