Copter: remove thr check during init_arm_motors
...
This check is redundant now that we have a check within the arm_check()
function.
Removing this check does raise a slight danger that someone could raise
the throttle after arming but before the gyro and baro calibration has
completed but the delay has been greatly shortened from what it once was
so there is much less danger that someone could approach the vehicle
during the short arming delay.

Copter: land check gets overall throttle and rotation rate check
...
add check that overall throttle level is below the non-takeoff throttle
instead of just checking that it's motors have hit their lower limits
because low limits can also be caused by high yaw rotation requests.
Absolute climb rate requirement reduced to 30cm/s

Copter: add short delay to arming to allow RC input
...
The short delay gives time for the RC inputs to be processed which
removes the chance of a false-positive on the "late frame" radio check.
A false positive could lead to an immediate disarm right after arming.

Made more strict by requiring 50 consecutive iterations where the climb
rate is below +- 40cm/s. Previously it was 50 cumulative.
Removed check of failsafe.radio when clearing the land flag because it
could result in the vehicle taking off if the user picked it up.
