By splitting the RC data send and the polling/queued data sending this allows us to limit the packet rate independently of all the other packet data that needs to be sent in a timely manner.
This is particularly useful for the MavLINK serial receiver code where we want to limit the number of RC packets to 250Hz but keep the OTA packet rate at say 1000Hz. This PR does NOT do this, it just enables it by the separation of the code paths.
To limit the RC rate we just need to return an interval from the
sendRCFramefunction in the serial handler rather than the currentDURATION_IMMEDIATELY.
