Changed waypoint list file format (old files are not compatible anymore!), added file version check, now all waypoint entries should have an entry in the waypoint list file - although qgc does not use/read the orbit_direction and param1 fields. QGC writes the value of orbit into param1 and 0 to orbit_direction (this should and will be changed later!)
