Draw the bandmap the way N1MM draws it

The bandmap was a list of frequencies and callsigns. It is now a frequency
scale with the stations written out beside it and a leader line from each
callsign back to where the station really is.

BandmapLayout does the placing and has no UI reference, so the rule is unit
tested: put the label centred on its frequency, and if it would cover the one
above, push it below instead. That is N1MM's CalculateOffset, and it is what
keeps three stations a hundred hertz apart readable.

The scale stops short of the top and bottom edges, or the first and last
frequency numbers come out cut in half.

VfoMarker draws the receiver as a bar as wide as the mode passes, rather than a
line. Only the receiver is fed: the radio does not report a transmit VFO or a
second radio yet, so VfoRole has the other two roles ready and nothing draws
them. Band-plan colouring of the scale is left out because the segments differ
by ITU region and there is no band-plan table to read them from.

Checked by running the program against a fake cluster node under Xvfb and
looking at the result: twelve spots, three of them stacked with fanned leaders.

### The bandmap
A frequency scale down the left with the stations written out beside it. Each
callsign sits level with its frequency, and when two stations are too close to
write one above the other the lower one moves down and a leader line runs back
to where it really is. That is what N1MM does, and the stacking follows its
rule: place the label centred on its frequency, and push it below the one above
if it would cover it.
The slice shown follows the receiver — 10, 20, 40 or 100 kHz, or the whole band.
Callsigns are coloured by the same scorer as the entry window, so a dupe reads
as a dupe here too. Clicking a callsign puts the radio there with the call
already in the entry window; clicking anywhere else just moves the radio.
The green bar on the scale is the receiver, as wide as the mode it is in.
`VfoRole` has transmit and second-radio bars ready, but nothing feeds them yet:
the radio does not report a transmit VFO or a second radio, so those bars stay
out rather than showing a guess.
Band-plan colouring of the scale is not there. The segments differ by ITU region
and the program has no band-plan table, so it would be guesswork.
