this ensures we never block while writing a MAVLink message to a
serial port, by checking the number of available bytes in the serial
transmit buffer and deferring any message that would cause a blocking
write.
This should prevent the main loop from clagging up due to excessive
telemetry data being sent

fixed issue with Nav_WP integrator not being reset
RTL no longer yaws towards home
Circle mode for flying a 10m circle around the point where it was engaged. - Not tested at all! Consider Circle mode as alpha.

removed FBW mode - no longer needed
added set_throttle_cruise_flag to auto set the throttle value for alt hold
added altitude minimum option for waypoints
added support for relative WPs

this fixes the build with HIL_MODE_ATTITUDE and MAVLink enabled. Basic
MAVLink operation works.
