Creating new objects on the heap isn't really RT-capable and undeterministic. This adds the possibility to parse incoming data packages into a pre-allocated package to avoid having to create new objects on the fly. To achieve this, the pipeline in the RTDE client has been replaced by a double buffer with two pre-allocated objects.
This should be a lot faster in accessing/storing objects in the data package
Before that change we were basically allocating strings and a new DataPackage on each send operation. This change will preallocate a data package and re-use that for future send operations. The necessary RTDE dictionary keys are also preallocated.

This is specific to testing since we restart the RTDE client in very quick succession. While we shutdown the connection from our end, the robot might not have freed the resources, yet.

This is a refactor of RTDE communication effectively improving two things:
There's currently some documentation and testing missing, hence the draft status.
