propeller pitch stops for constant speed propellers.  The default
values are the same as the previous hard-coded values.  The new
attributes, "fine-stop" and "coarse-stop", are documented in the base
package, Docs/README.yasim.

limits how far the governor can go in trying

fine-stop: The minimum pitch of the propeller (high RPM) as a
ratio of ideal cruise pitch. This is set to 0.25
by default -- a higher value will result in a
lower RPM at low power settings (e.g. idle, taxi,
and approach).
coarse-stop: The maximum pitch of the propeller (low RPM) as
a ratio of ideal cruise pitch. This is set to
4.0 by default -- a lower value may result in a
higher RPM at high power settings.
gear-ratio: The factor by which the engine RPM is multiplied
to produce the propeller RPM. Optional (defaults
to 1.0).
