[aprssig] using beacon text to advertise voice repeaters

[Wes Johnston, AI4PX]

The WIDE1-1 path element below.... should it be WIDE2-1.  We are
talking about a digipeater "advertising" an object, so if I've
understood the source of the packet correctly, it would seem that
sending WIDE1-1 from a digi would be a bad thing.
