Qmi

Added

- Base class for Newport single axis motion controllers `Newport_Single_Axis_Motion_Controller`.
- Newport SMC100CC controller driver `Newport_SMC100CC`.
- Newport CMA25CCL linear actuator.

Changed

- Added optional `btstat` and `adcoffs` parameters for DIM3000 driver. Now works with ADRV5.
- Newport CONEX-CC controller inherits from `Newport_Single_Axis_Motion_Controller`.
- Added default baudrate of 115200 to Thorlabs TC200 driver.

Fixed

- ADBasic compiler now correctly doesn't fail compilation on warnings only.
- ADBasic compiler now correctly parses `fixme` warning.
- qmi/tools/proc.py: get child pid when in WINENV. This fixes the incorrect error message on starting of a service, when using Windows virtual environment.

Added

- Added client for Newport AG-UC8. `qmi_newport_ag_uc8`.
- A new warning pattern "fixme" matching added to `qmi/tools/adbasic_compiler.py` function `_parse_stderr_lines`. It now also recognizes patterns starting with "<hex_code>:fixme"
- Added unit-tests for Thorlabs instruments TC200, TSP01, TSP01B and K10CR1.
- For K10CR1, one way to raise QMI_TimeoutException was added to _wait_message, so that the function description is valid.
- Meanwhile the same exception was removed from _send_message as it will be handled in _read_message already.
- Made `AdbasicCompilerException` RPC compatible by adding a custom `__reduce__` method to pack the arguments in a tuple.
- Unittests for qmi/tools/proc.py.

Removed

- The 'toolage' folder has been removed and contents moved to qid-utilities.
- removed matplotlib from install_requires in setup.py, and added classifier for Python v3.11.
- `qmi/gui` reference in `run_docs_sphinx.sh`

Fixed

- Some additional PicoQuant license text fixes and other typo fixes.

Added

- Included full coverage unit-tests for the PtGrey BlackFly cameras.
- Included full coverage unit-tests for the PhysikInstrument E-873 Servo Controller.
- Adding acknowledgements, licensing and copyright (waiver) to the QMI.
- Added Parallax USB Propeller QMI driver.
- Adding the licence referrals into PicoQuant modules.
- Added two new functions, `get_phase` and `set_phase` to Rigol DG4102 QMI driver.
- Added unit-tests for this instrument.

Removed

- Removed installing `libhdf5-dev` linux package, and `ldconfig` steps in the CI YAML script as the latest Python 3.11 release now has applicable python-hdf5 package wheel that works without pre-installed libraries
