Problem with the true pressure calc in altitude.h #88

I hope this isn't a red herring, but I think I found a problem with the true 
pressure calculation used in for the barometer... see

Hang on, don't do anything yet... this is really strange, still investigating...

Ignore this, it seems there a differing equations based upon which oversampling 
mode you use and the datasheet is wrong.... darn people...

Ted, delete this one completely, my bad, I thought I found and issue, then 
further went on to find that the datasheet was wrong around the formulas 
used.... Ours is still rather unique in that it isn't what other use, but it 
returns the correct values and it's the smallest code space wise... Actually, I 
know were a couple of bytes are to be had, but I'll leave that one alone for 
now and will post separate.... Anyway, sorry for the false alarm...
