Yaw priority mode

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Coming from flying heli's using yaw with a multicopter comes naturally to me 
but it's a struggle for those not used to using their left thumb while flying. 
Have found that a Tx mix can help and be beneficial even with heli experience 
but that the mix can be inconsistent.

First request: a mode where the 'copter yaws in the direction it's travelling, 
i.e. if you bank right have the copter yaw in that direction so that it 
rotates/yaws it's forward side towards the direction it's travelling.

Second request: the 'copter flies to waypoints and to home (RTL) with the 
recognised front of the 'copter always pointing towards the target. Currently 
RTL 'returns to home' with whichever side of the copter is pointing home when 
the switch is activated (terrible for FPV as you're often flying backwards!), 
prefer copter yawing and pointing front side towards home whilst returning.

The first request is a duplicate of item 248 on the arducopter issues list.
     http://code.google.com/p/arducopter/issues/detail?id=248

If you're uploading arducopter from arduino adding this to your APM_Config.h 
will likely make it point towards the next way point for RTL (I think it does 
point towards the next waypoint when doing missions)
# define RTL_YAW YAW_AUTO

Thanks, will try the arduino upload change. Issue 248 very similar, hope 
they're considered.
