hameg-hmo: Fix index access for models with 2 pods / 16 digital channels
Fix the code which registers the name of the second pod for digital
probes. The previous implementation registered the first pod twice, and
lost the reference to the second pod. No harm was done, none of the
supported models declared support for two pods so far.
Factor out a channel to group mapping in the registration of digital
channels, while we are here.

deree-de5000: rename to serial-lcr, update configure logic
The former DER EE DE-5000 driver was a very thin wrapper around the
ES51919 LCR meter chipset. None of its source was specific to the
deree-de5000 device. In fact it contained code for all currently
supported LCR meters, and it's expected that all LCR meters which
will get added in the future will fit in as well.
Follow the serial-dmm model. Rename the src/hardware/deree-de5000/
directory to serial-lcr/. Update the configure logic. Although the
source directory and the configure option are named serial-lcr, the
LCR meter still is used by specifying the "deree-de5000" device driver
(which just happens to reside in the serial-lcr driver sources, among
others).

es51919 lcr: unbreak channel setup after successful detection
Commit 6bcb3ee8763bb introduced initial support for the Cyrustek ES51919
chipset. Its setup_channels() routine used to init a variable to assume
failure, then a loop added channels and changed the value to success.
Commit 5e23fcab889c6 changed channel setup to never fail, but kept the
initialization with an error code. Which prevented the operation of
successfully detected LCR meters.
Remove the no longer needed variable, instead always return success from
an operation which cannot fail.

output/ascii: add support for user configurable character set
Since tastes and requirements might differ, introduce support for a
user specified character set in the construction of ASCII art graphs
of signal levels. The syntax is "charset=<low><high>[<fall><rise>]",
the default remains backwards compatible with existing consumers.
In comparison to assuming a fixed character set, this change addresses
several distinct aspects:
Users can adjust the output for "higher visual contrast", or "straight
lines" instead of dotted patterns, or "increased difference in height"
for low and high signal levels, or "filled" (block like, "wall of text")
appearance of periods with high levels. User adjustable characters are
needed, as no single fixed set can satisfy the differing expectations.
Perception of the output heavily depends on specific terminals and fonts
in use.
Then there is the issue of levels versus edges, and how their timing
relates. By default edges are drawn at a point in time where the signal
was sampled and was deteremined to already _have_ changed and have
settled to the new level, which means that the position of edges in the
resulting graph might be off by up to one sample period. Strictly
speaking, the available set of samples only contains levels, and does
not hint where exactly an edge might have occured. Though this might be
considered rather nitpicky, representing the graph without edges does
better reflect the input data, and might simplify postprocessing.
Compare the previously only supported format (still the default, -O ascii):

asix-sigma: fix buffer length check in register write helper
Fix the array size check in the sigma_write_register() routine. The
'len' parameter specifies the number of bytes to write, while the 'buf'
array holds one nibble per array item.
The previous implementation (commit e8686e3ae36c1) switched to a
constant size and made the buffer large enough so that no existing
request would exceed the buffer, fixing an overflow that was present
before that commit. But the most recent size check was incomplete and
might erroneously succeed for larger amounts of write data.
It's assumed that the issue which gets addressed here never occured in
practice. The constant-size buffer could hold up to 39 bytes of input
data in their transport representation, while the largest data that was
passed to the write routine is six bytes (trigger LUT params).

Have remaining drivers default to digits=2 for analog values.
The default so far was 0, which meant there would be no significant
digits at all, yielding results that looked strange/wrong to the user.
Long-term all remaining drivers should be fixed to use the actual,
correct digits and spec_digits values according to the device's
capabilities and/or datasheet/manual. Until that is done, a default
of digits=2 is used as a temporary workaround.
