ability to go beyond RC limits, but that can be coped with using

Plane: implement MANUAL_RCMASK

this replaces the functionality of the old "with input"
aileron/elevator functions, but in a much more flexible way. It means
that people who want to fly in MANAUL mode will have the ability to
have full control of trims and mixing using transmitter mixers if they
need that functionality

L1_Control: Ensure that LIM_BANK passes a sea level sanity check
...
This fixes #6637 where the LIM_BANK can be set such that the vehicle demands a radius at sea level that is much higher then the loiter radius was configured to be. This effectively feels like a fly away and is due to bad parameters usually. If this happens just fall back to the simple EAS2TAS scaling of the radius.
