src/Instrumentation/tcas.*: improved treatment of AI, MP and Swift aircraft.

Browse source 
Change the assumption that velocity < 40kt implies the transponder is off, to
only apply to AI aircraft, because exact information is available for other
(i.e. multiplayer and swift) aircraft.

Add new check for multiplayer/swift aircraft where if the altitude is -9999, we
treat the transponder as off.

With swift and multiplayer aircraft, use the transponder altitude information,
not the sim's internal altitude data for the aircraft.
