ControlAllocation: update normalization scale only if matrix updated is forced

The forced flag is used to distinguish between updates due to a configuration
(parameter) change (only enabled when disarmed), and matrix updates due to motor
tilt change. Only update the normalization scale if the forced flag is true, and
use a tilt angle of vertical position for it to have the scales tilt-invariant.
