- Change implementation according to the new specification
- Quick summary of API breaking changes (maybe incomplete):
- preXxx/xxxTransferYyy/postXxx functions have changed interface
- strict requirements when to throw which exception
- strict requirement that VersionNumber is not counting backwards
- rework interface of asyncRead, removal of TransferFuture and SyncNDRegisterAccessor
- introduce DeviceBackend::reportException()
- TransferElement::interrupt() is changed

- TransferGroup: ignore exceptions from CopyRegisterDecorators
- TwoDRegisterAccessor: allow assignment of 2D vector
- LNMBackendChannelAccessor: allow use with wait_for_new_data
- TransferGroup no longer allows to add accessors with wait_for_new_data
- Fix several size and offset checks missing in register accessors of several backends
- Fix several thread safety issues in LNMBackendBitAccessor
- Fix LNM variables filling the application data buffer too early
- PcieBackend: fix throwing exception for small DMA transfers
- Fix several race conditions in tests
- Fix several issues reported by clang address/thread sanitizers
- ExceptionDummyBackend: add support for push-type dummy registers
- DummyBackend: do not clear list of write-callbacks and readonly-addresses in close()
