Fixed a type confusion between int64_t (aka long int on 64 bit platforms) and long long int. The types are not identical (in the C++ sense) but bit-compatible. ChimeraTK expects int64_t while DOOCS expects long long int.

add enable_latest_cxx_support.cmake and added a comment to enable_cxx11_support.cmake to no longer use is.

Ignore configuration files for Visual Studio Code.

fixed another uncought exception when converting e.g. an Inf from double to float (was still occurring for D_spectrum)

Do not stop server (even through assert -> undefined behaviour without Debug flags!) when trying to create a string array. Instead the property is simply ignored and a warning is printed.

Temporary roll-back to the periodic update polling instead of the readAny()-based update logic. This is necessary, since the readAny() implementation seems to be too slow for bigger servers like the LLRF server. A proper solution should be found to improve the performance of readAny() for larger number of variables.

removed the not necessary experimental switch. The readAny in control system adapter does not have the flag because it is the default behaviour

- fixed last tests which were not using timeout based checks

introduced flag to indicate when doocs initialisation is done. Removed all sleeps in the server based tests.
