Paul Lutus 28986aaf8f IC-746/756, IC-PCR8500 fixes
* The 746 has an APF, wasn't in its configuration, added, tested, works.

* The 756Pro has an ANF function, wasn't in its configuration, added,
tested, works.

* The 756Pro's signal strength conversion table was way wrong.
I noticed this while making scope plots in my program JRX --
the strong signals using the STRENGTH output would all flatten
out at a rather low level, but the RAWSTR output showed the
full range. Changed the conversion table, tested, fixed.

R8500 notes:

The R8500 on/off functions work differently than the other Icoms,
in fact it's not too strong to say that this radio is a breed apart.
Most Icom radios have a group command code for on/off functions (16),
then a code for the function, then a flag for on or off. The R8500
combines the second and third into one, and this required a bit of
recoding in "icom.c". Interestingly, someone had created some special
designators in "icom_defs.h" for the R8500, but then never coded them
to the degree that they worked. Now they work. :)

So the AGC, NB and APF functions all work now.

The R8500 doesn't have a preamp control, so I took that out.

The R8500 does have IF shift and a 3-step attenuater, so I put those in.

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.
