Values like '-0.1' would be parsed as being positive, as the integral
type does not discern +0 and -0. Also allow values without leading
integral value, to match behaviour of strtod/sr_atof.
The version text length check fails for git setups that use more digits
in abbreviated hashes, as is recommended by e.g. the Linux kernel project.
Raise the upper limit for acceptable version strings, and add comments
on how the limits were determined. The test still might fail in setups
of slightly different configuration, but now it's easier to see why the
test failed, and how to adjust the test.

The method accepts strings with numbers in scientific or normal notation,
e.g. -1.25 or 3.37e-6. The numeric range is limited by the sr_rational
range, i.e +-9.2e18, resolution is ~19 digits.
Since Autoconf places some important feature flags only into the
configuration header, it is necessary to include it globally to
guarantee a consistent build.
This requires sr_hw_cleanup_all() and sanity_check_all_drivers()
to also take a context.
The (runtime) generation of the driver list now happens in sr_init()
and sr_driver_list() always returns that pre-generated list. This fixes
a segfault when (correctly) invoking multiple sr_init() and sr_exit()
calls with different contexts (caught by the unit tests).
This fixes bug #565.
Also, consistently use 'ch' for channel variables. This matches how we
consistently use sdi, devc, and so on all over the code-base.
This fixes parts of bug #259.
Instead of >= 44 Makefile.am's we now only have one top-level
Makefile.am, and use the 'subdir-objects' automake option to
handle the build via non-recursive (auto)make.
This has the advantage of fewer (boilerplate or other) files and less
clutter in general, as well as performance advantages since the new
setup can build many files in parallel (with 'make -j'), not only 2 or 3
files within the same (e.g. hardware/xxxx/* subdirectory) and also since
we no longer need to build intermediate libtool helper libs per subdirectory.
A quick, non-scientific test build on a quad-core laptop with 'make -j 4'
yields a build time reduction from 35s to 19s.
All autotools features that worked before are still intact without any
regressions, including the Make targets 'install', 'uninstall', 'check',
'dist', 'clean', 'distclean' and so on, as well as all the usual portability
handling (build works on any OS, with any Make implementation such as
GNU Make or BSD Make, with any shell such as sh/ksh/zsh/bash/dash, etc. etc.)
and features such as out-of-tree build support, cross-compile support,
testsuite support (also with colored output), "silent make rules", etc. etc.
