Use the threaded version of the FanOut if a pushing feeder is distributed to multiple consumers, so all consumers receive updates immediately.

Split the SCALAR_ACCESSOR macro into SCALAR_OUTPUT and SCALAR_INPUT to prevent output accessors to be created in poll mode (which makes no sense). Since some tests were using this, now instead a DeviceAccessor in poll mode is used for these tests.

- fixed a bug in the FanOut which did not wait for the trigger (since ProcessScalar::receive() does not wait)
- fixed a bug in Application::feedDeviceRegisterToControlSystem() not handling the last arugment (trigger) properly
- improved the output produced with VariableNetwork::dump()

added also the consumer-type variables to the XML file

Add some first code to produce an XML file describing the application variables published to the control system. This is not yet doing anything useful for now...

start the synchronisation thread of the FanOut to "convert" a poll-type feeder into a pushing feeder by putting in an external trigger.

Intermediate commit before the weekend: added options to add an external trigger to a network to handle poll and push properly. Currently it does not work properly.

renamed publishDeviceReadRegister() and publishDeviceWriteRegister() into feedDeviceRegisterToControlSystem() and consumeDeviceRegisterFromControlSystem()

renamed publish() and connectToDevice() into more specific feedToControlSystem()/consumeFromControlSyste() and feedToDevice()/consumeFromDevice()

improved structure of network creation and added a FanOut to distribute values to multiple consumers

Introduced the VariableNetwork describing the connections of variables/accessors before things get actually instantiated. This is needed to generate an XML file containing the published variables based on that information.

This is a first mock implementation with very limited functionality. The idea is based on discussions during the OPC-UA control system adapter kickoff meeting and subsequent personal discussions.

fix for latest version of DeviceAccess: the function replace() has to be used instead of the operator=() to re-assign a register accessor
