jonny_ji7 d0b3b6fb78 Add timeout to HTTP mode, Change Queue size
- control.cpp: Add feature to HTTP mode, that turns motors off when at least one motor is still on
  but no data was received for more than 3 seconds (e.g. wifi connection
  lost)

- change queue size from 20 to 1 - no need to store multiple joystick
  data since only the latest one is relevant

- add "preset command" to control.hpp to set both motors to IDLE
