Norma DM950 support

We're happy to announce that libsigrok now supports yet another multimeter, the Norma DM950 (a.k.a. Normameter 950, a.k.a. Siemens B1028).

This is a 21000 counts autorange DMM with RS232 connectivity.

Many thanks to Matthias Heidbrink for writing the driver and figuring out the protocol! As always we have a nice wiki page for this device now, including teardown photos, protocol description, and so on.

The DMM uses a custom microcontroller internally, and the protocol is a SCPI-like ASCII based protocol with the familiar-looking "IDN?" strings and so on. Please also check the driver source code if you're interested in the details.

There are various other DMM models from this series which can be supported relatively easily via this driver. Please contact us (and/or the driver author, "mh") in the #sigrok IRC channel on Freenode if you own one of these devices and can test further patches. Thanks!
