Some invalid journal data is now handled
Journals now use polymorphic deserialization
Added Event names to all journal events
Remove unused controllers
While testing, I discovered that plugins that don't yet support sending the Coalescing ID were not mixing well because the default value of the ID is 0 -- which is also a valid body id. If the default is null, receivers can detect the absent value and apply a sensible default (ie. group them where it makes sense).
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).
Comments welcomed!
Refactored out the logic backing the JournalBase TimestampDateTime property so it can be used for any DateTime type property, providing a standardized json String -> DateTime conversion for any date-time property. Implemented as an `internal static` method on JournalBase so journal objects which inherit from JournalBase or don't inherit from it can use it.
Used this to provide a DepatureTimeDateTime on CarrierJumpRequest (this property was added in Update 14) and to implement the existing ExpiryDateTime on CurrentGoal.
From a quick search in the journal documentation, I don't see any other applications for this.
For plugin developers: Adds a new method to the IObservatoryCore interface to add multiple grid items in 1 call -- which only invokes the UI thread once (and potentially only scrolls to bottom once) providing a small performance improvement and providing some modest convenience.

* [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

* Expose core error logger to plugins and report custom criteria errors
Fixes#77
This adds an error logging method on the IObservatoryCore interface that writes the exception details to ObservatoryCore's central error log (found in `${Documents}/ObservatoryErrorLog.txt`). In addition, added a timestamp to each error log.
Also updates the Explorer to report Custom Criteria file load errors and execution errors to the log. Also updates HeraldNotifier to report CacheIndex.json parse failures to the error log as well.
* Expand debugging/error logging in Herald; cleanup empty mp3 files
Herald crashes if attempting to play 0-byte mp3s so if detected, delete, re-request (empty files can occur in some azure failure cases (ie. out of quota). Trap and log errors in other places in HeraldQueue to avoid hard crashes due to weird and wonderful unexpected stuff.

* Call top level error logging for native voice exception.
* Async title and detail requests to remove pause
* Remove NetCoreAudio use of temp files.
* Remove orphan using.
* Add event-based LogMonitor state changes to better handle batch reads
Pre-reading hackily used read-all to suppress notifications. But that broke some assumptions about what read-all meant. Furthermore, the Core UI told plugins about read-all rather than the log monitor telling them -- which is really what should be telling them.
To address these concerns, LogMonitor now provides an event that both the PluginCore and PluginEventHandler listens to or tracking logging state allowing more granular information about the activities of LogMonitor, including distinguishing between ReadAll and Pre-read batches. Plugins no longer need to track if LogMonitor is in batch-read mode or not -- PluginCore now provides it.
I've also converted all built-in plugins to use the new event-based system. The old system is marked deprecated and will go away once other known contributed plugins have converted to the new system.
* Change LogMonitorState enum to [Flags], drop 'None' state
As requested, and did associated simplifications and cleanup that followed.
