The send() and recv() functions of the backends might require more
information than just a file descriptor, therefore pass the complete
modbus_t structure.

In modbus_flush() we should return the return value of the backend's
flush() function.

Renamed error_print() to _error_print() in order to indicate it's a
private method and make it globally accessible so functions in
modbus-rtu.c and modbus-tcp.c can make use of it as well.

All declarations in modbus-rtu.h and modbus-tcp.h should be inside
MODBUS_BEGIN_DECLS and MODBUS_END_DECLS in order to make that functions
properly accessible in C++ files.

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

If <sys/time.h> is not included before "modbus.h" as struct timeval
is not declared. This behavior was observed while building libmodbus
for QNX.

- partial revert of 93ce13656103cbb459ebd630d055a008dbb059f3
- it was a bit confusing to always edit modbus.h.in
- the header inclusion still unchanged (<modbus.h>)

Idea suggested by Hannu Vuolasaho

- return only useful data client side
- available in TCP when a gateway to RTU is used
- need to add isolated handling of indication/confirmation messages

- more coherent
- namespace
- opaque and smaller context
- usual wording

A new API will be committed to remove the slave in TCP communication.

Original patch by Sisyph (eric-paul).

The function was used only one time.

The ID used at init time will be the device ID of the caller and
the server ID in request functions is the target to reach.

The library is now simpler to include (only one <modbus.h>)
To avoid confusion MB_VERSION defines have been renamed to
LIBMODBUS_VERSION.

This reverts commit df0cf7927249954f15e0aa85b02d21b990fa9af9.
Use <modbus.h> in tests.

This time the change is definitive :)

I don't want to put a burden on build system support anymore

Requests not to send SIGPIPE on errors on stream oriented sockets
when the other end breaks the connection.
