Add support for Alinco DJ-MD5(XT)

[AbortRetryFail]

Yes, another New Device issue!

This radio looks similar to the AnyTone 878UV and friends. http://members.optuszoo.com.au/jason.reilly1/868mods.htm#MD5similarities
Right now qdmr detects it as an unsupported AnyTone model, then crashes. Here's the output from my box:

From what I've read in other issues it looks like USB captures might be needed, so I'll have to see about setting up a Windows box with Wireshark and all that...

I will likely need a capture to figure out how the device identifies itself to the CPS. Once I've got that, I can use an emulator to check for any differences between the codeplugs of the D878UV and DJ-MD5. The latter takes a long time as there are a huge amount of settings in these devices.

A similar undertaking is currently on the way concerning the AT-D578UVIII (see #196) by @BoomerET.

I've got a capture of a sample codeplug being sent to the radio then being retrieved. Want me to send it someplace?
My C++ is terrible, but I'll be happy to try whatever test code on my radio and see what happens. :)

[hmatuschek]

Thanks, just attach it to a comment here if there is nothing secret in the codeplug. Otherwise send it per mail to me.

Here's the test codeplug I used and the resulting USB capture. Sorry about the delay.

[hmatuschek]

Ok, thanks for the capture. With this, I was able to update the emulation script and the CPS now happily writes to it. I'll implement the DJ-MD5X support in the djmd5x branch. There you can also find the emulator (under doc/reveng/alinco/jd-md5x/). This will take some time as there are a huge amount of setting for these devices and I have to check every one of them. Once I know all differences between the the DJ-MD5X and the D878UV, I can implement the support easily.

So, if you want to speedup things, feel free to reverse engineer the codeplug yourself. The documentation of the D878UV codeplug can be found under https://dm3mat.darc.de/qdmr/libdmrconf/classD878UVCodeplug.html. You may also get in contact with @BoomerET, he is working on a similar device, the AT-D578UVIII.
