Changes for Build #578
[Jim Unroe <rock.unroe at gmail.com>] [KT-8900D] Support Radios With Missing TMR Choice

A bug with the TMR feature was discovered during the initial development of
this driver. The 15 choices listed in the TMR menu of the radio did not match
the 15 choices of same setting in the factory programming software. They each
had a choice available that the other did not have. The bug was reported.

Soon after that a pre-production BTech model was received from Baofeng Tech
that corrected the TMR menu to have a complete set of 16 choices. It was
assumed that the other Vendor/Model variants would receive the same update
to the TMR menu. This 16 choice layout is what the initial CHIRP driver for
these radios was then based on.

Apparently the bug was not universally fixed in the TMR menu of non-BTech
variants so some models continue to ship with the M+A+B+D choice missing
from the TMR menu. This patch creates a 15 choice list to be use with color
mobile radios that have the M+A+B+D choice missing (such as the QYT KT-7900D
and KT-8900D).
