- Update project files to include new test suites and ensure proper build integration.
Add async methods for iPerl communication and update simulation logic:
- Extend `IperlHead` with async methods for reading opto data and volumes (`DataEntry_ReadSerialNumberAsync`, `DataEntry_BeginVolumeAsync`, `DataEntry_EndVolumeAsync`).
- Add support for async serial number reading in `CycleBgEnForm`, implementing real-time updates for `regReaders`.
- Enhance `FlyingStartStopTestOp` and `StandingStartStopTestOp` with simulation timers for processing time (25 seconds).
- Improve exception handling and debug logs across modules (`DataEntry_ReadSerialNumber`, `ReadOptoDataWithTimeoutAsync`).
- Introduce optional `regReaders` parameter to `CycleBgEnForm` constructor for enhanced flexibility in device handling.
- Update `EntryFormNoStartEnd` to conditionally use `regReaders` when initializing `CycleBgEnForm`.
- Add `Set by RegReader` action type to `DEItem`.
Remove `SharedComponents` references and legacy `LiveLogCache` logic:
- Eliminate unused `SharedComponents` references across the solution to streamline dependencies.
- Comment out `LiveLogCache` interactions in multiple modules, transitioning to alternative or undefined logging mechanisms.
- Add optional `regReadersOptional` parameters to `ShowCycleBeginFormOp` methods for improved flexibility.
- Introduce `ITestMethodSmart` interface to support smart reader functionality.
