Important Changes

YARP_dev

• The analogServer device (implemented in yarp::dev::AnalogWrapper has
  removed the support for the deviceId parameter, that has been
  deprecated since 2014. Invalid configuration files of the form:

deviceId left_arm

can be updated with the valid:

name /icub/left_arm/analog:o

• The controlboardwrapper2 device (implemented in
  yarp::dev::ControlBoardWrapper has removed the supported for the
