goal:
 * increase abstraction and make code easier to read
 * take advantage of stronger type system

This bypasses the frustrating cases where a snap file (particularly safe.snap) doesn't set the right BURT_RESTORE variable.

Also, change defaults for DACKILL_PANIC variables to NORMAL, and BPTIME variables to 600 sec.

 * Removed the mx_stream/dx_stream directories.
 * Removed cmake detection for mx/omx.
 * Removed some checks for older C++ atomics.

 * simple process management when a test needs multiple processes
 * temp directory management (and cleanup)
 * scriptable
 * less verbose than bash

The zmq streamers where kept around as a off the shelf method to move data for small (test) systems.  However the pub/sub code appears to work better, and has no distribution limitations either.  So remove the zmq code in favor of the pub/sub.

  - EDCU sync source is now carried through via EPICS environment variable
  - install changed to only load EPICS for EDCU ie no longer need to hand edit startup file

Use transport-independent RPC package (tirpc) if available,
otherwise use RPC headers if still available.
Mostly for non-Debian compiles, as Debian asserts non-default
flag in glibc to retain the old RPC support

Introducing a new edu application.

This is a regular application, based on the edcu iocsh application, but
without being an epics iocsh.  This is oriented towards a quick deployment
of an epics->frame archiver w/o setting up an edc model.

of an epics->frame archiver w/o setting up an edc model.

The test is to:

* start a simulated IFO (via fe_multi_stream_test)
* start daqd
* read live data from nds
* verify the data

This updates the NDS2 client detection, reimplements fe_stream_check_nds,
and adds some test harness logic.

Updated the FindEPICSBase.cmake to make full targets for ca, cas, Com, gdd.

This brings in:
* Updates to the cmake build to support FrameCPP 2.6+
* Various startup scripts for Debian8 & Gentoo 3.0
* Daqd files updated to match branch 3.5
* Moved over the ix/zmq/mx stream work from 3.5
* The split of daq_core.h into daq_core.h & daq_core_defs.h to
centralize declarations.

Removed ezca.h from skeleton.st.
Update to GDSTP MEDM screen generation code.

Added cmake detection for dolphin.  Currently the cmake is hardcoded for
an IX adapter and the sisci library.

Added ix_fb_rcv and zmq_rcv_ix_xmit as cmake built targets.

Updated the ix_stream/zmq_stream makefiles to use the zmq_transport files.

Minor changes to make sure that zmq_fe/zmq_thread/zmq_rcv_ix_xmit/ix_fb_rcv
populate headers and lay out data in the same way.

Added test code to ix_fb_rcv to read data from an mbuf instead of dolphin
to allow debugging on a non-dolphin system. -B sets the source mbuf name.

Allowed added the -b flag to zmq_rcv_ix_xmit/ix_fb_rcv to allow overriding
the mbuf that is used.

Found that ix_fb_rcv was always copying the 1st buffer/stride/cycle from the
daq_multi_cycle_data_t structure in the dolphin, fixed it to push out the
cycle it was claiming to copy over.

At least for testing purposes we need zmq_recv to build on gcc 4.4, so
make it work on the older gcc.  The code still requires c++0x/c++11 but
adds a work around for std::atomic not being available.

If built without zmq present the src/zmq_stream will not be built and the daqd builds will use a run_number_client that always returns a run number of 0. This is in response to a request to build the daqd variants w/o having a hard zmq dependency.

The change has been done to both the CMake and autotools build systems.

Also adjusts the build system to use the vendored copy of the zmq
bindings if the zmq.hpp file cannot be found.
