So here is the first release of the new IC-R8600 rig backend.
Implemented functions so far:
set/get freq
set/get mode
functions: NB TSQL ANF NR AIP MN LOCK VSC RESUME
level: PREAMP ATT AF RF SQL NR PBT_IN PBT_OUT CWPITCH AGC RAWSTR STRENGTH
extra levels (params): ANN BACKLIGHT KEYLIGHT
Mode list: AM CW USB LSB RTTY FM WFM CWR RTTYR SAM SAL SAH
Next up:
* correct filter settings
* new digital modes
* memory store/retrieve
* correct CTCSS, DTCS handling
* correct BEEP handling (broken)

I have an potential initial release of a backend for iOptron alt-az mounts.
I have tested it and it appears to work well both from the command line and
driven by Gpredict with my iEQ45Pro. I ran the source through astyle and I
think that it's OK. Compiling and testing was done under Unbuntu 18.

* Added new rotor module (18) for Meade telescope rotors
* Implemented all needed rotor functions
* Added README.md
* Tested with DS-2000 Rotor with Autostar 494 and 506 serial cable
* Tested on Linux (Debian) with rotctl and gpredict
This flag can be used by back ends that need to take special action
while the rig is transmitting e.g. the FT-747GX and similar that do
not process CAT commands while transmitting.
The flag is also used as a default answer to rig_get_ptt if nothing
better is available.
Deal with inaccurate CAT query for Rx/Tx on the Yaesu FT-847
This rig doesn't set the Rx/Tx status flag when PTT is asserted via
the PTT pin on the rear PACKET socket so we need to override which we
can do if we known we have asserted PTT via rig_set_ptt().
Adjust style and fix set PTT defects
Fix a warning from a declaration of a deleted function definition
Add driver for SPID MD-01 and MD-02 in ROT2 mode. The MD-01 and MD-02
extend the command set from the original ROT2PROG and deviate slightly
from the original protocol on the set_position command.
This change allows the set_mode functions to leave the rig passband
unchanged if required. For the few rigs that do not have explcit
passband width control either current state is read and rewritten or a
"normal" width is chosen e.g. select a normal width when there is a
choice like CW and CW-NARROW.
