adjustable RC & AUX channel counts, increased rssi_aux_channel limit

[csurf]

added two new CLI var's for controlling the number of RC & AUX channels that are processed by the RC-handling code routines, 'rc_channel_count' and 'rc_aux_count'.

'rc_channel_count' sets the number of channels that are processed by the RC handling code & stored in the raw RC channel data array (based on the internal channel mapping scheme). range is (8...18), default is '8'.

'rc_aux_count' sets the number of channels that are processed by the AUX-handling code for dealing with flight mode switches. range is (4...8), default is '4'. NOTE: this must be set in accordance with 'rc_channel_count' value. Obviously, flight mode settings for any AUX channel '5&above' would need to be configured manually via the CLI, seeing as configurator only supports 4 AUX channels.

• nothing will break if these values are ignored, as the defaults will maintain the existing behavior. It gives the user the ability to increase the amount of raw RC channels that can be accessed & utilized within BF. Tested & verified to work with 16CH PPM. Code would need to be adjusted & tested tested for the serial RC interfaces.

'rssi_aux_channel' range was expanded to allow for selection for a high AUX channel number, yet keeping it <= the 18 channel maximum.
