aff3ct/aff3ct: AFF3CT - Release 3.0.0

Changes listed below.

• add tools::Sequence and tools::Pipeline
• add 0-copy module::Adaptor for efficient tools::Pipeline implementation
• add module::Binaryop, module::Unaryop, module::Reducer
• add module::Switcher, module::Controller and module::Iterator to support loops and conditional structures (if, switch, ...)
• add the hwloc dependency for thread pinning in tools::Sequence and tools::Pipeline
• implement clonable modules (required for automated duplication in tools::Sequence)
• add a status module::Socket for each task automatically
• add a priority during the binding of a module::Socket
• add an unbind method to module::Socket
• add BCH and LDPC decoding status
• add FRA, BE, FE, BER and FER as output sockets for monitor BFER
• add Multi-kernel Polar encoders and decoders
• add module::Extractor to extract information bits in a codeword
• add module::Initializer, module::Incrementer, module::Sleeper and module::Finalizer
• add module::Probe for very precise feedback
• add module::Sink (write end of a communication system into a file)
• add module::Subsequence to regroup multiple tasks in a single one
• add tools::Interface (clone, reset, set_n_frames, is_done, set_seed, ...)
• add the C++ API doc in Sphinx (Doxygen + Breathe + Sphinx)
• add an inter-SIMD implementation of the BCH encoder
• add new code rates to DVB-RCS2
• add a set_n_frames method in the module::Module, tools::Sequence and tools::Pipeline
• add native support of inter-frames (in the module::Task)
• add a new socket CWD (codeword) to get the decoding status per frame
• add the operator[] method for string in module::Module
• add scripts (based on Clang AST) to simplify the automation of AFF3CT wrappers (Python, MATLAB)
• add auto-stop feature in tools::Sequence and tools::Pipeline (based on the is_done interface)
• add tools::Digraph (directed graph)

• add a new operator= to module::Socket: sockets can be bound in both directions (SIN = SOUT or SOUT = SIN)

• replace tools::Noise by a channel parameter (CP) socket in module::Channel and module::Modem

• command Line Interface (CLI) has been externalized
• split source code (src/) in public include/ and private src/ folders
• simplify tools::Interleaver: no need to call the init method anymore

• dockerize the CI/CD

• fix a bug in the LDPC Gallager A decoder for irregular matrices

• fix the bug on the majority vote of the LDPC Gallager B decoder
• fix bug en the DVB-S2 constants (thx Ben Mathews)

• fix Galois field segmentation fault

• speedup the LDPC Gallager E (~x2)

• remove SystemC/TLM interfaces

• remove EXIT chart simulations
• remove legacy simulation (without tools::Sequence)
• remove SIN_SOUT socket type
