Description

#### Issue details
The heading indicator (circle with cross hashes) is reversed horizontally.

For example when correcting for a left-to-right crosswind, the ground track and heading indicator should be to the right of center. Currently it is left of center, and I believe that is backwards.

#### Version
1.3.56
#### Platform
[X] All
[ ] AntennaTracker
[ ] Copter
[ ] Plane
[ ] Rover
[ ] Sub

#### Airframe type
Traditional Plane

#### Hardware type

#### Logs
Will update if requested.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the heading indicator with a left-to-right crosswind in Mission Planner 1.3.56, then trace the desktop UI code that draws the heading indicator and its ground-track correction. Done means the indicator appears to the right of center for the described correction and remains correct across the supported platforms.
