  alinco/dxsr8: fix serial configuration, timing, and control bugs

- serial_stop_bits corrected from 1 to 2 per protocol documentation;
  incorrect stop bits caused systematic transaction timing errors
- post_write_delay increased from 0 to 100ms to allow radio processing
  time between commands
- timeout increased from 200ms to 600ms to accommodate slower responses
- retry reduced from 3 to 1 to prevent command flooding on failure
- DXSR8_LEVEL_ALL advertised RIG_LEVEL_RF but implemented ATT and
  PREAMP; corrected capability flags accordingly
- set_mode NAR command acknowledgment timeout treated as non-fatal;
  radio executes the command correctly but does not reliably return
  OK within the timeout window — logs WARN instead of propagating error
- get_mode RR_NAR query removed; radio does not respond reliably
  causing systematic timeouts — normal passband returned always
- get_level ATT case 2 returned 10 instead of 20 (copy-paste error)
- get_level RFPOWER case 3 never matched radio response of 2,
  leaving val->f uninitialized in QRP mode
