chore: release v0.26.7

An Icom reached over the LAN streams its receive audio through the Icom
protocol, and Windows sees no sound card for it at all — the audio settings
could only offer the PC's own microphone, so "From radio" had nothing right to
point at and the QSO recorder had nothing to record. The recorder now accepts a
PUSHED source: the decoded stream goes to the speakers and to the recorder
alike, with no virtual cable to set up. Which source it uses follows the CAT
backend, and it is restarted only when that answer changes, so an ordinary
settings save never cuts a recording in half.

OmniRig no longer sends SetSimplexMode to a Yaesu when tuning. It is a silent
no-op on some — an FT-891 logged OK on every spot click while FreqA never
moved — and actively harmful on others. From an FT-2000 log, one QSY:

	Vfo="AB"(0x80)  Split=0x10000 (off)   the operator's state
	Vfo="BA"(0x100) Split=0x8000  (ON)    after SetSimplexMode

The rig-agnostic "receive and transmit HERE, simplex" call turned split on and
moved reception to VFO B. OpsLog then displayed B — reading the radio correctly,
after having moved it itself. Icom is untouched: there the call is the
authoritative one and the direct write is unreliable.

Also:
  - the NEW county badge shows in the entry form itself, inside the field,
    where the operator is deciding whether to call.
  - the basemap buttons clear the zoom controls; Light sat a few pixels from
    the minus button and was being clicked by mistake.
  - French cluster status: DÉJÀ CTC reads DÉJÀ QSO.

+// The obvious source is the materialised award_refs column: it is already on
+// every row and one query reads it. It is also the wrong answer twice over.
+// That column holds DISPLAY LABELS, not references — depending on the award's
+// RefDisplay it can read "Krasnogvardeysky" or "ST-25 — Krasnogvardeysky", and
+// DXCC stores a country name — and it is a derived cache that lags: a QSO whose
+// references were back-filled (see BackfillRDA) counts on the Awards grid long
+// before anything recomputes its column. The first build of this badge used it
+// and marked a district worked on five bands as NEW.
+//
+// So the answer comes from the same place the Awards grid's answer comes from:
+// award.MatchQSO over the logbook. What is engineered here is the COST of that,
+// because the question is asked while the operator is logging:
+//
+//   - the set is per award CODE, and built only for codes actually asked about;
+//   - it reuses the award snapshot when one is already in memory, which it
