This optimized implementation takes advantage of the CAT protocol
command to set both frequency and mode at the same time. It also only
needs to switch VFOs once either side of the command.
From Michal:
"I have been playing a lot recently with PSK modes using fldigi. I have
noticed that the yaesu ft-857 backend doesn't distinguish between upper
and lower sideband digital mode (menu item 38). This causes lot of
trouble on bands where USB is used (when QSY button is pressed in
fldigi, or when calculating the real QSO frequency).
With some use of undocumented CAT features and some research I have
put together small patch, that reads EEPROM data. When SW asks hamlib
what mode is being used, hamlib will also consider the
value from eeprom.
When changing the mode in the menu, new value will become available in
the EEPROM _after_ pressing the "FUNC" button.
Setting mode from SW is left untouched, as writing to EEPROM is
potentially dangerous (and I don't feel like destroying my rig, yet)"

ft857-arg-check:
- remove all checks for rig != NULL, these are done by the front end
ft857-squelch:
- add ft857_get_dcd() and ft857_get_level(RIG_LEVEL_SQLSTAT)
- changed S meter calculation a bit
- the rig rejects ft857_set_ptt() if state isn't changed,
handling this might be needed in other set commands as well
- increased read timeout a bit
- tried ft857_set_powerstat(), didn't work...
- minor cosmetic stuff
