support for RC_CHANNELS message

[tizianofiorenzani]

I noticed that when the SERIAL_PROTOCOL is set to 2 (Mavlink2), the RC_CHANNELS_RAW is not sent, and RC_CHANNELS takes its place and dronekit cannot read the rc channels anymore.

In the meantime in my script...

`
@vehicle.on_message('RC_CHANNELS')
def listener(vehicle, name, message):
def set_rc(chnum, v):
vehicle._channels._update_channel(str(chnum), v)

        set_rc(1, message.chan1_raw)
        set_rc(2, message.chan2_raw)
        set_rc(3, message.chan3_raw)
        set_rc(4, message.chan4_raw)
        set_rc(5, message.chan5_raw)
        set_rc(6, message.chan6_raw)
        set_rc(7, message.chan7_raw)
        set_rc(8, message.chan8_raw)
        vehicle.notify_attribute_listeners('channels', vehicle.channels)

Thank you very much, this helped me a lot! I did expand for channels 9-16 and it works the same.

@vehicle.on_message('RC_CHANNELS')
def RC_CHANNEL_listener(vehicle, name, message):
	set_rc(1, message.chan1_raw)
	set_rc(2, message.chan2_raw)
	set_rc(3, message.chan3_raw)
	set_rc(4, message.chan4_raw)
	set_rc(5, message.chan5_raw)
	set_rc(6, message.chan6_raw)
	set_rc(7, message.chan7_raw)
	set_rc(8, message.chan8_raw)
	set_rc(9, message.chan9_raw)
	set_rc(10, message.chan10_raw)
	set_rc(11, message.chan11_raw)
	set_rc(12, message.chan12_raw)
	set_rc(13, message.chan13_raw)
	set_rc(14, message.chan14_raw)
	set_rc(15, message.chan15_raw)
	set_rc(16, message.chan16_raw)
	vehicle.notify_attribute_listeners('channels', vehicle.channels)
	
def set_rc(chnum, v):
	vehicle._channels._update_channel(str(chnum), v)
        

print("Now I can read all my RC-channels, here is the value of ch13", vehicle.channels[13])

Thumbs up!

I tried setting serial protocol to 1 and it works, though. I can read the channels
