FreeDV Reporter: don't select the row under the mouse on focus without a click; begin 2.4.2 development (#1611)

* FreeDV Reporter: only select the row under the mouse on focus if a button is down.

OnSetFocus() selected whatever row the mouse was over whenever the list
gained the focus, including when that came from the window being brought
to the front or a tooltip closing rather than a click. On Linux the
selection guard doesn't stop this either, as hovering over a row already
allows selections. This caused an occasional gui_reporter_row_actions
failure on v3.0-dev ("Selected stations after hovering messages is
['K1ABC']").

* Increment version to 2.4.2 to begin development.

Also builds against freedv-backend's main branch again instead of the
v1.0.1 release, as was done when 2.4.1 development began (#1473).
