[Trlog] Display of actual QSO totals

During this past weekend's ARRL 160 contest, I had TR (v6.74) configured 
to "work dupes in run mode" because it was quicker and easier to work 
'em again than to send the "qso b4" message.

I noticed, however, that the running QSO total included these dupes. 
The on-going score calculation was correct, as expected.

I think it would be very useful if the displayed QSO total did not show 
dupes.  It would give the operator a better idea of how he/she is 
actually doing.  Correct me if I'm wrong; I've been using TR since v3.83 
way back in the early 90's and seem to recall that the displayed QSO 
total used to work this way.

FWIW, I had something like 40 dupes in my log.  Many of these stations 
called me repeatedly.  I don't know if this is normal for 160 contesting 
or not.  Maybe they were casual ops who didn't use logging software?
