rouggy 43095a1d89 feat(rigctld): split that actually reaches the radio, or an honest refusal
set_split_vfo and set_split_freq both answered RPRT 0 and did nothing. WSJT-X
and JTDX in "Split Operating: Rig" send exactly that pair, believed both, and
transmitted on the RECEIVE frequency — on a pileup, straight onto the DX, while
showing the operator precisely what they had asked for. A lie that leaves no
trace in any log is the worst kind of bug this program can have.

The two commands are honoured as a PAIR. Arming alone does nothing on the radio,
because WSJT-X sends the frequency second and split armed on whatever the
transmit VFO happened to hold is worse than no split at all: it transmits
somewhere the operator never chose. The request is remembered and set_split_freq
does the work.

Kenwood gains SetSplit — FB to place the dial, then FR0/FT1 to arm, in that
order for the same reason. It writes what State() already knows how to read.

Everything else REFUSES, and that is the feature, not a shortfall. Only Flex and
Icom could even toggle split before, neither could set the transmit frequency,
and Yaesu, TCI and OmniRig have nothing at all. A refusal WSJT-X can report —
and act on, by falling back to Fake It — is worth far more than a success it has
no way to check.

Both paths are pinned: split reaching the rig as one armed call with the right
frequency, and a backend that cannot do it producing an error rather than RPRT 0.

// Package rigctld shares OpsLog's CAT link with other programs.
//
// A native CAT backend owns the rig's serial port, and Windows gives a COM port
// to ONE process. So the moment OpsLog talks to the radio directly, WSJT-X,
// MSHV or JTDX can no longer reach it — the cost of dropping OmniRig, which was
// itself a sharing layer.
//
// The answer is the one wfview uses: OpsLog becomes the server. It speaks the
// Hamlib "net rigctl" protocol, which WSJT-X, JTDX, MSHV, Log4OM and CQRLOG all
// support natively (rig model "Hamlib NET rigctl", host:4532) with no driver to
// install. The other program asks us, and we relay to whichever backend is
// connected — OmniRig, Flex, Icom, TCI or Yaesu alike.
//
// ── The protocol ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
// Line-based ASCII. A lowercase letter reads, its uppercase counterpart writes,
// and long names are prefixed with a backslash. A write answers "RPRT 0" for
// success or "RPRT -n" for an error; a read answers the value(s), one per line.
//
// f → 14074000 get_freq
// F 14074000 → RPRT 0 set_freq
// m → USB\n2400 get_mode (mode + passband)
// M USB 2400 → RPRT 0 set_mode
// t / T 1 → 0 get/set PTT
// s → 0\nVFOB get_split_vfo
// v → VFOA get_vfo
// \dump_state → capability block asked once by WSJT-X at connect
//
// WSJT-X will not proceed past connect without a well-formed dump_state, which
// is why that block is written out in full rather than stubbed.
