TradHeli - allow full range of radio channel 1 & 2 to be used even when only partial range of cyclic servos is allowed #348

In the CLI's setup, heli function (or in the AP_MissionPlanner) users set up 
the range of motion of the helicopter's swash plate in order to stop servo 
binding.

In cases where a small range is set-up (i.e. say only 50% of the possible servo 
travel), the user must also modify their radio channel 1 & 2 end points to 
match this limited range.  If they don't do this, they find the cyclic control 
is overly sensitive and they're only able to use a limited range of the control 
stick.  

We should modify the code so that the full range of values from the radio 
channels 1 & 2 are accepted but then scaled down to move the swash/cyclic 
appropriately.

Malcolm, I'm taking ownership of this.  I have it figured out, just need to 
push it into trunk.
