Incremental updates

Laurent Petre requested to merge feature/incremental-updates into develop

Description

This MR includes various fixes and improvements developed for and during the MWGR3 and during the unavailability of the GE1/1 integration setup in b904. Namely,

  • Go to the "Error" state when an exception is thrown during a scan point transition (but do not stop the run)
  • Leave the user the possibility to power-cycle the links whose GBT unlock during the "Configure" transition
  • Always use the initial OptoHybrid mask from the XML:
    • The code was previously using the OptoHybrid mask from the last iteration, which may or may not correspond to the XML option when the "auto-kill" mode is enabled
  • Set the correct CPT7 MGT polarity for GE2/1
  • Clean-up the XML configuration options
  • Improve the error reporting:
    • Forward only the non-empty error messages to the function manager
    • Add more GBT lock checks while establishing the communication with the front-end
    • Clarify the error messages
  • Various bug fixing:
    • calDataFormat variable type
    • Count the OH from 0 in the monitoring suite web interface
    • Use the Boost version provided by Cactus/IPBus instead of the system version (otherwise two incompatible Boost versions are loaded)
    • Fix an incorrect move semantic during the hardware layout tree loading
  • Use the new AMC13 hostname in the example configuration file:
    • Needed due to the re-installation of the GE1/1 integration setup
