altos: Add separate 'ao_launch_tick'. Use in pyro and lockout.
Prior to this, there was only ao_boost_tick, which got reset at each motor burn start. That meant there wasn't any way to measure total flight time for pyro channels and 'apogee lockout' was based on time since most recent motor start instead of total flight time. Now pyro channels and apogee lockout both use total flight time, while motor burn length still uses time since most recent motor burn start (as it should). Docs and UI updated to use 'launch' instead of 'boost' to try and make the change clear. Signed-off-by: Keith Packard <keithp@keithp.com>
