Improved getMany() functions
Functions *_getMany() take a batch of dpes and return their configurations.
The functions used to make a call in loop of *_get()
They now call dpGet() as little as possible




Example: getting 30 configs for smoothing used to do 60 dpGet(). It now does 2
dpGet().
Parameters passed as reference (but not modified!)  memory use
improvement
Re-designed  not as mature as the previous ones.
Functions re-designed, average speed improvement, issue id:

New features - fwAlertConfig


Global/Local alarms priority (3.2.7 - #67605)
Support for discrete alerts (3.3.0 - #67230)




Support for included limits “≤” (3.3.0 - #68528)
