Docker version: Callsign set to 'on' no matter what

As detailed in Discord, the CALLSIGN variable cannot be turned off in the Docker version.

"includeCallSign" is set to on by default in the python file, but the compose envar and parsing only supports turning it on, rather than turning it off. Therefore it will always be on even if the compose file has - CALLSIGN= envar set to blank.

So either "includeCallSign" should be set to False by default in the python code, or the compose parsing needs to be tweaked, maybe with

[[ -n "${CALLSIGN}" ]] && ais_params+=("CALLSIGN off") || true

although that's suboptimal because then it would be the opposite behavior of the INCLUDE_SHIPS envar.

I dunno, it's not a huge deal, maybe file this under W for "Who cares?"

MMSI to ICAO map

Not an issue, just wondering if there is a way that I could get MMSI's that start with 503****** to generate ICAO 0xD***** but other MMSI's generate the existing 0xF***** , looking at the code but struggling to think a way around, working 65 + hours a week at the moment is not letting me think clearly, or is it just a case of doing it manually.
