This is an older manual test to compare dbLoadTemplate to compare to
msi's output. However, it does not link properly with dbCore due to
the rewriting of dbLoadRecords, so it is being removed.
This allows dbLoadTemplate to search through either a custom-provided
list of paths, or through paths provided by the environment variable
EPICS_DB_INCLUDE_PATH.

Add OUTP link field to xRecord
xRecord::process() puts VAL to the OUTP link
jlinkz writes the output value to the record's own PHAS field
Correct the dbFastPutConvertRoutine lookup
Test sets OUTP link, processes record and confirms that PHAS was set
The handling of N-to-M array compression was broken with the addition
of the partial buffer option, which broke the bounds check that was
being used.
Note that this also makes the partial buffer option more consistent;
if, for example, you have
```
record(compress, foo) {
field(ALG, "N to 1 Average")
field(INP, "bar NPP")
field(NSAM, 2)
field(N, 2)
field(PBUF, YES)
}
```
(with `bar` having, e.g. length 3), then this will now behave as
expected on both of the samples.
If a sub record has an invalid INPx link, it was silently failing (and
not running the proc function). This change plumbs in the error, so
the put fails and the user knows something went wrong.
Note that it is not really a circular buffer in this case, but
a full reset of the buffer to the beginning. This matches the
documentation, but it seems valuable to add an explicit test for
this case.
