Changes post 4.0.16

------------------------------------------------------------------------
fldigi 4.0.17.62

   tmpfile
     * tmpfile() on OS X is apparently not thread safe
       remove usage from SoundBase::format_supported(...)
     * this fixes exit hang up on OS X when audio
       capture, or record had been selected

   Serial port discovery
     * Add /dev/rfcomm? blue tooth serial device
       names to serial device list

   Log entries
     * Change mode entry for Olivia, MT63, Thor, Throb to
       include submode.
       - allows correct setting of mode / submode when
         retrieving a logbook entry.

   rx/tx
     * correct action of tx over rx toggle

   Documentation Update
     * Add nanoCW, nanoFSK, Navigator interface.
     * Update macro matrix display (48 macros in 4 rows)

   RTTY Quick pick
     * disable RTTY quick pick if using nanoIO or Navigator

   flarq appdir
     * change test for FL_APPS folder

   WinKey PTT
     * Enable winkey PTT

   CW/FSK I/O on start
     * restore last connect state of Nav / tinyCW / tinyFSK
       when starting program

   Default Lighted Button
     * Allow user to specify the default ON color for all
       lighted buttons not specifically configured.

   ST/PR macro tags
     * Add macro tags for State and Province

   Logbook read
     * Make Rx panel announcement of read user optional

   Navigator
     * Add Navigator terminal unit support for FSK
       - options setting panel

   nanoIO
     * nanoIO is the interface code for the device nanoIO, an Arduino
       project that provide hard line keying of CW and FSK
     * compatible with MORTTY (c)
     * nanoFSK
       - Add interface and support code for nanoIO / tinyFSK Arduino
         FSK keyers
       - Modify waterfall frequency display for transceiver FSK
       - Modify dxcluster qsy operations to provide correct QSY
         for transceiver FSK
       - Add TTY transceiver mode recognition if transceiver mode
         string contains RTTY or FSK
     *nanoCW
       - Add CW support using nanoIO
       - CW WPM 5 to 100
       - CW dash/dot ratio: 2.5 to 3.5

   quick pick rtty baud
     * add 100 Baud

   K2/K3/KX3 data modes
     * Add DATA / DATA-R as FSK type submodes if either tinyFSK,
       Navigator or Right-Channel FSK signaling interface is enabled.

   Modem start frequency
     * Change initialization of modem start up frequency
       - prevent unintended start @ 1000 Hz for every change in mode

   fsq/ifkp audit logs
     * Enable audit log open/close from configuration panel
     * Correct date-time stamp in logs

   RTTY browser decode
     * fix browser decoder sense when transceiver is in LSB
       type mode, i.e. FSK, LSB, LSB-D etc.

   8pskF
      * Fixed bug in 8psk 125F/250F init code
       - Bad constraint length was causing decoder to fail
     * New preamble for 8PSK FEC modes
       - FEC modes preamble is now a continuous tone at center-frequency
       - Gives reference for clicking &  selecting signal on waterfall.
       - Is backwards compatible with  previous-version 8psk preambles
     * Adjusted 8PSK-F modes flush/postamble length much longer
      - Can visually see the inlv flush and postamble "tail" on  waterfall
      - New flust/postamble extends beyond data, to prevent cutoff
     * Code, formatting, and comments cleaned-up for 8PSK code
