Added a new API for writable property lists across all the basic example object types, preparing for the introduction of a Writable_Property_List property in every object in a future BACnet standard revision.
The lists can be used by backup and restore feature to automatically choose the object property values in the backup that can be restored via internal WriteProperty directly from BACnet CreateObject services with List of Initial Values.
Updated existing device object examples to include these writable property lists.
* Added bacnet_str functions for parsing various numeric strings.
* Renamed BACnet string API to be clearer when no stdlib function exists.
* Fixed incompatible types - from 'BACNET_UNSIGNED_INTEGER *' to 'unsigned long *' warning
* Changed bacnet-str-to functions to use ERANGE for error detection.
* Refactored some apps to use common string parsing for BACnet data types.
* Refactor bacapp_parse_application_data to use bacnet_string_to_unsigned for better clarity
* Added strtol for BACnetEventType.
* Added basic timer object, internal state machine, and unit tests
* Added BACnetTimerStateChangeValue encode, decode, parse, print, and diff with unit tests
* Changed handler of add/remove list element to check if the property is a BACnetLIST
* Added BACnetLIST utility for handling WriteProperty to a list.
* Fixed outlier ReadProperty object handlers to return zero when the RP parameter is NULL.
* Added bacmini example app with minimal analog and binary objects (#934)
* Fixed bacmini app build for Makefile and CMake
* Changed the folder for bacmini application to server-mini
