Pull request in support of #2111
I added support for actuator control in ArduPilot by modifying the set_actuator function from the Action plugin. I added an if statement that uses the MAV_CMD_DO_SET_SERVO command on ArduPilot systems due to the MAV_CMD_DO_SET_ACTUATOR command not being implemented in ArduPilot. PX4 will continue to use MAV_CMD_DO_SET_ACTUATOR as before.
A word on MAV_CMD_DO_SET_ACTUATOR: this command is capable of setting multiple actuator values at once, while MAV_CMD_DO_SET_SERVO only sets one actuator at a time. Since the set_actuator function is only setting one actuator at a time, MAV_CMD_DO_SET_SERVO is a one-to-one substitute of MAV_CMD_DO_SET_ACTUATOR.
