[Dx4win] support for the new Kenwood TS-990

Or one could use the same procedure as has been used for years with the
FT-990 and similar rigs by other software:

  RC;   - Clear Clarifier
  MD#;  - Set Mode
  FA#;  - Set Frequency (use "split" frequency)
  AB;   - move frequency/mode to VFO B
  FA#;  - Set VFO A frequency
  FT1;  - enable Split

On the other hand, I do not see any significant differences between
the documented FT-950 and FT-3000 command sets.  Has anyone tried used
using the FT-950 driver/setting or is the FT-950 driver making use of
some undocumented capability and thus likely to fail without notice
after a firmware update?

73,
