Passing an unsigned value to abs() causes compilation error in gcc 6.1.1
(and doing that doesn't make sense too).
As a bonus, this patch fixes the code, since, for two unsigned integers
a and b, such that a > b, (a - b) without the casting to a signed
integer would produce garbage in the context of this patch. The type
int32_t is enough for the cases covered by this patch.
We actually don't want a flexible array in this union, but rather a way
to access it byte by byte. This fixes the build for gcc >= 6

Instead of a couple seconds, make it about 15sec. This makes TECS happy by not glitching the height demand as much. When applied too fast the TECS height demand causes a large single oscillation as it chases the filter lag.
