Lucas De Marchi 20a4a42cb3 AP_Compass: don't store raw and unfiltered fields
These are not used. The only place where raw fields are used are in the
compass calibrator and we don't need to store them.

Additionally remove duplicated documentation about the meaning of the
functions to avoid them getting out of sync.
