[arm-allstar] Turn on PL on demand

[Steve Smith]

The COP 58 and 59 just control the txctcss bit.  Our PiTone program uses 
this txctcss bit to control when and how our PiTone CTCSS waveform is 
generated (always on, follows the txctcss bit or follows the ctcss bit 
with turn off delay)

All the PiTone information is at 
https://hamprojects.info/pitone-ctcss-tone-generator/

I wrote a couple of scripts to start and kill the Pitone program to 
control whether we are sending CTCSSS on our repeater's output.  I then 
added the calling of these scripts to the Admin Menu.  Of course these 
scripts can be run from added DTMF commands also.
