B-1B: replace the unrealistic nav display with a more realistic HSI

The nav display is cool but unrealistic. The cockpit of the B-1B,
before the 2001 glass cockpit upgrade, looked like this:

After the 2001 upgrade it looked like this:

There may be a future effort to model the glass cockpit but this
change does the opposite and makes the cockpit more like the real
non-glass cockpit.

* Remove the nav display from the pilot's flightdeck; the defensive
systems officer sitting behind the pilot still has a nav display,
since he operates the radar.

* Copy and modify heavily the electromechanical HSI from the A-10.
Install one for the pilot and another for the copilot.

* Make the HSIs obey the Flight Director switch:
- ILS & ADF mode:
. the thin RMI needle in the background points to the ADF
. the thick needle moves with the selected course and provides a
course deviation indicator if the VOR beacon is in range;
if out of range, an orange rectangle on the needle indicates that.
. the upper-left number drums indicate the DME, if the DME is in
range
- ADF mode:
. the thin RMI needle in the background points to the ADF
. No DME or course indication
- TACAN mode:
. the thin RMI needle in the background points to the TACAN beacon
. the upper-left number drums indicate the distance to the TACAN if
in range; if out of range, the orange rectangle indicates that.

* Make the Course Set and Heading Set knobs work to select VOR radial
and autopilot heading, respectively. Unfortunately the HSI lacks a
heading bug; you'll have to make do with only the numerical
indication on top of the vertical situation indicator (green CRT) on
top.

* Move the Flight Director and engine/landing gear annunciator lights
panels to their real-life location below and to the right of the
HSI, respectively.

Fix the unintended colon in the ASK13 YASim file ask13.xml.

This matches Heiko's fix of r885 for the ASK 21 glider, as the ask13.xml file is
derived from that glider.
