Copter: real-time control quality measurement and display #2768

So similar to the EKF and Vibration reports, it would give a coloured icon on the HUD which tells the user whether the attitude (and perhaps velocity and position) control is working well or not. Click on it and it shows a detailed report of how good the control is on each axis.

It fits in with how we analyse incidents of a vehicle going out of control (i.e. flying away, crashing). The first question is, "was it the attitude/position estimate that went bad, or was it a control problem". The new live EKF report now tells the pilot whether it's an attitude/position issue. What we're missing is the attitude part.

It would also give a more objective view of the quality of a vehicle's tune. Although it would depend upon the conditions and how hard it's being flown.
