Show polarity in pwm command

Effectively flips all values related to the directionality of current
through the TEC, including current maximums. The reversed status is
stored in the flash store and will be loaded on reset once saved.

The command is "pwm <ch> polarity <normal/reversed>", where the "normal"
polarity is indicated by the front panel markings.

This is needed for IDC cable connections to the Sinara 5432 DAC
"Zotino", since the TEC pins of the 10-pin connector on the Thermostat
and Zotino have opposite polarities.

 When using a TEC module with the Thermostat, the Thermostat expects the thermal load (where the thermistor is located) to cool down with a positive software current set point, and heat up with a negative current set point.
 
+If the Thermostat is used for temperature control with the Sinara 5432 DAC "Zotino", and is connected via an IDC cable, the TEC polarity may need to be reversed with the `pwm <ch> polarity reversed` TCP command.
+
 Testing heat flow direction with a low set current is recommended before installation of the TEC module.
