* Move Mppt logic to subclass
* Added Definitions for Shunts and restructering
* First integration of SmartShunt data into Web Interface
* Code cleanup
* VE.Direct: whitespace cleanup
* VE.Direct: manage HardwareSerial in unique_ptr
* VE.Direct: _efficiency is only needed by MPPT
* VE.Direct: keep as many members private as possible
* VE.Direct: use int8_t for pins (as before)
* VictronSmartShunt: _verboseLogging is not used
* VE.Direct: OR (off reason) is MPPT specific
it also applies to Phoenix inverters and Smart BuckBoost, but since
there is no support for those, the code is moved to the MPPT controller.
* Added Shunt alarms to liveview
Changed from double to int for several readings
* Update build.yml to allow manual builds

this avoids the debug buffer being overrun if verbose logging is
disabled in particular. that would happen because the buffer would
only be reset if verbose logging was enabled but filled in any case.
Due to side effects it is possible that the inverter receives the request but the DTU does not receive the answer. In this case the DTU would resend the request but the inverter would generate a event log entry (DTU command failed) because it received the message twice.
* VE.Direct: reset state machine on timeout
there will never be a large gap between two bytes of the same frame.
if such a large gap is observed, reset the state machine so it tries
to decode a new frame once more data arrives.
this is helpful in case of corrupted data that prevents the state
machine of transitioning to the final state even though the VE.Direct
data producer is done sending bytes that belong to the same frame.
* VE.Direct: print problems to MessageOutput
this includes the web console in particular, where many users have
access to while the serial console is not attached or monitored.
* VE.Direct: collect serial input into buffer and print
should help debug issues for users.
* VE.Direct: implement and use verbose logging switch
It can sometimes occour that the DevInfo request returns invalid data. Currently this is identified if the firmware build year is < 2016. In this case the package will be re-requested now.
* DPL: implement verbose logging switch
* MQTT: implement verbose logging switch
* power meter: implement verbose logging switch
* Hoymiles lib: implement verbose logging switch
* cpp linting: "final" makes "virtual" and "override" redundant
... however, using only "final" is not as verbose.
This is required to successfull move the inverter to another frequency and then polling it. Without this command its not even possible to poll a inverter.
Fixes#1127
* VE.Direct: remove polling interval
the polling interval was meant to limit the amount of MQTT updates.
however, that is already controlled by the global MQTT publish interval.
the removed interval was instead used to limit polling of the VE.Direct
UART for incoming data.
the Victron device sends data unsolicited. the VeDirectFrameHandler does
not implement any polling mechanism. no data is ever sent to the Victron
device.
what the removed polling interval did was cause a buffer overrun of the
HardwareSerial class, since the incoming data was not processed in time.
so every five seconds, we read a whole valid VE.Direct frame, plus some
old data, which was not a whole frame, leading to VE.Direct error
messages to pop up.
with the polling interval removed, no framing errors are reported, and
instead we gain new data from the charge controller approximately ever
two seconds -- for free.
* VE.Direct: change texts to correct VE.Direct capital letters
* VE.Direct: improve "UpdatesOnly" switch labels
especially since the publish interval setting is gone, the label makes
it hard to comprehend what the switch does. update the texts to better
explain what the switch is used for.
use the same text on the VE.Direct info view.
* VE.Direct: use StatusBadge on info view
there were custom badges to indicate the VE.Direct settings. replace
those by the common StatusBadge to make then look the same as the other
badged on the info views.
