Improved Immediate Forward Plugin configuration

[paulbourelly999]

PR Details

Description

New configuration allows for unlimited RSU connections each with independently configurable options for :

• RSU Spec
• Message Signing
• ip and port
• list of messages
  Additionally this PR fixes an unintentionally introduced bug from Fixes for Immediate Forward Plugin in preparation for NCTIP 1218 prototyping  #655 which prevented any messages from being sent to an RSU via the immediate forward plugin because if statements checking whether the configuration file had been read where not correctly edited.

Improve functionality for allow each Immediate Forward connection to an RSU to be independently configurable and add configuration parameters for RSU spec in preparation for NTCIP 1218 support

How Has This Been Tested?

Integration testing was done using pcap sender scripts sending binary spat data to spat plugin and tcpdump to listen to outgoing UDP from immediate forward plugin

const char* Key_SkippedNoDsrcMetadata = "Messages Skipped (No DSRC metadata)"; const char* Key_SkippedNoMessageRoute = "Messages Skipped (No route)";
What is the difference between no DSRC and no route?

const char* Key_SkippedNoDsrcMetadata = "Messages Skipped (No DSRC metadata)"; const char* Key_SkippedNoMessageRoute = "Messages Skipped (No route)"; What is the difference between no DSRC and no route?

No Message Route is triggered when a message is received by the immediate forward plugin but it is not on of the messages included in the immediate forward configuration. For example if a SPAT message is received but there is not SPAT IMF config

No DSRC Metatdata reference to metadata provided when each messages is broadcast by another plugin. This metadata includes PSID and channel. Please see the IVpMessage.h file
