[App_rpt-users] recent upgragdes to chan_voter

[Tim Sawyer]

Here are a few examples of the new voter priority CLI. 

voter prio instance site disable  ; (or -1) Makes site ineligible for voting
voter prio instance site off        ; (or -2) Remove any priority, make eligible
voter prio instance site 5          ; vote this site if there is any signal and no higher priority 
voter prio instance                   ; show priority of all sites

instance is the node number of the voter instance
site is the name (not case sensitive) as defined in voter.conf
