While charging flight is possible

[bitcraze-issue-importer]

Hi,

I would like to report that in some cases it is possible to (try to) fly while the Crazyflie is charging.

Since the Crazyflie is connected to the charger actual flight is tricky but I don't think it's recommended.

Can we use the power button for that?!

1. Case CF is on, charger connected -> flying possible (actual state)
2. Case CF is off, charger connected -> CF starts in charging mode.
3. Case CF is in charging mode, power button pushed -> Case 1.
4. Case CF is on, charger connected, power button pushed -> CF swicht to charging mode.

This can of course be an issue and best would be to make it configurable. If e.g. wireless charging is added then taking of from the charging station might be wanted. Issue accepted.

Flying while charging is useful for chargers where the CF take off from, for instance the Qi charger.
