Done.  I did NOT implement the zoom/pan lock for the following
features:

     display_zoom_image
     Track_Me
     last map position
     track_gui.c:Track_station()
     Find Station
     Map Display Bookmarks

What's the concensus on those?  Should we pan/zoom/track for any of
those functions, or should they be disabled as well when the map
lock is on?
