Add emergency beacon option

With the new scanning system, added with the lastest update, I thought it would be interesting if we could choose different beacon broadcast modes for our ships (currently only Wing and Off available) so that we can broadcast an emergency signal in case we run out of fuel for example.

This way, players (and AI) with passive scanners or even the FSS could actually find your emergency signal source and come to help (or destroy you). That would add some cool gameplay options.
 
I like this idea. Having other beacon modes might also lead to other types of game play. Like Medicine delivery beacon for outbreak systems so npc's come to you for medicines, same for famine. Warning beaons advising enemies not to approach would add something to some of the attempts to blockade some systems etc.
