This PR makes the FW attitude controller use EAS (equivalent airspeed) and not IAS (indicated airspeed) for the control input scaling depending on airspeed. The EAS is the calibrated airspeed corrected with a scaling factor to account for sensor error/placement of pitot.
The remaining control modules (TECS, VTOL) already are using EAS instead of IAS. Note that per default EAS=IAS (ASPD_SCALE=1).
