Before #14212 the velocity control gains used in the multicopter
position controller were defined as a scale between velocity error in
one axis (or it's integral and derivative respectively) and the unit
thrust vector. The problem with this is that the normalization of the
unit thrust vector changes per vehicle or even vehicle configuration
as 0 and 100% thrust get a different physical response. That's why
the gains are now defined as scale between velocity error
(integral/derivative) and the output acceleration in m/s².
A side-effect of the previous commit is that the integral is loaded up
during a flip, which leads to visible bounce-backs after a flip.
Reducing the I helps, but there's a trade-off and we'll need a better
solution.
