* Added a MS/TP zero-config (automatically choose an unused MAC address) using an algorithm that starts with MAC=64 and waits for a random number of PFM (minimum of 8 plus modulo 64) before attempting to choose a MAC sequentially from 64..127. The confirmation uses a 128-bit UUID with the MSTP Test Request frame. The modifications are in src/bacnet/datalink/mstp.c and src/bacnet/datalink/dlmstp.c modules enabling any device to use zero-config if enabled. A working demonstration is in the ports/stm32f4xx for the NUCLEO board. Complete unit testing is included. Options include lurking forever (wait for a router or another master node before joining) or lurking for a minimum time (enables self forming automatic MAC addressing device nodes).
