Updated EPICS/TwinCAT interface and new PLC information

The TwinCAT/EPICS interface was updated to version 1.1 which includes an alias feature for symbols and structure items. This now makes it possible to export PCAL channels under the system CAL. See also here.

New PLC information has been added to describe the runtime and each configured online task. The update rate for the latency readbacks has been increased to 1Hz.

Previously, it was possible to circumvent the configuration control by making online changes and bypassing the installation scripts. The installation scripts will patch the svn revision number into an EPICS channel, if they were run from a fully updated source tree. A subsequent online change is now recorded and reported as a code error.
