PHD2 Mount motion status messages blink on and then disappear

"I miss the data at the bottom showing the duration of each correction.  You 
can see something blink very fast, but it is not readable as it was in PHD1." -

I struggled with getting this code into a decent state earlier. I'll take 
another shot at it...

I think I have a decent fix for this. See patch attached.

a) merge the E/W and N/S status messages into a single status message
b) Rather than displaying messages for the duration of the guide pulse, display 
the message for at least 500 ms so you have a chance to see them
c) do not allow queued status messages to back up indefinitely(fixes a bug 
where status messages can get queued faster than they are displayed.)

I will promote this shortly (without the conditional compilation) unless anyone 
has some feedback or prefers the old "blinky" messages.

That is basically what I was going to do if I had found the time.  Go for it.
