Previously we could create applications without PV manager if there were
no connections to the CS. Now with the new connecting scheme, this will
always be the case so we need to have a PV manager by the time
initialise (the place where the connections happen) is called.

They were previously hidden by the "BUG found" message in
ApplicationBase due to the missing call to shutdown(). This is now being
called automatically in the Application destructor if the application
was not yet started fully, in which case this is ok to do there
(calling shutdown before destroying the Application data members is
important only if threads have been started already).

While at it, fix linter issues in ModuleGroup as well

	- change structure of the project, unify CMakeLists.txt, rename files.
	- remove defineConnections overloading, use ctk::ConnectingDeviceModule instead of ctk::DeviceModule
	- add option to pass name of application in the constructor

Modernise interface of status monitors and add tests of initial value propagation and data validity propagation (#8279). Improve code formating/readability.
