TECS: in airspeed-less mode, set airspeed estimate to cruise airspeed

In airspeed-less mode, instead of the average of min/max airspeed, take the cruise
airspeed (from param) for current airspeed estimate. A diff of the airspeed setpoint
from this value results in increased enegery demand (incerase of throttle) even
in airspeed-less mode.
