[WT-support] New LUA script API to play additional MK2R DVK messages

Because when you hit an Fx key, Win-Test does some multithreaded process 
that might "take some time", and acts differently depending on the used 
voice keyer (I mean internal vs external etc.). It also parses the 
associated message.

In your case, you just send the MK2R command by skipping this overhead.

You just risk potential hot switchings which are processed currently by 
Win-Test, and can't use the associated message (intelligent QSLing etc.).

Choose your poison.

You must understand that the content of the direct commands sent to the 
external devices is totally unknown by the Win-Test core. It just sends 
them with no question asked. It may be convenient in some cases, but 
it's up to you to understand what you're doing.

Of course, the same rules apply for the direct CAT commands sent to the 
radios.
