- new function modbus_reply_exception
- unit test

- MODBUS_GET_INT32_FROM_INT16
- MODBUS_GET_INT16_FROM_INT8
- MODBUS_SET_INT16_TO_INT8
- check the trame length before indexing in unit-test-server

- new public function
- change unit-test-server.c to be transport layer independant (query
  and header_length)

The goal of this rewriting is to avoid the timeouts on the receiving
of exceptions and to be more robust on bad requests. Some devices
use the exception MODBUS_EXCEPTION_ACKNOWLEDGE to response to some
valid requests, so in this case, you'll really appreciate this
change!

- Slower! More system calls are used.
- The code is cleaner and easier to understand.
- Really faster when an exception occurs.
- Fix unit test of bad request in RTU

It was not possible to use libmodbus outside of projects without
config.h file.

The inclusion has been removed from the public header.

These functions have no meaning in RTU so it's better to specialize
the names and remove them from the backend.

- remove the functions from the backend
- update tests to handle RTU mode (master and slave)
- add command line options to tests (rtu or tcp)

- check strlcpy in configure.ac
- test for empty device string
- test truncated device string

When unitialized the socket can be 0 and write calls success.

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.

- move termios header in RTU backend
- move TCP headers in TCP backend
- use native serial on Win32 for Cygwin
- avoid too many defines

This change fixes a compilation problem in MinGW. As general rule,
each header must be as independent as possible.

Rename the function _modbus_tcp_init to _modbus_tcp_init_win32 and
warp the call with #ifdef.

Before using any functions of the Win32 Socket API we first have to
initialise it by calling WSAStartup(). Fixes non-working tests on native
Win32.

Some small modifications were neccessary to make libmodbus build using
a MinGW (cross-)compiler. Libtool is now configured to build DLL files
on Win32. The wsock32 library has been added to the list of libraries
to link against.

Added support for native Win32 based on
https://code.launchpad.net/~thepyper/libmodbus/win32-native
This mainly affects the RTU implementation as the TCP/IP socket
interface is the same thanks to the winsocks library. The interface
for using the serial port is completely different on Win32 and is now
implemented accordingly.

Introduced the select() operation for backends as the WAIT_DATA macro
approach is not very extensible and causes trouble when adding platform-
specific codepaths.

On Win32 the second argument to recv() and send() is not a void pointer
but a char pointer, therefore cast the buffer from uint8_t to char.

There are several header files that are already included in modbus.h
and thus do not have to be included in the C files.

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.
