This proposes a *new method* on IObservatoryCore: `SetGridItems(worker, items)` which does 2 things:
* Clears the grid
* Adds the given items.
Effectively replaces the entire content of the grid -- which is something a handful of plugins now do.
Why add this when you could just call Core's Clear + AddGridItems methods?? So it can all be done within the same rendering suppression "scope" to reduce flickering and increase rendering speed. Speaking of rendering suppression, I have implemented such rendering suppression "scope" which uses Listview's built-in Begin/EndUpdate() in combination with temporary removal of the sort comparer (as is done for read-alls). This was also applied to the existing AddGridItems(worker, items) method as well, addressing a TODO.
* [Core] Settings improvements: Grouping w/labels, support for doubles
Layout improvements:
* Plugins can set `[SettingSuggestedColumnWidth(123)]` on a settings class to adjust the settings view column width to make it wider or narrower to fit things nicely.
* Plugins can set `[SettingNewGroup("label")]` on any setting property to force a "new paragraph", or group, of settings. If "label" is also provided, a grouping header with that text will also be created.
* A double precision up/down numeric control has been added. In support of this, there is now a precision value on the existing `[SettingNumericBounds]` attribute to specify the number of digits of precision the control displays/allows.
Plugins:
* The above have been applied/demonstrated on the Botanist and Explorer plugin settings.
The new properties are:
* string Sender: The name of the plugin sending the notification.
* string ExtendedDetails: Even more detail than Title and Detail convey. This value will not be spoken nor included in pop-up notifications. However, other notifier plugins may use this value.
* int ColescingId: An id which can be used to correlate multiple notifications together (ie. for sorting/grouping) without depending on arbitrary string values. I recommend reserving -1 for system, 0 .. 1000 for system bodies and anything else is arbitrary and can be agreed upon between Core and Plugin authors, as desired.
While the motivating use is a new notifier plugin I am authoring (my Aggregator plugin, see GitHub), I have tried to make this as general purpose as possible.
I have modified Explorer as an example of usage. After this is merged, I'll follow up with another PR to use this in Botanist as well (I have other changes pending for Botanist; see #120).

* TO DONE
* [Herald] Suppress duplicate notification titles for spoken notifications
If you have notifications from multiple plugins producing notifications with the same title in quick succession (ie. "Body A 1 e" from both Explorer and BioInsights), the title on successive notifications will not be spoken again to save the breath of our friendly Azure speakers.
* Doc update
* Remove unintended member hiding
* Fix export errors when exporting BioInsights data, cleanup
Discovered a couple issues with exporting BioInsights data resulting from using two different types of objects in the data grid; improved error handling as well.
Also cleaned up some old-style read all code.
* Add read-all on launch setting
* Updated framework xml
* Improve high-value body description text
