Description
This MR aims at adding a new feature to automatically power the front-end LV via DIM commands to the DCS. When the feature is enabled, all OptoHyrbids known in the layout tree are sent an ON DIM command at configuration.
Note that, in order to maintain a minimal configuration time, the simultaneous DIM commands have been re-enabled (after careful synthetic tests) and the power-on sequence is performed in the background of the back-end board recovery.
A few additional bug fixes related to the build system, CI, and example recovery procedure are included.

How Has This Been Tested?
Deployed in production in CMS and working like a charm. No crashes due to the simultaneous DIM commands are observed.
