fixed runtime error with a typedef:
QObject::connect: Cannot queue arguments of type
'QSerialPort::SerialPortError'
(Make sure 'QSerialPort::SerialPortError' is registered using
qRegisterMetaType().)

Checkpoint: RC calibration much better / operation, can use UI tweaks. Airframe config in, but not operational and still very functional / ugly.

when param widget is loaded we only want to re-request the whole param list if we don't already have one

still some remaining issues with pending line items bouncing back from
data model

fix pending items indicator

reduce serial link logging; clear transmit buffer on disconnect
