Add Debian package files to enable local builds

On some custom systems it is not possible to instal mavproxy via pip (or
similar mechanism). By having such files the user can easily build and
install mavproxy into a system (or build container) just in two commands
immediatelly after clone:
  dpkg-buildpackage -b -us -uc
  dpkg -i ../python3-mavproxy_*_amd64.deb
If there are some unmet deps, just run
  apt-get -f install

+Description: A MAVLink protocol proxy and ground station. MAVProxy
+ is oriented towards command line operation, and is suitable for embedding in
+ small autonomous vehicles or for using on ground control stations. It also
+ features a number of graphical tools such as a slipmap for satellite mapping
+ view of the vehicles location, and status console and several useful vehicle
+ control modules. MAVProxy is extensible via a modules system - see the modules
+ subdirectory for some example modules. MAVProxy was developed by CanberraUAV
+ for use in the 2012 Outback Challenge, and includes a module for the
+ CanberraUAV search and rescue system.
+ .
+ See https://ardupilot.org/mavproxy/index.html for more information on how
+ to use MAVProxy.
