Add to GENERAL_RESET
Byte 1, Bits 0-1 Initiate Test 00 = No Action. 01 = Initiate testing mode.

Justification: Self-checks and tests are common features of electronic nodes. A common method of accessing such tests makes it easier to design QC and service tools.

Add to AWNING_COMMAND
Byte 1, Bit 4-5 Awning Light 00 = Off, 01 = On. Controls an integrated awning light, if present.
Byte 1, Bit 6-7 Secondary Light 00 = Off, 01 = On. Controls a second integrated awning light, if present.

Add to AWNING_STATUS
Byte 5, Bit 0-1 Awning Light 00 = Off, 01 = On. Status of integrated awning light, if present.
Byte 5, Bit 2-3 Secondary Light 00 = Off, 01 = On. Status of second integrated awning light, if present.

Justification: Awnings are often equipped with a light, typically a 12VDC. This light is often not part of the RV's general lighting system, and using the DC_LOAD_COMMAND message would require coordinating the instancing between the awning and that system. Although the manufacturer is still free to use the DC_LOAD messages, this amendment provides an alternative that will be simpler to implement in most cases.
