Icom users, who use the K9JM CI-V router to protect their PW-1
amplifiers from damage due to Icom's broken CI-V protocol handling,
require a 1s delay after opening the serial port. This is due to the
router using an Arduino & Arduino USB adapter that employs a
bootloader which holds the RS-232 interface for 1s after reset (DTR
releases reset). Hamlib already has a retry and timeout mechanism
which was set to 3 and 200ms respectively for most Icom rigs. This
change increses that timeout to 1s. The increaased timeout will have
little or no impact on clients as it only comes into play if there is
a problem.

Notes on Icom backends
2008-03, AA6E: Tested and extended omni.c for Ten-Tec Omni VI and Omni VI Plus
It is now at least "beta" level.
2008-07, AA6E: Tests with IC-756PROIII at ARRL. Added AF, RF, SQL levels, COMP,
BALANCE. Note: communications do not seem completely reliable for baud
rates > 9600.
VOX-related commands are implemented for the '910H but are wrong for
the '756 and other models. They should be reimplemented in a more general way.
2008-10, DL1JBE: Tested IC-275H and IC-475H at local clubstation. Offered functions do work
as expected in most cases. Only problem: Bandwidth in Get_Mode is reported always as 0.
Besides this backend seems to be stable -> Changing State to RIG_STATUS_BETA.
