Option to automatically extend/shorten safety car #37

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Depending on the track, some safety car periods can end up being too long or too short. This can be remedied manually by admin commands, but should be able to be controlled automatically, too.

Describe the solution you'd like Checkbox options to shorten the safety car (i.e. send a 1 to green command) if all the cars are pacing closely together, and an option to extend the safety car (i.e. send the !y command to delay green) if there are cars still trying to catch up. This could potentially be done just by track position alone; that is, if the gap between each car is short enough, they're considered to be in the pace line. The gotcha here is the automatic extend, as that command should probably only be thrown on the 1 to green lap, and I'm not sure if there's a way to tell for sure when that is if you decide to use the setting to let iRacing control that. But this should be doable, I think, and would save the admin one more thing to worry about.
