Task #11384: Increased ObservationControl timer for sending FINISHED/ABORTED from 10s to 300s to allow more time for FeedbackService to put feedback in OTDB before MoM retrieves it.

Task #9634: removed some of the needed logging to solve the issue. I left the logging of starttime per observation on, which helps a lot to see what macscheduler is doing

Task #9607: added logging in MACScheduler::_updatePlannedList() to identify if the missed observations are due to a potential race-condiction in itsOTDBconnection->getTreeGroup and the timeBeforeStart check

Task #9487: Do not override already set itsQuitReason, and explain EMERGENCY_TIMEOUT when reporting the error

Task #8531: Added unittest for TreeStatusEvent daemon and updated MACScheduler to new getTreeGroup function.

Task #8065: Do not abort if 0 stations are left. Keep aborting when OnlineControl/PythonControl are gone though.

Task #7555: Stop spamming MACScheduler.stdout with messages, since we can now tap them at MessageRouter

Task #7593: autogen creates the protocol files now in the namespace XXX_Protocol. Modified the sources to look in these namespaces.

Task #7360: ObservationControl will wait ObservationControl.finalStateDelay seconds before reporting the final state to the MACScheduler.

Jan David agreed it makes sense, although some software covered is not
currently maintained by the RO software team.
All replacements happen in comments, so this is safe. (viewed svn diff | grep ... by hand)
Command used:

Task #7420: MACScheduler pushes parset on the bus just before starting ObservationControl. Care is taken that the parset is pushed only once.

Task #4323: Clearing startup errors when entering start-fase to prevent false error-report after succesful run.

Task #4323: Clearing start-up errors when entering run-fase to prevent false error-report after succesful run.
