jasonshort 09df4b35ea updated and tested the auto-trim mode of the accell offsets. Works great, although it's slow, only .6° a second.

DrZiplok@gmail.com 39b718fce0 Implement the missing AP_Var_group::*serialize functions.
Rather than implementing empty default constructors, make sure that AP_Var and friends have useful default constructors instead.  This works around AP_Meta_class::meta_cast requiring a default constructor without having empty ctors scattered around.

Add accessors to AP_Var so that the global variable list can be traversed and the group/variable relationship comprehended by outsiders.

DrZiplok@gmail.com 30d9a92c4e Implement a pure data serialisation load/save model for AP_Var.
The format is a simple TLV format; a tag identifying the variable, a length for the variable, and then the actual data.  This format could ultimately be extended to include waypoint/commands as well.

This allows us to load and save groups of variables to EEPROM without having to have a static EEPROM map.

Still needs unit tests and (probably) bugfixing.

jasonshort 2b35c91775 Added new leveling command. Hold the trainer swicth - ch7- in and the copter will adjust the ADC_OFFSET based on the roll and pitch command needed to straighten the copter.
no roll and pitch input means no change. Flicking will still update the throttle cruise value. Please check I have the signs correct!!!

DrZiplok 5113a12144 Deal more gracefully with the case where the incoming PPM stream has more than 8 channels encoded.
This makes it possible to move one resistor on the APM board and feed it PPM directly from a receiver emitting a PPM stream.

DrZiplok@gmail.com 52a0a03d56 Bring AP_GPS_Auto closer to ready for prime-time:
- disable NMEA autodetection; false positives are still a risk
 - trim down the console output to a minimum; we still need something to help users diagnose potential problems, but the old output was much too verbose
 - rather than block forever, only do one autodetect pass for each ::read call.  That's still too long (five seconds or so) but better than blocking forever.
 - don't block forever if no GPS is attached.

DrZiplok@gmail.com fdde092213 Extend the logic that preserves buffer sizing on re-begin by also avoiding freeing and re-allocating buffers when they don't change in size.
This can make re-opening a port faster (as the free/malloc pair can be avoided) and possibly more robust (in the case where e.g. the heap has been corrupted).
