Beat Küng 2f72e93d6f fix mixer multicopter: do not clip for max/min throttle
Except for the lower end with disabled airmode.

Otherwise the rate controller would disable the integrals, which can lead
to severe tracking loss in acro.
It is noticeable when flying in FPV, e.g. simply when throttling straight
up.

Relevant part in the rate controller:
