additional customization options

[swharden]

add a mechanism to customize additional settings and remember GUI state through program restarts:

Config File

• [x] create configuration system to save settings to a config file
• [x] continuously update config file so all GUI options persist through restarts

Customizations

• [x] all current settings (colormap, autograb, intensity, sound card, etc)
• [x] autosave filename
• [x] station information
• [x] frequency offset adjustment
• [x] width (both time span and _time resolution))
• [x] let user customize height (relative to band edges)
• [x] FTP details

I went with an XML format like this

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<ProgramSettings xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
  <Version>1.0</Version>
  <audioDeviceIndex>0</audioDeviceIndex>
  <window>Cosine</window>
  <colormap>Viridis</colormap>
  <dialFrequencyIndex>5</dialFrequencyIndex>
  <brightness>2</brightness>
  <isWsprEnabled>true</isWsprEnabled>
  <wsprLogFilePath>asdf</wsprLogFilePath>

Settings is a huge value-add. I especially like the RX above/below QRSS values....
