Fully configure VFAT based on backend board files

Laurent Petre requested to merge feature/full-vfat-configuration into develop

Description

As described in #18 (closed), this MR aims at storing the full VFAT configuration on the back-end board. Once stored, the configuration file can be used to configure the VFAT in a completely controlled way.

The following breaking changes were introduction:

  1. The configuration file is now named config_OHx_VFATy.cfg. This allows the legacy software to continue to work in parallel with the development software;
  2. The first comment line has been dropped in favor of comments prefixed by #;
  3. The VFAT register name must be "complete", i.e. everything which comes after GEM_AMC.OH.OHx.GEB.VFATy.. This allows the VFAT channel registers to also be set;

In addition, a commented configuration reference file has added to the repository.

Related Issue

Closes #18 (closed), and should help with #9 (closed).

How Has This Been Tested?

This MR has been tested on hardware; all the registers were set as described in the configuration files.
