Proposal to extend the manual_control MAVLink message for extra channels.

Many autonomous vehicles could benefit from the addition of extra control channels for various functions. In addition, many joystick controllers have additional axes that are currently not used.

This provides a generic extension to the manual_control message that developers can use and may be used in a more abstract context from using the RC_OVERRIDE message.

The message contains additional extension fields for joystick axis values normalized between -1000 to 1000 for the channels 5-8

So, more of the same packet? Seems like an easy thing to just make a PR for instead of an rfc.

Just wanted to follow the protocol and I know how deeply the manual_control message is used. I used the </extensions> to be safe.
