OH1KH b23a0400a6 Update for Rotor control ...

First goal was to make same kind of rotortype selector as TRXcontrol has for rig types. After some study it showed up that more work has to be done. Unfortunately the only rotor type for me to test is "Hamlib Dummy" that happens to be different than most of rotor types known by Hamlib.
Most of rotors are 0..360 degree ones, some including Dummy are -180..0..180 degree ones and then there are some that are turning more than one round. Even up to 0..540 degrees
Then in latest verson of Hamlib (4.0-git) there are new parameters for setting offset, south_zero and limits for AzMin and/or AzMax. That makes it hard to get all work with cqrlog that always sends/reads true headings 0..360

I am sure that this needs more fixing after Hamlib 4.0 becomes official release (and they may make some changes still).

At the moment ROT Control should work like it was as default.

	- preferences: selection box for known rotor types (similar to known rig list)
	- preferences: checkbox for "use \dump_caps info" about current Azmin Azmax limits
           This converts -180..0.180 to work with cqrlog and also prevents cqrlog to send
           direction commands that go over AzMin AzMaz values
	- ROT form: user can resize form
	- ROT form: Preferences menu
              user can select additional bar display, turn Left/Right buttons and stop button visible
	      quick access to preferences/ROT control
	- help section ROT added to TRXControl pages
