This disables Copter's GCS failsafe by default. This change is being made in response to beta testers' reports that it has been triggering unexpectly or causing pre-arm failures (I've noticed this myself).

I think it is safe to disable the GCS failsafe by default (it was enabled by default in 3.6.x and earlier) because nobody has been relying on it because it was not actually function. It didn't do anything that the regular RC failsafe didn't already do.

FYI to @Pedals2Paddles

No objections - reasonable change - but are the failures legit or are there actual bugs with GCS failsafe?

@peterbarker, txs for the feedback. So far what I've seen, they are all legitimate failures. So for example, the user has a GCS connected temporarily to change some parameters before takeoff but doesn't really intend to rely on it during the flight.
