New Variable to Control XSEC View Exaggeration Separate from Profile View Exaggeration

Consider adding a set of variables to control XSEC view exaggeration and default exaggeration separate from profile view exaggeration. This would be similar to how there is a separate set of variables for super exaggeration.

Suggested variables would be:
CIVIL_XSEC_EXAGGERATION_VALUES
CIVIL_SET_XSEC_DEFAULT_EXAGGERATION
_CIVIL_SKIP_XSEC_DEFAULT_EXAGGERATION

The reason for these would be that XSECs are rarely exaggerated up to the same levels as profiles. And in a flat place like Houston where the default profile exaggeration is 10:1, it's annoying that every time the XSEC window is opened it defaults to 10:1 instead of something much more sensible like 2:1.

Thanks,
