mc_att_control: prepare yaw weight from gain ratio

According to the paper the quaternion controller is built on
the yaw weight represents the ratio between the roll/pitch and
the yaw attitude control time constant. It also states that as a
thumb rule a value of ~0.4 works alright for most multicopter
platforms. The default attitude gains of PX4 which were determined
independent of the paper from experimental results have a ratio of
2.8/6.5 = 0.43 which matches.
