[Xastir] Query on symbol ghosting

[Curt Mills]

Never mind. There's a menu option called: "Include Expired Data" which
makes expired data pop up again if people want to see it, so I'll just make
the callsigns and other bits attached to symbols go away when the symbol
ghosts if that option is not enabled. Keeps the screen uncluttered.
