Safety switch parameter (request)

To the developers for the future releases.

I would like to see the parameter in MissinPlanner that configure the time from when I press the safety switch to arm/disarm. Something like SFT_SW_DELAY in milliseconds, range 0-4000.

The reason I want this, because I want to make the hardware device, some kind of smart electronic switch and by the only one button I want to turn ON/OFF the power and also to control the arming/disarming of the Pixhawk. To turn ON/OFF the power - to press and hold for 2 seconds. And to arm/disarm - to press twice, like in iPhone Home button. So to get the ability to arm/disarm immediately after double pressed button it should be no delay in the Pixhawk.

I presume this not heavy challenge, so I am unobtrusively asking to implement this. It will make the system more flexible.
