Ability to change SvxReflector parameters on runtime

[dl1hrc]

Introduce a new branch "reflector-ptyctrl" following an idea from Jens/DJ1JAY to change some SvxReflector parameters on runtime.
For special cases it would be useful if you could change certain parameters of the SvxReflector at runtime without having to restart it. The pseudo tty interface is an ideal approach in my opinion, not just for this case. Please check if this approach is acceptable when you have a chance, thank you.

I think it makes no sense to continue developing here, since extensions remain uncommented. Pull requests are also not considered and there is no discussion about further extensions. I'm thinking about deleting all my branch and going on to other things. It's a pity, but it probably can't be changed.

Well I don’t know what has happen but svxlink can be branded and we build a new system. I think the last 2 years have made things hard.. I have been patching my own branch and testing… I am also orking on the guy openrepeater to try and get a updated build…. Th only other repeater out there is all start link and its even more out of date

New command structure implemented, similar to the one used in SvxLink server, so to set a config variable use: CFG section tag value. Example: echo CFG GLOBAL SQL_TIMEOUT 500 > /dev/shm/svxreflector-cmd.

Actually any config variable can be set using the CFG command but it's not certain that the reflector will care about it being set at runtime since most config variables are only read at startup. This pull request specifically add support for setting GLOBAL/SQL_TIMEOUT and GLOBAL/SQL_TIMEOUT_BLOCKTIME. It's also possible to set USERS/callsign and PASSWORDS/pwname to a new value, or even add new ones. No changes will be written back to the configuration file though so all changes are only valid until the reflector is restarted.

To see command responses use a command like this for example: socat /dev/shm/svxreflector-ctrl -.
