Add hex propeller configuration that may be less susceptible to motor failure:

To quote @tuloski -
Basically changing the standard configuration of hexa with alternating propellers rotation PNPNPN, using a configuration PPNNPN can ensure that in 4 failures you keep the controllability, in 2 failures you don't. It is very interesting to implement probably. And btw in the two cases where you don't have full controllability, you can still loose yaw control, but land safely having the thrust, roll and pitch.

This may require come creative coefficient selection to achieve the best results.

The propeller arrangement should be from front right CW, CW, CCW, CW, CCW, CCW
