Fixes #39

Test still does not work.
-Unable to get the exception status for the device throwing exception.
-Second device only works it has it's own trigger.

added test for exceptions on write

do not use a device register as a trigger any more

According to ChimeraTK/DeviceAccess#61 Devices will no longer close on their own (e.g. when throwing an exception). The exception handling now takes into account that the device always stays open

added more exception test code which should work but is but. Commented because it completely blocks the test.

Creation of fanOuts is based on externalTriggerImpl (=trigger consumer), not externalTriggerNode (=trigger feeder).
- Fixes connection network but not exception handling.
- Lots of debug output left in the code for further investigation.

  no change to the test sequence yet

- add test for full exception handling

  DeviceModule and ControlSystemModule now do not take the optional prefix argument in their constructors any more. Use the [] operator instead to get the submodule.

- Add ExceptionHandlingDecorator and decorate all device variables with it.

- added more comments
- need to catch exception by reference, else the message seems to be lost
- test if the message is correct
- test if device is really closed and opened again
- changed names of status variables in control system to match the general naming conventions

connect the deviceError module with the control system - otherwise it crashes due to an unconnected variable

- use latest backend factory interface and the CDD
- changed code formatting
