* Remove the "plist" and "rawcdr" abuse of the "serdata_default" sample
representation.
* Introduce a new "plist" topic type and a new "pserop" topic type. The
former represents parameter lists as used in discovery, the second
arbitrary samples using the serialiser in ddsi_plist.c.
* Introduce sertopics for each of the built-in "topics" used by the DDSI
discovery protocol using the two new topic types, and reference these
in the readers/writers used in discovery.
* Construct and deconstruct the discovery message by using the
conversion routines for these sample types, rather than fiddling with,
e.g., the baroque interface for adding parameter lists to messages.
* As a consequence, it introduces standardized logging of received and
transmitted discovery data and eliminates the annoying "(null)/(null)"
and "(blob)" descriptions in the trace.
* Limits the dumping of octet sequences in discovery data to the first
100 bytes to make the embedded certificates and permissions
documents (somewhat) manageable.
* Eliminates the (many) null pointer checks on reader/writer topics.
* Fixes the printing of nested sequences in discovery data (not used
before) and the formatting of GUIDs.
Various interfaces remain unchanged and so while this removes cruft from
the core code, it moves some of it into the conversion routines for the
new topic types.
It also now allocates some memory when processing incoming discovery
data, whereas before it had no need to do so. Allowing for aliasing of
data in the new sertopics and adding a way to initialize these specific
types on the stack (both minor changes) suffices for eliminating those
allocations.

Ignore logging newlines if nothing is buffered

Suffix data with "(trunc)" one byte earlier
The sample printing code changed over time and now stops as soon as it
can once it has filled up the buffer. As the return value is simply the
number of bytes written, if that number is equal to buffer size less
one (because of the terminating nul) it may or may not have been
truncated, but the likelihood is that it has been. So add the "(trunc)"
suffix once that point has been reached.

This is a workaround for interoperability issues, ultimately driven by a
Windows quirk that makes multicast delivery within a machine utterly
unreliable if the transmitting socket is bound to 0.0.0.0 (despite all
sockets having multicast interfaces set correctly) when there are also
sockets transmitting to the same multicast group that have been bound to
non-0.0.0.0. (Note: there may be other factors at play, but this is
what it looks like after experimentation.)
At least Fast-RTPS in some versions binds the socket it uses for
transmitting multicasts to non-0.0.0.0, so interoperability with
Fast-RTPS on Windows requires us to bind the socket we use for
transmitting multicasts (which was the same as the one we use for
receiving unicast data) also to non-0.0.0.0 or our multicasts get
dropped often.
This would work fine if other implementations honoured the set of
advertised addresses. However, at least Fast-RTPS and Connext (in some
versions) fail to do this and happily substitute 127.0.0.1 for the
advertised IP address. If we bind to, e.g., 192.168.1.1, then suddenly
those packets won't arrive anymore, breaking interoperability.
The only work around is to use a separate socket for sending.

the destination cache of the network stack is in a certain state. The issue
is resolved by binding unicast sockets (incoming unicast and all outgoing
traffic) to the address of the interface instead of inaddr_any (0.0.0.0).
Set the new configuration option internal/BindUnicastToInterfaceAddr to
false to get the old behavior.

This works around a termination issue on Windows caused by the process
sometimes being unable to send a packet to itself to wake up a thread
stuck in a blocking read on a socket.

This commits adds support for the DOMAIN_ID and DOMAIN_TAG parameters in
participant discovery, allowing multiple domains to share a port
number (a feature introduced in DDSI 2.3). The tag can be configured
via Discovery/Tag.
This commit also introduces a setting Discovery/ExternalDomainId that
makes it possible to override the domain id on the network, both in what
is advertised in the DOMAIN_ID discovery parameter and in the
calculation of port numbers. This way a single process can create two
independent domains that talk via the network, which is on occassion
useful in writing tests.

This adds two things to the XSD (and the RNC file and options.md):
* attributes previously missing because of a bug in the conversion
script
* a name space (https://cdds.io/config)
Adding the name spacing requires a different set of attributes at the
top of a configuration file, which in turn need to be ignored by the
configuration parser, and which should be reflected in the configuration
example in the README.

The ``docs/makernc.pl`` perl script can extract the options from the
source code for the configuration processing and turn these into a
GitHub MarkDown document and a RELAX NG Compact form (RNC) description
of the options. Standard conversion tools can be used to turn the RNC
file into an XSD.
Although they are generated by a mechanical transformation, it is not
(yet) part of the build process, in no small part because there no
proper generation and publishing system has yet been set up for the
documentation.
Now that there is an XSD and a Markdown file for discovering the
options, there is no need to retain the configuration editing tool. Any
decent editor will do a better job.
