AP_Proximity: add parameter to allow user to specify maximum reliable distance #13612

Unlike the rangefinder library, the proximity library does not have a user configurable maximum distance. We should add parameters for minimum and maximum reliable distances.

Here are some options for the names of these new parameters:

PRX_DIST_MAX, PRX_DIST_MIN (this is probably my favourite, these distances would be in meters)
PRX_MAX, PRX_MIN
PRX_MAX_CM, PRX_MIN_CM (consistent with AP_RangeFinder's parameter names)
