<li>Removed all of the file I/O records from ADBase.template and ADBase_settings.req.
These previously duplicated the records in NDFile.template and NDFile_settings.req,
which was hard to maintain.
IOCs for detector drivers that can do file I/O now need to load NDFile.template,
while those that cannot no longer need to load these records.
They also need to have NDFile_settings.req added to auto_settings.req.
This does not effect the file plugin support, only drivers that directly
do file I/O.</li>
<li>Removed the file I/O PVs from ADBase.adl. Added a related display link
to NDFile.adl.</li>

MarCCD and Pilatus detectors setting this to 0 will disable reading the disk files
after collection. This can be used to reduce overhead when EPICS is being used just
for control, rather than to access the data. </li>
<li>Added variant of NDPluginDriver::createFileName that returns the filePath and
fileName separately, rather than a complete file name including the path.</li>
