[chirp_devel] [PATCH] [FT2900] add support for xmit modded FT2900E

CHIRP already has this functionality built in, you just need to make
those classes implement the matching mechanism:

Right now it's just comparing file size, which is identical between all
of them.

If you put an image for your radio in tests/images then run_tests.sh
will validate that no two models are matched twice.

Thanks!
