Fixes compatibility for APM2. Also a significant update to the battery monitoring code: We previously had monitoring modes for individual cell voltages for 3 and 4 cell lipos. These have been removed as they were never really supported (the cell voltages were computed but were not reported or recorded anywhere). Also, some clean-up/prep work was done for supporting monitoring 2 separate battery packs. The CLI battery and current monitoring tests were consolidated into 1 test.
changed
* Major change: Log.pde Log_Write_Control_Tuning has changed significantly
* MS5611 has no concept of RawPres and _offset_press
* Log the get_pressure() instead. (If we don't trust the barometer, what's the point?)
the problem was that with APM2 we may not have a 2nd GCS instance. The
"gps alt: xxx" message was being unconditionally sent to both GCS
instances, which caused a crash
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

we don't send MSG_LOCATION in HIL mode during GPS updates, as we don't
call the GPS update routines, so we need to send MSG_LOCATION as part
of the Position stream

Fixed Mavlink issue
Added look at home option for SIMPLE mode. Off be default. Untested.
Upped performance of Yaw.

Fixed GCS updates,
Clear GCS Streamrates by default.
moved fast PWM functions to run all the time (for quads, experiment)
cleaned up Mavlink a bit.

Includes updated motor tests. These need to be verified.
Nav loiter D was added (.03) - verify this helps.
Nav_lat is now filtered for Rate control. This is to keep jerky pitching to a minimum.
