Add failover capability for the BACnet Connector.

Failover similar to the UFO available for UNIint interfaces. Warm failover would be sufficient, although I'm sure there are some who would like cold and hot as well.

Make the connector a BACnet Device (get a BTL listing)

Some devices can only send COV notifications to other BACnet devices. Since the Connector is not a device and does not respond to who-is messages (and does not listen on port 47808), the connector is unable to utilize COV subscriptions for these d...

Distribute-Broadcast-To-Network broadcast for Discovery Tool and Connector

When running the discovery tool from a subnet with no BBMD to query BACnet devices on a separate subnet, it seems like the auto discovery tool is seen as a ‘foreign device’, so the devices do not respond correctly. When analyzing a Wireshark trac...
