- reformatted source code

- 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

fix issue that a double "-l" can appear in the Makefile config shell scripts for libraries which already contain the -l

do not create TestableModeAccessorDecorator for unidirectional PVs with both directions enabled (was hitting an assert)

- 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 bidirectional direct application to control system connections (without any FanOut in between)

extend test of bidirectional variables to include plain direct Application to ControlSystem connections (no FanOut etc. involved)

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

extended the test to make sure also the "observer" variables in the control system show the right values

- 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
