AP_InertialSensor: use accelerometers to prevent bad gyro cal

Browse Source 
if the board is rotating at a steady rate we can end up with a bad
gyro calibration. This can happen on a steadily moving platform such
as a ship.

This uses the accelerometers to detect the steady movement and not
accept the gyro calibration
