Thrusters firing in wrong direction

- Verify the sign and magnitude of the slopes in
thrusters.yml
- Update
pwm_controller.cpp
to include the intercepts for those slopes. This will get us outside the thrust deadband. - Confirm this works in the test tub before merging a fix.

Thrusters have been recalibrate with the copro. The thrusters were firing in the wrong direction because the vehicle experiences a force in the opposite direction as the thrust - the exact sign convention used for the thrusters was initially unclear. This has now been addressed and taken care of in the thruster controller before it publishes the command/thrust message.
