Add support for BK 8862/8863 probes

[Sunderlandkyl]

We have used the attached patch to add support for several additional BK probes (so far used with 8862 probe to acquire RF data during one neurosurgery case).
This issue is to request review and advice. In particular there are two points which would break support for the prostate probe:

L44: there is only one channel available (also for 8863 and 8820e probes)

• Should I add a configuration option to make this check contingent on a configured number of channels?

L57: the modelID field != 0 for at least the 8862

• Not sure what to do about this.

Thank you.

Any solution that is backward compatible should be fine.
@rankin, could you please review and integrate the proposed changes?

It seems fine. Does is still work for the existing setups is the real question.

Well I think we are the only existing BK setup (?). I will see if I can get access to the other probe and make this compatible before committing. Thanks.

@ihnorton Any luck? The change didn't seem very risky. If you don't think you'll have a chance to test it soon I'll move this to PLUS future for further testing.
