- Introduced a state filed into first generation objects

- Fixed some issues with error returns not being properly handled in devexec
- Fixed a bug in motorlist which caused limit checks to fail
- Fixed an issue with the TDCHM not properly updating the counter
  values on finish
- Readded getHipadabaPar in ChainCallback as this caused a problem in ei
- Made tasdrive ignore sgu, sgl when out of plane not allowed
