'HDZ' Set Zone Switching Delays

This command is used to add a "mute time" when switching between HDMI inputs.
With no delay in place, when the Zektor Switch switches from one input to another, the switching is
immediate. When a delay is added, an extra step takes place when switching between inputs.
Instead of immediately switching to the new input, the zone is first muted for the 'delay' amount of
time, and is then switched to the new input.
For HDMI video, this seems redundant since it is seldom the case an HDMI switch, switch too quickly.
But for the audio channel, this can eliminated pops on some digital audio receivers. For the most part
this is a seldom, if ever used, command.
Each channel, on each zone, can have its own delay setting (HDMI video can have a different delay
than the audio).
The different command forms are:
^HDZ @zone,@zone,delay$
^HDZ.ch @zone,delay$
^HDZ ?$
^HDZ @zone,?$
^HDZ.ch @zone,?$
Response Strings:
^=HDZ @zone,delay$
^=HDZ.ch @zone,delay$
Where:
= One (or more) zones to be mapped.
@zone
= The delay time in milliseconds (1000 milliseconds = 1 second).
delay
ch = Channel bitmap (1,8, or 9).
