Joystick Gimbal Up and Gimbal Down button actions should use degrees (not centi-degrees) #11215

As first reported here on the ArduPilot forums, QGC's Joystick Button actions for "Gimbal Up" and "Gimbal Down" seems to be sending MAV_CMD_DO_MOUNT_CONTROL but with the angles specified in centi-degrees instead of degrees.

Thanks to @nexton-winjeel for providing the exact problem which is here. We should at least remove this little "apmFirmware()" section but another solution could be to migrate to the MAV_CMD_DO_GIMBAL_MANAGER_PITCHYAW command.

By the way, I think this "bug" in QGC was originally added because of a bug in ArduPilot. That bug was fixed in Aug 2022 and went out with Copter-4.3. Copter-4.4 is the stable version now and we're getting close to releasing 4.5 so the fix has been out there for a long time now.
