DIP switches for autonomous modes

While there are good reasons for putting the selection on the Operator Interface (you can change it without having to be next to your robot) for me there is nothing as certain as flipping a switch on your robot to be sure that your robot will know what to do.

So... ...if #2849 ever gets its autonomous program(s) running, we'll be flipping switches on the robot to select (or disable) them.

For what it's worth.
