Previously if set_mode failed it would return the copter to stabilize
mode. With this commit set_mode returns a true/false indicating whether
it succeeded or not so the caller can make the decision as to the
appropriate response which could be to stay in the current flight mode
or try another flight mode.
This effectively means that an RTL kicked off by a failsafe will
immediately switch to LAND mode only if within 2 meters. Previously the
radius was much wider (15m).
Failsafe events changed to errors so they are more obvious.
Errors recorded to dataflash for failure to init compass and optical flow sensor.
Errors recorded for pwm failure.
Resolved a compile error when dataflash logging is disabled.
Switch to LAND flight mode if throttle failsafe triggers and we do not have a GPS.
THR_FAILSAFE renamed to FS_THR_ENABLE.
THR_FS_VALUE renamed to FS_THR_VALUE.
THR_FS_ACTION removed (action is now controlled by setting FS_THR parameter).
resolves momentary throttle drop to zero before failsafe engages
resolves motor cut after 30seconds if flying in stabilize without GPS (now switches to ALT_HOLD with target altitude zero)
disables motors if throttle was zero before failsafe event
Merged CopterLEDS and Piezo functions to eliminate pin conflict on APM2. Created new Parameter bit to turn piezo function on and off from MP. Moved GPS and Aux pin assignments to allow commonality between APM1 and 2. Set LED_Mode parameter default to 9 in order to make CopterLEDS completely backwards compatible with old Motor LEDS and Piezo code. Legacy users should see no difference.
added separate reset for rate based nav. This allows Wind and throttle Iterms to avoid being cleared when moving between nav modes.

moved ground start to first arming
added ground start flag
moved throttle_integrator to 50hz loop
CAMERA_STABILIZER deprecated - now always on
renamed current logging bit mask to match APM
added MA filter to PID - D term
Adjusted PIDs based on continued testing and new PID filter
added MASK_LOG_SET_DEFAULTS to match APM
moved some stuff out of ground start into system start where it belonged
Added slower Yaw gains for DCM when the copter is in the air
changed camera output to be none scaled PWM
fixed bug where ground_temperature was unfiltered
shortened Baro startup time
fixed issue with Nav_WP integrator not being reset
RTL no longer yaws towards home
Circle mode for flying a 10m circle around the point where it was engaged. - Not tested at all! Consider Circle mode as alpha.

turned off altitude interpolation for now.
removed the "Dampener" setting in config. Using less confusing kD instead.
removed throttle_cruise reset in events.pde for RTL - would cause a crash.
added I term for pitch/roll for when flying greater than 20°
