This message now has the ability to simply change the free text
message or to change the message and send it ASAP.
The message_aggregator reference UDP server application exercises this
feature by sending a new free text message on any edit and requesting
it be sent by WSJT-X when editing is finished i,e, RETURN pressed or
focus moved away.

By providing safe defaults for expected input fields that are not
present in messages from older version senders, it is now possible to
mix versions of clients and servers. This relies on fields never
changing meaning or content, new fields may be safely added to the end
of existing messages.
Merged from the wsjtx-1.5 branch.

The reply can now be used to turn off auto Tx or to halt Tx
immediately. Also enforced the accept UDP requests setting for halt Tx
and set free text message replies.
Merged from the wsjtx-1.5 branch.

Also added Tx status to status UDP message.
Added the above features to the reference UDP server
message_aggregator.
Merged from the wsjtx-1.5 branch.

Apple Clang++ doesn't seem cope with the necessary hash template class
specializations. So have degraded to Qt QHash.

To facilitate interaction with other applications WSJT-X now sends
status updates to a predefined UDP server or multicast group
address. The status updates include the information currently posted
to the decodes.txt and wsjtx_status.txt files. An optional back
communications channel is also implemented allowing the UDP server
application to control some basic actions in WSJT-X.
A reference implementaion of a typical UDP server written in C++ using
Qt is provided to demonstrate these facilities. This application is
not intended as a user tool but only as an example of how a third
party application may interact with WSJT-X.
The UDP messages Use QDataStream based serialization. Messages are
documented in NetworkMessage.hpp along with some helper classes that
simplify the building and decoding of messages.
Two message handling classes are introduced, MessageClient and
MessageServer. WSJT-X uses the MessageClient class to manage outgoing
and incoming UDP messages that allow communication with other
applications. The MessageServer class implements the kind of code
that a potential cooperating application might use. Although these
classes use Qt serialization facilities, the message formats are
easily read and written by applications that do not use the Qt
framework.
MessageAggregator is a demonstration application that uses
MessageServer and presents a GUI that displays messages from one or
more WSJT-X instances and allows sending back a CQ or QRZ reply
invocation by double clicking a decode. This application is not
intended as a user facing tool but rather as a demonstration of the
WSJT-X UDP messaging facility. It also demonstrates being a multicast
UDP server by allowing multiple instances to run concurrently. This is
enabled by using an appropriate multicast group address as the server
address. Cooperating applications need not implement multicast
techniques but it is recomended otherwise only a single appliaction
can act as a broadcast message (from WSJT-X) recipient.
