Description

It would be great if this API provided an easy way to trigger an emergency cutout while flying, to make it dead drop from the air. Similar to how you can easily clear an emergency via client.disableEmergency(); having a client.enableEmergency(); function as well, would allow you to just as easily trigger an emergency.

Research direction
The issue requests adding an `enableEmergency()` method analogous to the existing `disableEmergency()` method. Look at the source code, likely in `lib/Client.js`, to understand the pattern used for `disableEmergency` and replicate it for `enableEmergency`. The method should send the appropriate command to the drone to trigger an emergency cutout. No further investigation needed beyond reviewing the existing implementation.
