Making second VHF radio work on PilotEdge

The IXEG 737 currently has (somewhat) broken handling of the MIC selector on the comm panel, forcing you to use VHF1 for all of your comm needs. To fix that, I've devised a little lua script which follows the selection you make on your audio panel and switches the underlying X-Plane datarefs (sim/cockpit/switches/audio_panel_out).

The real audio panel has two rows of controls, the mic selector switching row (only one selected at a time) and the speaker buttons (push-on-push-off). You can listen to multiple COMs simultaneously. This script preserves that behavior. Switching your mic to another VHF radio won't also switch your speaker, so you need to select it by hand.

Please note: only the captain's side audio panel is handled. F/O's side is left as-is (i.e. ignored).

This script also fixes a number of different aircraft which have a similar bug. The Beech 1900D, Jetstream32, L410 and Bell 407 all feature speaker selection switches, but no (functional) mic selector. There we simply follow the speaker selection. Flip VHF1 off and VHF2 on and your mic will go to VHF2. Flip VHF1 on and VHF2 off and your mic will go to VHF1. The RWDesigns DHC-6 has a mic selector, but it was non-functional. Fixed that as well.
