APM: switch to Randys new IMU rate control method
...
this drives the speed of the 50Hz loop by the number of samples
accumulated in the IMU. This should give much more consistent timing
in DCM.
Thanks to Randy for introducing this scheme in ArduCopter!

APM: fixed throttle nudging
...
The nudge value depended on RC3_TRIM, which is not a reliable
value. It tried to only take effect when the throttle stick was above
50%, but if RC3_TRIM was high for some reason (say 1500) then it would
actually depress the throttle by a large amount, which could cause the
plane to stall.
This also adds a boolean option THROTTLE_NUDGE to allow disabling of
throttle nudging

APM: added the ability to forcibly crash the plane on OBC failsafe breach
...
this allows a user to setup the OBC failsafe system to forcibly crash
the plane (surfaces at limits, zero throttle) when the failsafe system
triggers. This is to allow APM to be used in the Outback Challenge. In
the OBC an external failsafe board also does this using the heartbeat
control pin, so this is an extra safety mechanism.
To prevent users accidentially triggering a crash, this code only
activates if FS_TERM_ACTION is set to to the magic value 42.

APM: added ALT_CTRL_ALG parameter
...
this allows you to select different altitude control algorithms. The
current choices are for the default (automatic based on if airspeed is
available), or to force a non-airspeed algorithm
The idea is to make it possible to use airspeed for some things (like
wind speed, speed scaling) but not for alt control
