Split the creation of channels and groups as well as the creation of the
session feed buffer into separate routines. Re-allocate the buffer after
reset but do not re-create the channels and groups.
This implementation assumes that after reset() of the input module, the
very same set of channels (including their order, names and enabled
state, as well as group membership) results from processing the
subsequently fed file content. Reading rather different configurations
from the same input file by means of repeated reset and re-read may not
work as expected.
Explicitly check GString pointers for validity before calling glib
routines that would access string content. This silences an assertion
error for a non-fatal runtime condition:
(process:17044): GLib-CRITICAL **: g_string_free: assertion 'string != NULL' failed
Prefer the more portable UINT64_C() macro over the UL suffix when a
literal needs to span "more than 31 bit positions". Adjust other
locations for consistency across the source file.

^~~~~~~~~~~~
Implement an input module for .lpf files, the "LogicPort File" format of
the Intronix LA1034 vendor software. This version supports wires with
enabled and inverted state, compressed samples, signal names, signal
groups (but not multiple assignment), and automatic format detection.
The logic which determines whether "the file header" was completely
received, and sample data can get sent to the session, implements an
assumption in the absence of a better and more reliable condition.
Invalid input gets rejected, but diagnostics is rather limited. Since
all channels get to be the member of a channel group, either specified
by the user in the input file, or arranged for in the input module, the
"missing separator" part of bug 1186 has become obsolete.
