Since input modules determine a samplerate by reading from their
file format (or having it overridden with an option), they need
to pass this up to the frontend.
I had a binary file that I needed to decode using UART decoder. UART
decoder needs to know the sample rate for the data, but currently it's
not possible to pass parameters to input formats and so the "binary"
file format always sets the samplerate to 0.
This patch adds the possibility to append a colon-separated list of
key=value options to the -I argument, in the same way -d supports it.
Also, it makes the "binary" format support the "samplerate" option.
I included the GHashTable containing input format options directly in
the sr_input struct. I'm not sure if that's the right way to do it. I
saw that -d uses a much more elaborate system with device capabilities
and typed options, but that seemed like an overkill for input formats.
All frontends will have to include <libsigrok/libsigrok.h> from now on.
This header includes proto.h and version.h, both installed from the
distribution into $INCLUDE/libsigrok/ as well.
The only dynamically changed header is now version.h, which has both
libsigrok and libtool compile-time versions in it.
This will come back in some form or another later, but for now
don't clutter the API with non-working stuff. Removing stuff from APIs
is not possible without breaking the API, adding stuff later is simpler.
