Dominic Clifton d6c1ce323d BUGFIX - Warning LED / arm prevention code fixes.
The old code was using f.ACC_CALIBRATED to mean 'flash the warning led'
and 'prevent arming'
There was another flag called f.OK_TO_ARM which really meant 'prevent
arming after failsafe unless using a switch to arm' - this meant the
comment in the code was incorrect since it did not mention the switch.
There was code which every ~71 minutes would set f.ACC_CALIBRATED to
FALSE and would toggle the LED, even when flying.
There was code that was run during every cycle that did not need to be
run when armed.
There was code that was run during every cycle which did not need to be
run when waiting for calibration to finish.
The warning light was toggled regardless of actual accelerometer
calibration state.

This commit fixes all that and prevents the user from arming after a
failsafe landing until the system is reset, regardless of wether a
switch is used to arm or not.

This commit also flashes the warning led during barometer calibration
and will not let you arm until it has completed.

Add a 5 second delay on startup to failsafe to prevent failsafe from
activating in the case of TX/RX gear with long bind procedures before
they send out valid data.

Failsafe now only prevents re-arming if a landing was forced.

In the case when you power on your RX without your TX on the beeper
sounds and failsafe warning ligts are activated.  When the FC then
detects a signal the lights go off and you can then arm.

Dominic Clifton 032202ef8f BUGFIX - Cleanup failsafe system so it works correctly with Serial RX
systems and Parallel PWM/PPM systems.

Added setting for failsafe_max_usec.  Renamed failsafe_detect_threshold
to failsafe_min_usec.

Failsafe now detects when a PPM/PWM RX isn't sending ANY data out on
CH1-4.  See documentation notes regarding Graupner receivers in
Failsafe.md.

Documented failsafe system.
