queries. This also fixes some issues with the carrier and the croaser
altitude values that is used when no hit is found.
Include some ifdefed out debugging code, that might be interresting.

This patch introduces the optional elements
<config>
<spin-thresh>0.8</spin-thresh>
<max-roll-error-deg>40</max-roll-error-deg>
<max-pitch-error-deg>12</max-pitch-error-deg>
</config>
under the corresponding /instrumentation/attitude-indicator element.
The values are initialized to the shown default values if omitted.
These are the values of the former hardcoded constants.
The current code still has some rough edges, in particular memory still
needs to be deallocated where possible, and the actual use of the code
needs more testing. This code has been running without noticable problems,
so I think it's ready for some wider exposure. Detailed changes include:
- Finetuning of the SID/STAR data concept.
- Preloading of all SIDs, from one xml file.
- ATC determines which SID should be used and echoes this over the com1 or
com2 radio.
Again, the previous commit did not complete for some reason.

experimental: Only one SID per runway is supported, and the waypoints are
read from file at every request, which is not very efficient. The current
code is only executed when FlightGear is configured to use airport dynamics
data from the scenery repository, instead of the base package. Since the
latter is still the default, I believe that this will provide enough safe-
guarding to commit SID/STAR support in small, incremental steps.
Next step will be buffering and support for multiple departure routes per
runway.
Background are problems modeling the rotax 912 engine. The idle speed
of the real engine is about half of the speed I could achieve with the
default minimum manifold pressure. While on ground I can switch off
the engine by pulling the throttle. The audible difference between the
different minimum idle speed (real vs. simulated) is extreme. With the
patch I get quite realistic sound. For the rotax engine I use
min-throttle="0.05" which is half of the former default value.
