Description
The LOITER_TIME command should support sending a custom loiter radius in parameter 3 similar to LOITER_TURNS and LOITER_UNLIMITED. Currently, it always defaults to `WP_LOITER_RAD`.
The documentation should also be more clear about this feature. These two statements are currently contradicting each other:
**Platform**
[ ] All
[ ] AntennaTracker
[ ] Copter
[x] Plane
[ ] Rover
[ ] Submarine

Research direction
Start by locating Plane's LOITER_TIME command handling and compare its parameter-3 behavior with LOITER_TURNS and LOITER_UNLIMITED. Then find the command documentation containing the two contradictory statements. Done means LOITER_TIME accepts a custom loiter radius like the related commands and the documentation describes that behavior consistently.
