Slow Controls Software Upgrade

We switched to the spare slow controls computer that is running Windows 10 IoT Enterprise LTSC, 21H2 (OS build 19044.4780), and the most recent TwinCAT 3.1 (4026.19.0). This TwinCAT version uses a packet manager and has changed the install directory to C:\Program Files (x86)\Beckhoff\TwinCAT. It supports Visual Studio 2022 and the new Altium workflow. 

One new "feature" is that the PLC boot project needs to be activated in a separate step (previous versions would do this automatically after a build). We updated the install scripts to accommodate this.

We also tried a new TcIoc that was linked against EPICS 7, but it crashed during SDF restore repeatedly.  We reverted back to the previous version linked against 3.15.9.
