david b0c1fb7755 Added acceleration error to compass (most obvious during heavy braking
on the ground) -- this is based on some wild guesses, but it seems
reasonable for now.

The next step will be to give the compass some angular momentum so
that it does not snap instantly to a heading, and so that it can
overshoot a heading and oscillate.
