Enable new callback API

- OnData() channel data handler.
 - ConditionalRun() for devices without incoming data.
 - Header file with common main(), to be extended with getDevice/addCustomOptions.
 - Update examples (MQ/Tutorial3) to use the new API and config.
 - NewSimpleMessage() for simpler creation of small messages (additional copy).
 - Replace SetProperty/GetProperty with fConfig access.
 - Runtime configurable channel names for common devices.
 - Configurable logging interval per channel.
 - FairMQMultiplier for distributing same data to multiple outputs.
 - Cleanup state machine messages.
 - Cmd option to toggle signal handling.
 - Simpler API for send/receive timeouts.
 - Enable --log-to-file.
 - Fix coverity issues, warnings.
 - Various code cleanup and minor tweaks.

## State Machine
Each FairMQ device has an internal state machine:
![FairMQ state machine](../docs/images/fairmq-states.png?raw=true "FairMQ state machine")
The state machine can be querried and controlled via `GetCurrentStateName()` and `ChangeState("<state name>")` methods. Only legal state transitions are allowed (see image above). Illegal transitions will fail with an error.
If the device is running in interactive mode (default), states can be changed via keyboard input:
- `'h'` - help
- `'p'` - pause
- `'r'` - run
- `'s'` - stop
- `'t'` - reset task
- `'d'` - reset device
- `'q'` - end
- `'j'` - init task
- `'i'` - init device
Without the interactive mode, for example for a run in background, two other control mechanisms are available:
- static (`--control static`) - device goes through a simple init -> run -> reset -> exit chain.
- dds (`--control dds`) - device is controled by external command, in this case using dds commands (fairmq-dds-command-ui).
## Examples
A collection of simple examples in `examples` directory demonstrates some common usage patterns of FairMQ.
A collection of simple examples in `FairRoot/examples/MQ` directory demonstrates some common usage patterns of FairMQ.
A number of devices to handle the data from the Tutorial3 FairTestDetector of FairRoot are provided as an example and can be found in `FairRoot/base/MQ` directory. The implementation of the tasks run by these devices can be found `FairRoot/example/Tutorial3`. The implementation includes sending raw binary data as well as serializing the data with either [Boost Serialization](http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/release/libs/serialization/), [Google Protocol Buffers](https://developers.google.com/protocol-buffers/) or [Root TMessage](http://root.cern.ch/root/html/TMessage.html). Following the examples you can implement your own devices to transport arbitrary data.
