[FT2900] Add msg for attempt to upload to locked radio.  Fixes #3055
A user may "lock" an FT-2900/FT-1900, preventing configuration changes.
An upload will fail if this is the case.  This patch adds some text to
the upload dialog box to help the user avoid attempting to upload to
a locked radio.  It also adds some text to the error message that
appears on upload failure, to suggest the user check to make sure
his radio is not locked.
