[arm-allstar] telemetry control

[David McGough]

Okay, I'm going to have to investigate a solution.  The issue is that
telemetry from the "neighbor node" indicating the connection change
probably isn't being passed to your hub, no matter how telemenabled is set
at your end. So, you don't know a node has connected to a neighbor, other
than by monitoring linkslist data, as seen in Supermon, etc. Note that the 
linkslist data is updated.

I'll mention that I've explicitly changed HamVoIP to alter this behavior.  

The problem is that historically there have been telemetry "storms"
frequently occurring on larger networks, where a small number of nodes
will quickly connect and disconnect from some edge location, sending an
oscillating wave of telemetry messages across the entire network, with
crippling impact! This type problem is now resolved. Going backwards to
the previous mechanism verbatim isn't an option, so I'll try to find a
solution which allows the desired telemetry action, without to potential
network pitfalls.
