Patch combining simgear git commits b9deeb and a97c14

A known bug in the release version of the simgear 2016.3.1 can lead to
flightgear crashing with an assertion failure when the pilot changes a comm
radio frequency or silences the radio.

A forum thread describing the issue is at=20
https://sourceforge.net/p/flightgear/mailman/message/35388214/

The bug has been fixed in the simgear project's git repo, but until the next
release that leaves FreeBSD's port somewhat broken.

To reproduce, one has to have flightgear set up so that it starts up with t=
he
radios turned on and receiving ATIS information.  If you then turn the volu=
me
knob to zero or click the "swap frequency" button on the com1 radio, the co=
de
exits with the assertion failure.

I have applied the changes made in simgear's git commits b9deeb and a97c14,=
 and
found that it fixes the problem with flightgear.  These commits may be foun=
d at=20
https://sourceforge.net/p/flightgear/simgear/ci/b9deebb59d872169eb164101b83=

and
https://sourceforge.net/p/flightgear/simgear/ci/a97c145f56233f2b4df633c13e5=
767d3a1b8617b/.

The attached patch, if dropped into devel/simgear/files will fix the problem
until the next release of simgear and flightgear, which won't have the bug.
