* Added basic object-name get for ASCII names to enable free if they were dynamically created. Added unit testing to validate the basic object ASCII object-name API.
* Removed static scope on character array used for name since the array gets copied into characterstring array and static is not needed.
* Added Create/Delete object services to Analog Input, Analog Value, Binary Input, Binary Value, Multistate Input, Multistate Value object examples, and updated their units tests.
* fixed BACnetXYcolor and BACnetColorCommand encode and decoding and improved unit test coverage. Refactored BACnetXYcolor to/from ascii into lighting module.
* added to the color, color temperature, and lighting output objects a fade/ramp/step engine. Added color and color command coercion into the channel object and enabled color temperature object coercion. Added CreateObject and DeleteObject service handling to the color, color temperature, lighting output, and channel objects.
* added blinkt demo app for Raspberry Pi [WIP]
* updated gitignore to simplify handling of apps folder contents
* fixed piface demo build
* added RaspiOS to pipeline for piface and blinkt! demo builds
* added device object timer function for child object types into example Device object. Refactored device object to increment database revision for create or delete object services. Refactored example app/server to use mstimer library and device child object timers.

* added or updated secure the BACnet primitive value decoders - the core codecs - named bacnet_x_decode(), bacnet_x_application_decode() and bacnet_x_context_decode where x is one of the 13 BACnet primitive value names. The updated API includes an APDU size to prevent over-reading of an APDU buffer while decoding. Improved or added unit test code coverage for the BACnet primitive value decoders.
* marked the insecure decoding API as 'deprecated' which is defined in src/bacnet/basic/sys/platform.h and can be disabled during a build.
* added secure decoders for BACnetTimeValue, BACnetHostNPort, BACnetTimeStamp, BACnetAddress, and Weekly_Schedule and improved unit test code coverage.
* improved test code coverage for BACnet objects and properties.
* secured AtomicReadFile and AtomicWriteFile service decoders and improved unit test code coverage.
* secured BACnet Error service decoder and improved unit test code coverage.
