  Much of the work for 3.1 done. Files are for multiple issues. Issues GEM:189 and GEM:190 are not complete, awaiting test results.

Add test menu item for testing dispatcher-generated AutoFocus.

Actually, only do a dispatcher-generated AF after a weather interrupt if the periodic Af time has passed and there's nothing to do. If there is something to do in DoSchedulePass() and the periodic AF time has passed, that will schedule an AF before that observation anyway. This prevents needless AF's more often that the periodic interval.

SCHEDULER-146 combined with this one and deleted.

This and SCHEDULER-146 will require a new method in the ISequencer interface, DoAutoFocus(). Then this needs to be implemented in both the Simulator and ACP sequencers.
