Closes #379

If the return channel of a FeedingFanOut was removed because it is
connected to the control system but not mapped there, the _returnSlave
is not set and hence all read operations on it were crashing.

fix(project-template): find pattern in coding style check

We were holding an std::vector of an incomplete type
(VariableNetworkNode) in a struct (ProcessVariableProperties), which
is not allowed. This fix changes it into an std::vector of shared_ptrs.
Since we are exposing this vector via ProcessVariableProxy::getNodes(),
this presents a breaking API change. Since this is used mostly
internally, this should not break much.

Fixes #8357

Fixes #7879

This helps in two ways:
1. Doxygen is confused if there are multiple class defintions with the
   same name, which happens frequently in tests, e.g. "ModuleA"
2. Doxygen shows rather prominently all classes defined in the tests
   when viewing the Class List, while the important classes are "hidden"
   at first below the ChimeraTK namespace.

update project template

The fix in the DeviceManager is more like a work-around for a false
positive of gcc 13.

* most useful with StatusOutputs, where automatic propagation of
  'data invalid' status is often not wanted
* Change default behavior of StatusOutput and StatusWithMessage.
  By default, they no longer propagate DataValidity=invalid of owning module.
  They still propage DataValidity=invalid of explicitly set for the output.
* Adapt test of DataValidity propagation for StatusOutput
* Adapt test of StatusMonitor to new StatusOutput behaviour

"!sometag" is a negated tag which annihilates with "sometag"
negated tags can be added like normal tags, and are used to remove their counterparts
