rig-remote should be able to connect to more than one rig at the same time. #24

There are more than one use-case for this feature. As an user I may want to tune more than one frequency at the time:

[ ] I want to listen a full duplex conversation: a full duplex conversation that involves 2 frequencies and potentially two different modes. As an example I may want to listen to airplane<->airport communication.

As an user I may want to use more than one rig for scanning a wide range of frequency:

[ ] the average SDR dongle is able to tune a wide range of frequency. Given a frequency range I may want to use rig-remote to monitor or scan that range splitting it in parts and use one rig for scanning a single part. This would halve the time for a complete scan (with autobookmark) ... or a more effective monitoring.

The above features imply some side-related changes in the tool:

[ ] re-design the bookmarks implementation.see https://github.com/Marzona/rig-remote/issues/26
[ ] The UI needs to be heavily lifted for accommodating the panels for the rig after the first one. see https://github.com/Marzona/rig-remote/issues/27
[ ] we may want to provide also https://github.com/Marzona/rig-remote/issues/28
