[Elecraft] KAT500 tune on qsy configuration

[Brian Alsop]

A lot of the need for a tuner here would vanish if the KPA500 could 
handle a 2.5:1 SWR.  Phone->CW band excursions could be tolerated 
without exceeding that limit.   I've looked at the voltages and currents 
involved.  At 500 watts, they don't intractable.

I wonder if the incremental cost would be around the price a KAT500?
Call it a KPA500+.

We thought most of our owners would want that, but I guessed that there might be a good reason for a few users to prefer the old behavior. So I provided a mechanism to turn off the "improvement".
