scripting control of simulator pose
ensures we can recover from inverted flight quickly
when we start the VTOL motor stabilisation with an attitude beyond
normal attitude limits we set a flag to use fixed wing attitude
control (slaving VTOL rate control to fixed wing rate control) until
we have recovered

this avoids an issue with the shaping in the VTOL attitude controller
and also fixes an issue with the VTOL controller bringing the nose
down, which can cause a lot of height loss in quadplanes
we use input_rate_bf_roll_pitch_yaw_no_shaping to avoid input shaping
when slaving the VTOL rate controllers to the fixed wing rate control

this allows for much faster recovery in Q-assist
when we are close to a 180 degree error, go with the last direction if
we are in a 40 degree angle wedge of 180 degree error
during forward transition of tiltrotors we use the VTOL attitude
controller until min airspeed is reached. This fixes the FW rate
controllers to be slaved to the VTOL controller for that time
if we are forcing recovery then don't use yaw control override
this avoids an issue with not pitching up
added Q_ASSIST_OPTIONS for disabling new features
