Title: input_rc: failsafe flag and timestamp_published behavior

1) The input_rc message got published only if there were value changes. This behavior prevents flag changes from being propagated to subscribers (similar to problem discussed in issue #579), if no channel value update have been received

2) The input_rc.rc_failsafe flag was logically included in the rc_lost value - every time a rc_failsafe was detected, rc_lost got true. This behavior adds complexity into the subscriber code and masks the nature of the failsafe concept.

Both commits address the problems described in issue #774
