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.

- 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.

move ApplicationModule::appConfig() to ModuleImpl::appConfig() so it can also be used from ModuleGroup

add ConfigReader.h to ApplicationCore.h, as the ConfigReader is now more strongly integrated with ApplicationCore

Implemented first part of #17: A HierarchyModifier can now be specified instead of the eliminateHierarchy boolean flag. No new functionality is yet added.

- 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

- treat the two directions of bidirectional variables properly in testable mode (i.e. as individual variables with each one counter)
- fix a data race in testable mode in case a bidirectional variable rejected a value (was not holding a required lock)

Fixed getCurrentVersionNumber() and setCurrentVersionNumber() so they always get/set the version number of the ApplicationModule and not e.g. of a VariableGroup.

- implement ThreadedFanOut version with return channel
- add test for ThreadedFanOut with return channel

bidirectional variables: pass on version numbers in modules from the last blocking read on to any write operations, to resolve conflicts of concurrent variable updates properly

fixed testable mode for bidirectional variables: the return channel of control system to application variables must not increment the testableMode_counter
