It scales the yawspeed setpoint arbitrarily by default with 0.5.
This makes no sense because when you give a setpoint of 1rad/s then
you expect the setpoint to get executed. If you want manual yawspeed
response to be less agressive on the stick use the scaling parameter
for the stick MPC_MAN_Y_MAX.
Because the parameter does not make sense from a control theory
perspective. Either you have a gain with the unit 1/s or an inverse
gain or time constant with the unit s. But the time constant parameter
was neither bound to any exact unit nor did it apply instead of a gain.
Rather it adjusted multiple gains from rate and attitude control
according to an arbitrary scale. This can only by accident lead to
good tuning.
