Score CQ WW RTTY as its own contest

Browse Source 
CQWWRTTY resolved to the built-in CQ WW with the mode set to digital, and then
scored it as though it were the CW running: a contact inside your own country
worth nothing, two multiplier types, and CQ-WW-SSB in the Cabrillo header. Every
one of those is wrong for RTTY, and wrong quietly, which is the worst way.

RTTY is a different contest wearing the same name. Every contact scores — 1
inside your own country, 2 on your own continent, 3 off it. The exchange carries
the state or province after the zone, and that is a third multiplier per band.
A station outside the US and Canada sends DX there, so the box is not required
and DX brings no multiplier.

The state box being optional is deliberate: most of the log is DX stations, and
holding up an entry for a box that will hold DX costs more than it is worth.

**Contest coverage.** Eight families are built in, plus whatever `.udc` files

from a contest not in the registry fails with the contest name, which is the
right answer but it is still a wall.

Most of what is missing does not need code. A contest whose exchange is a
report and one value, scored by band, mode, continent or country, and counted
by country, zone, section or prefix, is a `.udc` file, and the file published
for N1MM is read as it is. Code is for the ones `.udc` has no words for: WAE
needs QTC traffic, IOTA needs island references as multipliers, and CQ WW RTTY
needed a third multiplier and its own points table because it shares a name
with the CW and SSB running of the contest.
What `.udc` cannot say here yet: an exchange that differs by the other
station's country (the OK/OM district against a serial number from everyone
else), points that depend on a zone or a distance, and multiplier sources
beyond country, prefix, zone, section, exchange, grid and continent.
