Save ship form disconnect (Deadman check)

Description
Continuosly checks that pilot is present (local or remote).
If pilot is absent, turn on dampers, gyros, disable gravity drives. Optionally starts and internal timer so if you don't get back to the ship, turns autopilot ON and sends your ship home. Optionally starts another timer so you can do whatever stuff you want, not covered in the script.
Optional output to LCD to see status.
Based on Dr. Novikov's script https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=515022499
But I wanted a way to turn on delayed autopilot without addind a second timer. And also LCD out.
Update: Added parameter 'stop'. To stop the script run the program with parameter 'stop' instead of stopping the timer.
This way the LCD display updates to show the script is offline.
2016/05/14 Added SOUND BLOCK!!
If LCD takes too much space in your design, you can place a sound block with alarm loop 10 seconds.
So if you exit your ship without de-activating the script, the alarm will remind you!
Also added a way to share the LCD screen with other scripts. No longer it needs a dedicated LCD!

Yep I have been testing text panels in small ships and I really like them.
I have done a cargo % and hydro % indicator and these looks really nice in these.
I have adapted this script also (just reducing the amount of text a little). So I will soon update this workshop script and publish the others.

Thank you for this script! I have a suggestion: make it so that you also can use a text panel. Because a LCD panel is very big on a small ship. Where a text panel is a standard armor block format on a small ship. And it's only 3 lines of text tho.

Thank you!
