Many improvements to decode double click and auoto-sequencing behaviour

Double-clicks on 73 messages fixed.  Fixed issue with incorrect decode
being  selected  by  double-click. Refined  auto-sequencing  sign  off
handling, any 73 or rr73 free text  near Rx or Tx frequency taken as a
73 from QSO  partner but if a  standard message then must  be from QSO
partner.

Moved functionality from MainWindow to DecodedText class.

More  efficient  picking of  messages  from  decoded text  windows  by
extracting the text block directly.

Tighten up  use of RR73 and  skipping Tx1, these are  now disabled for
relevant compound calls where they would break the QSO exchange.
