Notable Fixes & Enhancements

KNX enhancements
When the connection of a KNX connector drops, the connector will now properly re-establish the connection. Previously this issue would manifest in the form of curVals not updating. This build should significantly improve that behavior. Additionally, errors associated with KNX should be more verbose.
Added a throttle tuning tag knxThrottle, which can limit the traffic for reads on the bus. The default behavior (no tag) is a throttle of 100ms.
Discovering points from a connector via the tree should now function properly.
To better support binding units from a KNX project file to the appropriate haystack units, a new interface has been added to the KNX connector tree, which enables custom unit bindings to be defined. This tool is largely made for support to better assist projects that won’t load.
Group addresses (x/y/z) with x >= 16 should now function properly.
