kingst-la2016: shuffle code order to follow application perspective
Sort "set threshold voltage" code blocks into numerical order of voltage
levels for improved readability. It's surprising to find ">= 2.9V" then
"<= -0.4V" and then "between those" at the end.
Move the la2016_has_triggered() routine next to run_state() since both
of them inspect the device's current run state. Closer inspection even
suggests that one is named inappropriately (not renamed in this commit,
to help reviewers).
The purpose of the set_run_mode() routine's argument most probably is
"mode", and not the surprising "fast blinking". Indicators may just be
a byproduct of setting mode to run or halt.
Make the set_defaults() invocation in la2016_init_device() stand out
more perceivably. Don't hide it in a return statement.
Use a symbolic name for the "user specified input threshold" item's
position in the set of choices. Stick with array size for the complete
list of items instead of hiding the size behind an unrelated name. This
improves readability of the config get/set/list routines. Trim a text
line length while we are here.

fixed value derived from currently selected choice out of a premade

dcttech-usbrelay: implement multiplexer driver for USB relay card
Implement support for the "www.dcttech.com USBRelay<n>" card. This V-USB
based HID device communicates HID reports to control up to 8 relays. The
driver depends on the HIDAPI external dependency for maximum portability.
Support for the conn= parameters is limited. A path that HIDAPI can open
is expected, which depends on the platform and HIDAPI implementation,
and may not always be expressed by means of sigrok command line options.
See README.devices for a discussion.
The USB serial number is not considered. This is an implementation
detail of the relay card's firmware. HID reports carry a five character
identifier for the board.
Relay state is cached in the driver. It's assumed that relay state won't
change outside of libsigrok control as long as the device is opened. The
single request to activate/deactivate all relays at once is supported.

hp-3478a: Only match when conn= is given to avoid false probe positives.
The HP 3478A device would not reliably identify by means of SCPI queries. The
previous scan() implementation would have matched any connected SCPI device,
then upset these devices by emitting non-SCPI requests.
Tighten the scope of the hp-3478a probe, only scan for devices when a conn=
spec was provided. This avoids false positives and malfunction of other
devices, and still lets users address the problematic device. This is similar
to serial-dmm and unspecific cables and has proven to work there.

scpi-dmm: add short measurement delay for 34465A
With Keysight 34465A the VOLT:AC and FREQ functions keep suffering from
USB timeouts and pipe errors. Add a 10ms delay between initiating the
acquisition and checking for completion before fetching the result.
The weird thing is that when successful responses are seen after
temporary failure, enlarging the delay does not make them go away.
Instead the USB errors keep moving to a different spot. Measurements do
arrive though, so this is just annyoing but not a blocker.
Experimentation suggests that 200ms timeouts reduce the probability of
these USB communication errors. But if functions tend to respond that
differently, are delay time specs per MQ required? The implementation of
the driver currently assumes a single delay spec.

scpi-dmm: model and MQ dependent delay before measurement
Some models are slow to start a measurement acquisition in specific MQs
(meter functions). An "*OPC?" query went unanswered after "INIT" was
sent. This was observed on 34405A in temperature, frequency, resistance,
AC voltage and current mode.
Add an optional per-model measurement delay that is used when the MQ
specifies that the delay is applicable. Because functions are changed
rarely but measurements are taken many times, only the first reading
is delayed while later readings are seen at the expected interval. Not
delaying the first reading will result in device errors.

In theory there is the question whether previously configured ranges
should be re-used when (exclusively) the MQ is switched. It's assumed
that this is not useful, instead users or their applications should
select the function first and optionally pick the range then. Re-use of
e.g. 10k resistance range when switching to capacitance might be seen as
confusing (and results in errors in the device).
Use the combination of INIT and FETCH? to get measurements. The READ?
request is more complex and might "undo" what INIT already initiated.
