[WriteLog] Wish: More flexible rotor control

I use "Antenna to [nnn] Azimuth" a lot. It would be very nice to have a
companion function that turns the antenna to the long-path bearing (+/- 180)
which is currently displayed but not used for rotor control.

Also useful would be +90 and -90. That would be helpful for antennas that
are at right angles to the others. I don't have any at present but many
people do.

Finally, it would be helpful if these rotor control functions were
accessible when the focus is on the other rig QSO entry fields. Right now,
WL assumes there is exactly one rotor dedicated to each rig. But many people
have multiple antennas on one mast and use them with both rigs. It would be
great to tie the two rigs to the one rotor. There are user interface
subtleties here that merit careful thought and a two-phase implementation
might provide 80% of the functionality with the first 20% of the work!
