{{Quickfixn}} Intercepting FIX50 Logon messages to set password

[Grant Birchmeier]

The logon message is in the FIXT data dictionary, not the FIX50 one.

Unfortunately, I see we are not generating FIXT messages and fields.
That's weird and I don't like it.  I'll open an issue to get to the
bottom of that.

I think, for now, you can work around it by using generic message
methods such as:
    m.Header.GetString(35)=="A"  // to test if Logon message
and
    m.SetField(new Password("my_pass"));

It's not optimal, but it should get you through.

Please let me know if you have other FIX50 problems.  I suspect the
FIX50 code is not as solid as the FIX4 code, so any bug reports would
be greatly welcomed.
