[chirp_devel] [PATCH][UV-5R] Add VFO Frequency Presets to Work Mode Tab [#467]

All,

I gave up on using the RadioSettingValueFloat(RadioSettingValue) feature.
So none of that code supplied by Dan has been included.

Being able to enter a floating point frequency looked nice but even after
quite a bit of research, I wasn't able to overcome the floating point to
binary conversion error (setting a frequency of 146.940 always resulted in
146.390 (actually 146.39999 but I have step set to 10.0KHz)).

I think what I have provided here is very usable. I wish there was a way to
limit the 100's of MHz selections to 1, 4 & 5 and the 100's of Hz settings
to 0, 2, 5 and 7. At list I have them limited to their lowest and highest
settings.

I'd be willing to revisit this, but for now I'd like to review my todo list
and see what additional things I can add to CHIRP for the UV-5R.

Thanks for everyone's help. I learned a lot from everyone.
