[arm-allstar] adding a short delay on connect

Greetings:
There are two things that have always bugged me about
Allstarlink/HamVoIP. One of them is that transmissions to the network
still continue after the node receives the special character (usually
*). I'll give this one thing to echolink. When that character is
received, the rest of the transmission is local only. It'd be wonderful
if this could be improved, probably at the simpleusb level.
The other related thing which bugs me is that, if someone DTMF's into a
node in TX mode, that station starts sending immediately after the last
character is entered, meaning a lot of little kirchunks can happen as
people connect to nodes through DTMF.
To somewhat mitigate that problem, on my hubs, I have added a one second
delay in the dialplan logic for the node in radio-secure. It doesn't
solve the problem completely, especially if someone is reluctant to let
go of the PTT for a good few seconds after entering the last character
either through memory or manually dialing, but it does cut down on this
somewhat without making it extremely laggy.
Here is what my [radio-secure] looks like for the node 506315, for example.
[radio-secure]
exten => 506315,1,Wait(1)
exten => 506315,n,rpt,506315|X
If you are on a system where people are primarily connecting via things
like Supermon, the clear node app, NodeRemote, etc. you probably
shouldn't change this. On my system, though, there are a lot of DTMFers.
