Rework of runtime non-real-time threading, and shared object dynamic loading :
- All exposed operations on PLCObject are now serialized through main thread
(@RunInMain). Only one exception : python trace thread calling _GetDebugData
- Re-loading of same shared object is prevented. dlclose/delte/rewrite/dlopen
don't happen in that case. This is a workaround for some xenomai copperplate
bug triggering segfault, inbetween delete and rewrite.
- Trace thread now waits for data, dies if no data, and dies instead of
suspending as before when no data consumed after 3 seconds.
- Disabled threading in Pyro client
- Enforced auxiliary threads starting sequence : Pyro -> [UI] ->
PLCWorker.RunLoop
IEC 61131-3
===========
IEC-61131 is a normative document provided by the standards organization IEC
(International Electrotechnical Commission) and describing a standard for
implementing programmable controllers.
The part 3 of this document (commonly named IEC 61131-3) specifies syntax and
semantics for programming language for programmable controllers. Beremiz
implements all the languages described in this document.

PLCopen TC6
===========
PLCopen is a vendor- and product-independent worldwide association defining
international standards for various topics related to control programming.
For this purpose, PLCopen has 6 technical committees.
The goal of the sixth committee (TC6) is to define a standard file format,
based on XML, for exchanging programmables controllers programmed using
IEC 61131-3 languages. Beremiz uses this file format for saving the PLC
programs of projects.
