Version 0.5.2: Improved Error Handling, Fix Static Analysis Issues, CI Code Coverage

[egorodet]

Methane Kit v0.5 Pre-Release Update 2

• Common libraries:
  • Primitives library extended with error handling (closed Define custom exception types and throw from META_CHECK_* macroses project wide #74):
    • Methane/Exceptions.hpp was added with common exception type defintions
    • Methane/Checks.hpp was added with error checking macro definitions aka META_CHECK*
    • META_LOG macros has been updated to make string formatting using FMT library inside of the macro using variadic arguments
• All modules updated with static code analysis issue fixes (closed Fix most significant static analysis issues from Sonar Cloud #73):
  • Uppercase literal suffixes
  • Replaced all explicit exception throws and asserts with META_CHECK* macroses throwing specific exception types, which simplified error checking code and fixed many issues related to non-specific exception throws across Methane code base
  • Throw undefined enum value exception in default branches of all switch blocks to fix repeated analysis issue
  • Replaced std::function usage with template arguments wherever possible to improve performance
  • Many other issues have been fixed thanks to static code analysis
  • Used fmt::format(...) for string formatting wherever possible project wide
• Platform libraries
  • Platform App library was updated with unified error handling logic in AppBase class, moved from platform specific classes
• Data libraries
  • Data Primitives library
    • Point template class has been refactored to merge 2D and 3D implementations together and incapsulate cml::vector instead of deriving from it to fix multiple static analysis issues.
• External libraries:
  • OpenCppCoverage Windows tool binaries were added
  • FMT v7.1.0 library was added
  • CLI11 library was updated to v1.9.1
  • Catch2 library was updated to v2.13.3
  • IttApi library was updated to v3.18.8
  • STB library was updated to latest revision from 13 Jul 2020
  • TaskFlow library was updated to v2.7.0
  • Tracy library was updated to v0.7.3
  • Removed Sonar Scanner binaries from repository (they are loaded from official web site instead)
• Build Infrastructure:
  • Use MacOS 10.15 agents in Azure Pipelines to fix some weird build errors
  • Tests code coverage results collection was setup in CI with Azure Pipelines and Sonar Cloud on Windows with OpenCppCoverage tool, on MacOS with llvm-profdata and on Linux with Gcov (closed Setup code coverage results collection with Azure Pipelines and Sonar Cloud #72)
