openAdd Yaesu preset receive memories to bank system

Description
Several Yaesu radios have multiple predefined, unalterable frequencies stored in some separately-accessible memory. They can be referred to by bank entries, and possibly in VFO settings. These references were the cause of the bug #5167, which was "fixed" by causing CHIRP to ignore the entries. Implement these new memories.

The memories are only referenced via the banks or as selectable input to VFOs, and are not stored in memory accessible to either CHIRP or Yaesu’s ADMS software.
I know the Yaesu FT-1, FT2, FT3, and FT5 have these “preset” memory locations. I own an FT2, and have scanned the manuals for others. These memories seem to be defined for radios with a receiver capable of 500kHz - UHF (900MHz?) although none of the presets are in UHF. Presets are defined for 80+ shortwave broadcasters, 57 International VHF Marine channels, and ten [NOAA-only?] broadcast channels.
Yaesu FT-4, FT-70, FTM-3200 and FTM-5000 have weather channel(s) only.
None are available in the Yaesu FT-450.
I didn’t do an exhaustive search for all Yaesu models or of the sub-versions of these radios (-D, D-R, -X, etc)
--- note: Since they are only referenceable by an entry in the banks or during VFO-setting, I'm not confident that CHIRP will ever be able to handle these.
