Removed Baro Init in Auto Mode.
increased Rate Error limit on Alt Hold
Slightly decreased alt P to reduce pulsing motors
Added rate limit for nav so we can reduce initial pitch to target.
Using MINIMUM_THROTTLE value to test for Reseting Alt Hold now.
Fixed extra Log formatting statement in CTUN.

added separate reset for rate based nav. This allows Wind and throttle Iterms to avoid being cleared when moving between nav modes.

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

space() was actually intended to be tx buffer space, it just had a
bug. The name txspace() is clearer however, and should prevent
confusion as to which buffer its for

this makes mavlink_message_t much smaller, but setting
MAVLINK_MAX_PAYLOAD_LEN to the maximum message size in this
dialect. This saves us 320 bytes of memory

This adds a variable length dummy variable at the front of the EEPROM
when we erase it, which has the effect of moving the location of any
hot variables within the EEPROM. This should improve EEPROM
life. Thanks to Mike for the implementation.

when saving a variable, this avoids EEPROM wear by checking if the
existing value is already the same as the value being written, and
avoiding the write.

We were using && instead of & for a bit check. Thanks to Mike for
spotting this!

This wipes all parameter values, and also clears out any waypoints as
the waypoint format could have changed between firmware revisions.
This also ensures that the AP_Var code can't re-use any key values
from the old EEPROM state, which makes us less dependent on the old
EEPROM being in a good state
