The index variable shadowed a variable in the standard library causing
warnings. Renaming the 'index' variable to 'idx' resolves the issue.

Fix EXXX values defined in Microsoft C Runtime 10

Add macros in libmodbus.txt and:
- modbus_get_byte_from_bits.txt
- modbus_get_float.txt
- modbus_reply.txt
- modbus_reply_exception.txt
- modbus_set_bits_from_byte.txt
- modbus_set_bits_from_bytes.txt
- modbus_set_float.txt

Avoid incompatibility with GPLv2 program. This change has been approved by
Tobias Doerffel, Florian octo Forster and Hannu Vuolasaho.

modbus_set_slave must be used to set the slave ID of the remote
device to talk in master mode and to set the internal slave ID in
slave mode.

If you talk to several devices, you need to call modbus_set_slave
each time the following requests must be sent to another device.

All private functions and constants are now prefixed by _.
The modbus protocol uses entry points to call specific functions.
