Feature Request: Add Channels Setup Page to Config/Tuning tab #2154

Issue details

Request: Editing all CHx_OPT in a compact drop down list.

My thought is that on the Config/tuning page of Mission Planner, there could be a "Aux Channels Setup" page (or similar name) where ALL channels (CH6-14) can be configured via a drop down menu. Maybe it could even be integrated into the flight modes setup screen? It would be even better if the particular channel's drop down cell highlighted when the associated CH on the transmitter is flipped high. Personally, I have to frequently flip between the param list (CHx_OPT) and the Radio calibration page to identify which of my channels are mapped to which switches. Instead of the operator having to associate particular switches with channel numbers, this would allow associating particular switches with particular functions in ardupilot.

I have described this in more detail and even mocked up some tentative/prototype mission planner screens here (please forgive the repeating save trim/auto options, i used MS Paint to mock this up):
