integrator windup and prevents too high pitch which can cause a stall

this moves the pitch constraint smoothly between unconstrained and

AP_TECS: remove lag from height demand in landing

AP_TECS: Fix bug causing plane to fly high on landing approach
...
The introduction of the height rate flare logic caused the demanded height rate to be zero except when a flare manouevre was being performed. This caused the plane to lag behind height changes if the D gain was non-zero, which caused it to fly high during landing approach.

AP_TECS : Prevent throttle undershoot after climb
...
If the plane was unable to achieve the climb and got significantly below the internal TECS demanded climb profile, the the PD term would be a large value at the top of climb, and would take some time to reduce due to the rate limiter. This meant that the integrator state could be pushed to a very low value and effectively cause the throttle to sit on the lower limit for longer than desired after levelling out.

AP_TECS : Reduce tendency to overspeed during climbout
...
The old code relies on the action of the integrator to raise the nose above the minimum pitch angle which depending on the model and the tuning can be too slow to correct. Biasing the pitch angle to climbout minimum will reduce the taken before an overspeed condition is corrected.
