Only set the RFXtrx mode at startup if needed. #13

Currently the mode is set at startup, but a response from the STATUS packet will tell us if this is needed as it will show the protocols that are enabled.

Issue #7 is also related here, but a slightly different problem.

One point to note about how the MODE works within the RFXtrx.

When setting the mode for the RFXtrx it is reset each time the device is unplugged unless the save command is also sent. At the moment we just set the move on startup but never save it. This could be changed, I went for the simplest option that allowed us to easily change the mode. Eventually it would be better to have an easier way to enable and disable protocols without having to edit a bytearray :)
