[Xastir] New script: ads-b.pl for snagging airplane positions

[Curt Mills]

Want to do it in an even cooler way?

    $ xastir_udp_client localhost 2023 <callsign> <passcode> -identify
    Received: WE7U-13

Maybe that gives you some ideas...  If you don't do it, I'll get around to
doing it soon. Soon being relative.

Hint: Use backticks instead of the system() command to save the results of
a command. So something like this might work (untested code):

  $result = `xastir_udp_client localhost 2023 <callsign> <passcode>
-identify`;

Then split the callsign/SSID up into two (if SSID is present) with
"split()" and figure out if the SSID you want to inject with is different
than the running Xastir's SSID. If not, increment mod 16.
