feat(cat): make the DTR/RTS lowering a setting

Both defaults break someone. 0.22.7 lowered the lines on Yaesu and
Kenwood and silenced a TS-990 whose interface needs RTS raised to
transmit; 0.22.8 stopped lowering them and an FT8 station reported its
output power wandering, cured by closing OpsLog — Windows raises both on
open and the interface reads one as PTT.

So it is now a checkbox on those two backends, off by default: that is
how they behaved before any of this. Xiegu keeps lowering them
unconditionally (its own report, its own explicit keying setting), and
the CI-V backend keeps the behaviour it has always had.
