store operator ID in parameters #135

This PR saves the operatorID and type to the parameters. This information is mostly static.

Benefits:

saves bandwidth as the GCS does not need to stream operatorID data to the flight controller
allows setting the operatorID in parameters without the need to stream this data
in case the connection to GCS would fail, the values in the parameters can be used.

Limitations:

once an operatorID is set, it will be broadcast even if the user does not stream it. The only way to solve this would be to set it to empty value in the parameters.

Makes a lot of sense to me in Europe.
