flightgear/src/Autopilot/pidcontroller.hxx
Julian Smith 333c790086 src/Autopilot/pidcontroller.* added params for control of startup behaviour.
Added <startup-current> param. Default is false which preserves previous
behaviour where internal state is initialised to zero. Otherwise we initialise
internal state using the current error value, which can reduce oscillations.

Added <startup-its> param, default is zero. For the first <startup-its>
iterations we don't update the output, which can be used to cope with initial
bad data from earlier controllers.

Also refactored the code to hopefully make it clearer and modified debug
logging to output all info in a single statement and on a single line for
clarity.

For example avoid initial oscillations with:

    <pid-controller>
        ..
        <startup-current>true</startup-current>
        ...
    </pid-controller>
