[chirp_devel] Anytone TERMN8R Support

Does it inherit anything from the anytone driver? Or could/should it? If
it doesn't inherit anything, then I think it should be a separate file.
If it inherits some, but is still a lot of its own code, it can be a
separate file, but still import and inherit pieces from the base anytone
driver.

Sounds like maybe it would be best to keep it in its own file if it's
going to grow.

Could you just send the .py file to the list so we could look it over
and try to advise?

Thanks!
