Do not warn about unknown parameters on the first pass, i.e. when
AP_Param:load_all() is called. This is because we may still not know
about dynamically loaded parameters. When we call the second (last)
time, we expect to already know all possible parameters, so print a
warning to both console and the debug terminal.
Our track record on keeping parameters up to date with master is not
great and panic()'ing when loading them apparently is not helping
because every and each vehicle has a different file.
On aerofc load_defaults_file() is used in the same way as
load_embedded_param_defaults() is in which the panic() behavior has been
previously removed.
This finishes the removal of the panic param and add warnings to the
debug console when reading the parameters (rather than when counting
them).
This will let EKF go bad if your PixHawk is connected to your laptop.
This doesn't seem to be a problem for the other vehicles.
This also allows the EKF to go bad in-flight if you happen to have
connected (against AP's recommendations) your companion computer to your
flight controller via USB. Since people do this, it is better to have
the checks than not.

Copter: AP_GPS now sets the system time directly
Copter: use AP_RTC for mission delays
Copter: Remove ap_t bits counter (Patrick José Pereira)
Change bits in ap_t to bool and add a static assert
this implements what betaflight calls 'air-mode'. This gives attitude
control when throttle is at zero, allowing for zero-throttle maneuvers,
plus keeping the copter level on the ground.
This was already implemented if an interlock switch was setup, but it
should also work with an arming switch. If using an arming switch then
throttle should not be considered zero as long as the arming switch
hasn't gone low.
