FlyPlus: 14-Channel Firmware for FlySky i6

This is an alternative firmware for FlySky i6 transmitters. See below for the list of features added (including the 14 channels support, of course!) and hardware mods supported.

Credits

The firmware is a modification of original FlySky firmware inspired and based on work of @ThomHpl and Dave Borthwick, With use of repository created by @benb0jangles and input from @povlhp. Currently supported and maintained by @qba667 with great input and improvements from @Yenya.

Including input from rcgroups users from the following thread:

The Turnigy TGY-CAT01 support could be implemented by by courtesy of inode_ - thanks for providing of the sensor and huge amount of measurement and analysis made by cookieqk.
