Add support for handheld transmitter and full utilization for pushbutton #68

Hi this is my first issue post, correct if something should be improved.

Right now we can teach in simple pushbutton or add rocker switch. There is no option to add handheld remote or use more than 2 channels per wall-switch. Would be nice to have all button press combinations utilized to toggle switch items so total of 8 functions could be added: image

With the remote control pushbutton there are more 2 combinations a total of 10: image

So all 10 combinations should be added as universal and user can use the ones that are needed/possible (otr make distinction between wall switch and remote). Maybe it is enough to indicate certain button press as item and as toggle option. There should be an option to change a rocker after teach in into full binding.

I suppose I could solve it with generic binding and writing all 10 combinations to string and then extracting with script but that is much work and many users could not overcome this. It would greatly add utilization of the Enoean switches and save money by adding different options to single switch/remote control.

I really like the design of Eltako TF8-FM -it has 2 PTM transmitters inside so increasing total possible button presses to 20.
