This changes the way RC is handled for the Mantis:
- The RC values are re-written when arriving over MAVLink. They are
rescaled from 0..4095 to 1000..2000 and the channel bits added to
separate channels. This makes the downstream handling easier.
- Gimbal pitch is moved from Aux1 to Aux2 as that should be the default.
- Aux3 and Aux4 are used for the photo and video trigger.
- The speed button is used as the FLTMODE channel and set to switch
between POSCTL and ALTCTL.
The limits might somewhat match the sensor, guessed based on the
original driver.
The quality is set so that spikes when sitting on the ground are not
used.
- allow effectiveness matrix to select control allocator method
(desaturation algorithm)
- add actuator_servos publication
- add support for multiple matrices (for vtol)
- add updateSetpoint callback method to actuator effectiveness to allow it
to manipulate the actuator setpoint after allocation
- handle motor stopping & reversal
- add control surfaces & tilt servos
- handle standard vtol + tiltrotor
- rename MC rotors params & class to be more generically usable
- fixes and enables ActuatorEffectivenessRotorsTest
Remove params from airframe configs that are just set again
to the param default value or to the value that is
specified in the mc_default, fw_default or vtol_default.

Using mixers on the IO side had a remote benefit of being able to
override all control surfaces with a radio remote on a fixed wing.
This ended up not being used that much and since the original design
10 years ago (2011) we have been able to convince ourselves that the
overall system stability is at a level where this marginal benefit,
which is not present on multicopters, is not worth the hazzle.
