[aprssig] using beacon text to advertise voice repeaters

[Robert Bruninga]

Yes, normally sending WIDE1-1 is not a good idea from a 
digi, but in this case, it is a fill-in digi, and if there is another
fill-in digi in range, then presumably that is also a black hole
and so it makes sense to let that area also see this fill-in
digi too...  But I agree, generally, WIDE2-1 is better than
WIDE1-1 for high sites.

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.
