The Soft Channel device support requests pass-1 initialization.
It no longer needs to initialize the INP link or allocate the
array buffer itself, these are taken care of elsewhere.
The record code uses PACT to remember that the device must be
initialized again in pass 1.
Allowing this while expanding DBD files for IOCs can insert other
device supports before of the Base "Soft Channel" ones, making the
other type the default. Adds a note that DBD file order matters.
Fixes lp: #1908305
This fixes github issue #97:
Reading into an aai record from a compress or histogram or subArray record
could cause a segfault if the aai record was initialized before the
linked one.

* githubbhill/timestamp-before-outlink:
Update RELEASE_NOTES for timestamp-before-outlink
Patch record processing routines to update timestamp before processing outlinks
Use epicsFindSymbol() to build a dynamic and idempotent equivalent
to the code generated by registerRecordDeviceDriver.pl
Also add runRegistrarOnce() to prevent registrars
from running multiple times, except from unittest code.
