adding the hitechnic gyro sensor to sensors.py

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I have attached a patch that provides the methods for the hitechnic
gyro sensor. I haven't had time to add the calibration function yet but I
hope to do that in a couple days. 

this is the description included in the class header

#This class is for the hitechnic gryo accelerometer. When the gryo is
#not moving there will be a constant offset that will change with
#temperature and other ambient factors. It might be appropriate to
#write a calibration function to account for this offset.
#
#TODO:calibration

 the super of the Gyro function is not correct ..

    def __init__(self, brick, port):
-       super(GyroSensor, self).__init__(brick, port)
+       super(Gyro, self).__init__(brick, port)
        self.set_input_mode(Type.ANGLE, Mode.RAW)
        self.offset = 0

Possibly fixed in r144; please test again and see if it works correctly now.
