New INTERLOCK parameter for config file interlocks all channels with the same interlock number configured to share DCD and PTT signaling. Useful with several setup types where 2 or more channels shouldn't interfere with eachother. For example when radios and/or antennas are shared.
A value of delete_count + 100 seems to give issues with multiple channels and freq. offset decoding configured. Extended to 168 for testing a max. with 3 channels and 7 offset decoders p/channel
DCD state could get stuck which blocked PTT, now fixed.

I'm curious whether this will be considered. An additional use case might be if you have two radios and an undersized power supply. I believe this would allow you to only allow one radio to transmit at a time, and hence stay below the limits of the power supply. |

Added feature to interlock channels with the same interlock number configured to share DCD and PTT signaling.
Useful with several setup types where 2 or more channels shouldn't interfere with eachother without the need to use TXINH and (external) connections and/or circuitry to accomplish similar goals.
For example when radios and/or antennas are shared, or RX/TX more than 1 mode on a single soundcard and radio (with 'virtual Y-cable' setup) using multiple Direwolf channels.
Channels on the same INTERLOCK number configured are sharing DCD and PTT signaling internally.
