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.
Adds new routines for converting numeric strings into the
standard epicsInt8, epicsUInt8, epicsInt16, epicsUInt16,
epicsInt32 and epicsUInt32 types, along with Long, ULong,
Double and Float. These all provide error checking and
detection of extraneous characters. The epicsScanDouble
and epicsScanFloat routines originally in epicsStdlib.h
are replaced by macros that call the epicsParse routine,
and this also provides epicsScanLong and epicsScanULong
to match.
A test file is added to ensure conversions work properly
and report appropriate errors. This file also checks the
native strtod() routine if not used to check whether the
epicsStrtod() code is required on this platform.
better interface
2) added errSymLookup function with these improvements
o receive a buffer length from user and therefore never overwrite the users buffer
o return void and always copy a string into the users buffer. If the error code cant
be found then copy in a message with the error code's raw numbers in it.
3) removed prototypes for nonexistent fuinctions from header file
