All link types now have a plink->precord pointer.
Add link support entry tables for const, DB and CA link types.
Route all link I/O options through the new plink->lset.
Introduced error status values for epicsTime routines.
The epicsTimeERROR identifier no longer exists, so code that uses it will
no longer compile (deliberately). Replace all uses of it with a specific
error status value.
Combine recIoc and softDevIoc libraries into dbRecStd
Move base.dbd from ioc/misc/ to std/softIoc/
Generate stdRecords.dbd from the std/rec/Makefile list of record
types instead of hard-coding it in base.dbd
Merge miscIoc rsrvIoc dbtoolsIoc asIoc dbIoc registryIoc dbStaticIoc
into dbCore.
Move ioc/misc/asSubRecordFunctions.c to std/dev/asSubRecordFunctions.c
since it depends on the subRecord type.
Extracted ioc variable definitions from base.dbd into dbCore.dbd
Make the *iSoftCallback devices allocate a single buffer for private
storage instead of several, and cope with calloc failures without
suspending the IOC thread.
Added new PN_LINK type in link.h, make dbStaticLib display it.
Made all device support extended so links can be changed at runtime.
Modified startup so add_record() always called before regular link processing.
Incomplete, stilll need to add MS/MSS/MSI support, currently disabled.
