Updates to some BURT related functions in the EPICS sequencer.

Jonathan Hanks requested to merge jonathan-hanks/advligorts:more_epics_seq_work into master
  • Remove plain char arrays from writeTable2File, replace with fixed_string.
  • Rework encodeBURTString to take fixed_string inputs
    • Update it to have no failure cases. This is done by replacing pointers with references and putting compile time checks in on input lengths.
    • Put encodeBURTString under test.
  • Minor updates to fixed_string
    • introduce begin()/end() for range for loop support and empty() to clarify code.
    • introduce an operator+=(char) for appending a character at a time.
  • Updates to the parseLine function
    • put parseLine under test
    • Fixed an overflow issue in parseLine when there is a quoted word that is longer than the output buffers.
    • Fixed an issue with parsing where the quotes were returned in the output if the first word was quote escaped.
    • Reworked it to use fixed strings and vectors instead of 6 char* out parameters.
  • Moved encodeBURTString and parseLine to burt_file.hh
    • Put them in a BURT namespace
    • Renamed BURT::encodeBURTString -> BURT::encodeString
