and simply run the motors at constant minthrottle. This allowed the chance
for the quad to lose control during flight if the throttle was set to minimum,
say, to drop from a high altitude to a lower one.
With this edit, the quad will still self-level at minimum throttle when armed,
allowing for safe decents from altitude. To prevent motors spinning when
arming/disarming, the yaw input is ignored if the throttle is at minimum and
we're using the sticks to arm/disarm.

# The first commit's message is:
Previously, at minimum throttle, the quad would do absolutely no self-leveling
and simply run the motors at constant minthrottle. This allowed the chance
for the quad to lose control during flight if the throttle was set to minimum,
say, to drop from a high altitude to a lower one.

doesn't use potentially unitialised data to update the motors. Pause
for 50ms before rebooting after updating disabling the motors to ensure
the timer hardware and ESCs havea chance to react.
This commit might help with #123
Each flag was previously a whole byte, now all of the flags only take up
4 bytes as they are represented by bit masks.
This is cleaner because the different kind of flags are now separated.
Additionally this changes the behaviour of arming slightly. When using
a switch to arm the aircraft will not arm unless the switch has been in
the off state once. This prevents arming if you power the aircraft with
a low throttle and the switch in the on position.
