This driver has been unmaintained for years, and was never good code
to begin with. It's also questionable whether it was ever useful,
particularly with the demo driver now supporting various analog
signalling.
This somewhat naively copies whatever it gets into the output, regardless
of how many channels are in there, or which ones are enabled. Not sure
what the best way to deal with that is, but for now you have to feed it
a channel setup the Chronovu software can read.

la8: Add support for the ChronoVu LA16.
The ChronoVu LA16 is a new logic analyzer from ChronoVu with some
differences in features compared to the LA8, e.g.
- Supports 16 channels (instead of 8).
- Max. 200MHz samplerate (instead of 100MHz).
- Supports state triggering (low and high channel value) and edge triggering
(rising or falling edge), the LA8 only supports state triggering.
This driver now supports both the LA8 and LA16, but it needed a few
changes:
- Add support for detecting multiple device instances at all.
- Add support for both LA8 and/or LA16 devices being detected.
- Add a device profile struct for LA8-/LA16-specific device properties.
- Move the samplerates list to devc (it's different for LA8 and LA16).
- Split scan() into two functions, one for scanning, one for adding a device.
- Expand some variables and fields from uint8_t to uint16_t in order to
support 16 channels.
- Update the samplerate related functions to support the LA16's 200MHz.
- Various other minor updates in order to better handle both device types.
- Various error handling improvements and simplifications.
- Also, replace time() with g_get_monotonic_time() everywhere.
This also fixes bug #247 (which was related to incorrect handling of
resources during scan and open of the device, which was exposed by
PulseView allowing multiple consecutive scan/close/open calls).

Replace 'probe group' with 'channel group' everywhere.
The name 'probe' (and thus 'probe group') is a relic from the times when
sigrok was mostly about logic analyzers. Nowadays we support a lot more
device types where 'probe' is not really a good term and 'channel' is
much better suited.

Switch to a non-recursive automake setup.
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.

input/vcd: Remove debug output from inner loops.

These commands are superfluous and do not seem to make sense in

vcd: Output timestamp only once per change.
Avoid writing a new timestamp for every changed signal if multiple
signals change state simultaneously. Also, keep signal transitions
on the same line with their timestamp to make the output easier to
inspect in a text editor. (VCD does not care whether newlines or
spaces are used to separate tokens.)

vcd: Fix output for more than 8 channels.
(receive): Use probe index for sample byte selection too, not just
for bit selection. Also simplify the indexing expressions a bit.
This fixes the problem of incorrect output for probes indices 8 to
31.
Also, use double rather than float in the timestamp calculation,
and format the result directly as floating point number rather than
converting it back to uint64_t.
Additionally, make sure that the state of all signals is written
for the very first sample in the stream. This fixes the problem
that signals would be displayed as indeterminate until the first
change.
(context.samplecount): Make the sample counter part of the context
struct, rather than keeping it as a global static.
