Thomas Watson 733ddb2b81 SITL: construct multicopter frame dynamically to save RAM
Only one ever exists so there's little reason to construct all
possibilities ahead of time and store them in global RAM. Instead, keep
a list of the parameters and only construct the one requested. Saves
some 60K of RAM on hardware when using sim on hardware.

In particular, enough is saved to get esp32empty copter building again.
But esp32 sim on hardware still does not work due to other regressions.
