This moves all the things and rules logic away from NymeaCore
into their respective modules where it belongs.
One major change is the removal of the removePolicy functionality.
This was somewhat broken as it was only working for rules but not
for all the other modules like scripts, experiences etc. After
an attempt to create something that works with all modules it
really seemed that this does not make a lot of sence after all,
given that updating rules would in most cases leave something
very broken behind and removing them was the only sane thing to do.
On the other hand, experience plugins may not work well with such
a policy eithre as they may require to do their own special thing.
So in the end the removePolicy was dropped altogether. Apps should
instead figure out themselves what removal of a thing may imply and
inform the user about that beforehand.
Some plugins may support network discovery, but may not be able to clearly
identify a device and return a list of discovery results that may
be the device, but also may not. As this breaks some app flows they
will be marked as "weak" discovery and can be excluded from said setup
wizards.
NOTE: This commit does not bump the API version even though it should
to avoid merge conflicts with other branches that do bump the version.
Up until now, nymea would generate EventTypes for every StateType
as well as emit an Event (along with a StateChanged notification) for
every change. This results in a lot of duplicated network traffic
which is of not much use. The StateChanged notification contains
all the information in the Event too and nymea:app actually never
really used Events for state changes.
This commit removes the events from the ThingClass, making it a lot
smaller and stops emitting Events for state changes.
As this is breaking the behavior, the JSONRPC API major version
is bumped.
This allows JsonHandlers to set a hash for certain API calls.
Clients can use this information to load data for such a call
from a cache instead of calling the method over the network
just to get the same result as last time.
