Adds documentation for the upcoming Gyro feature.

See work in progress for reference:

Note: I'll keep history linear for now, and squash commits when needed.

Note 2: TK is a placeholder for missing text or images. I'm intentionally not adding it to the spell checker wordlist.

Some EdgeTX transmitters are already equipped with an IMU, it may
be worth being specific about this tutorial to avoid breaking links
if more gyro-related pages were to be created.

The other DIY how-to pages are called following the "Mod" pattern.
The ER6GV image was taken by me.
The Super-P image was taken by Alex Wigen and is used with permission.

- For testing on the bench, you might need to increase the **rate gain multiplier** in order to see the surfaces move! (`2x`)

Since the number of positions is now variable, maybe this could be called "Gyro mode switch map" instead.

I'm already consistently treating gyro mode as a special concept (usually bold) in the copy. (E.g. next heading being "Gyro mode tuning")
