I've just added a second interface function for selecting weapons:

  controls.weaponSelect(int)

All input devices should use it as

  controls.weaponSelect(1)      and
  controls.weaponSelect(-1)

to switch to the next/previous weapon. This function does by default
only increase/decrease the integer value /controls/armament/selected.
Aircraft who offer more than one weapon should use this interface, by
either reading the value from /controls/armament/selected, or by
redefining controls.weaponSelect(). If the former is done, then it
may be advisable to apply a modulo[0] operation to the "selected"
value.
