rouggy d4bfd30636 fix: serial CAT keyed the radio on connect; Xiegu can key on RTS/DTR
Reported on a Xiegu G90. With the blue programming cable — three wires, no
modem lines — CAT works perfectly. Behind a DE-19, which carries audio, CAT and
PTT, the radio went into transmit the moment OpsLog connected and stayed there.

Windows raises DTR and RTS when a serial port is opened, and the DE-19 reads
them as PTT; Xiegu's own documentation asks for both low. The CI-V backend has
dropped them since it was written, for the same reason on Icom rigs with USB
SEND mapped to a line. Xiegu, Yaesu and Kenwood did not. They do now.

The second half of the report: WSJT-X through OpsLog's rigctld decoded fine and
never transmitted. Nothing was broken in that chain — set_ptt reaches the
backend, which sends the CI-V PTT command, which a G90 ignores. That is why
Xiegu keys on a hardware line instead. The backend can now do that: Settings →
CAT → Xiegu → how the rig is keyed (CI-V / RTS / DTR).

Untested here — no G90 in reach. The operator who reported it offered to try.

package cat
// Native Xiegu CAT (G90, X6100, X6200, X5105 and relatives) over the rig's
// serial/USB port.
//
// Xiegu speaks CI-V — Icom's bus protocol — with a REDUCED command set. Frames,
// BCD encoding, addressing and the opcodes for frequency (0x03/0x05), mode
// (0x04/0x06), PTT (0x1C 0x00), split (0x0F) and the meters (0x15) are the same
// as Icom's, which is why this backend reuses internal/cat/civ wholesale rather
// than re-deriving it.
//
// It is a SEPARATE backend rather than the Icom one with another address,
// because what the two rigs DON'T share is the important part. The Icom backend
// reads the spectrum scope, the DSP block, data-mode via 0x1A 0x06, the model id
// via 0x19 — none of which a Xiegu implements. Pointed at a G90 it would poll
// for answers that never come on every cycle, and its silence tolerance would
// spend itself on commands the radio was never going to support.
//
// Mode differences that matter: the Xiegu table lists LSB, USB, AM, CW and CWR
// only — no FM, no RTTY, and no data mode. A digital QSO therefore runs in USB
// (which is what the operator does on the radio anyway), and the mode is
// reported as the operator's configured digital mode when they select one, not
// invented from the rig.
//
// Verified on: nothing yet — written from the Xiegu CI-V command table. The
// command table published by Xiegu has rows that clearly slipped during
// typesetting (0x07 and 0x0F share a block), so where it contradicts itself the
// Icom meaning is used, since the rest of the table matches Icom exactly. Every
// unexpected reply is logged raw so a first on-air run settles it.
