9a23aa773b Invocation: analyse usage of buffer metadata entries
Code clean-up: mark all buffers with a dedicated tagging type


The point in question is: if we work the LocalTag into the type-hash,
could it be possible to miss an existing entry in the metadata registry?
This could cause two entries to be locked for a single buffer address,
leading to data corruption.

As far as I can see, in the current usage this would not happen,
but unfortunately this problem can not be ruled out, since the BufferProvider
API and protocol is designed to be open for various usage patterns.

However, the same potentially disastrous pattern could also materialise
when registering two different buffer types, and then locking each
for the same buffer location.

6d7a814495 Invocation: settle upon a way to mark the output buffer
...this is a surprisingly tricky issue, since it undercuts the
generic and recursive implementation of buffer handling;

fortunately I've foreseen such demands may arise down the road
and I've reserved an »Local Key« (now renamed into `LocalTag`),
whose meaning is implementation defined and interpreted by
the specific `BufferProvider`

fc9ff9252a Invocation: clarify role of Buffer-Descriptor and Dependency-Injection
It became clear that a secondary system of connections must be added,
running top-down from a global model context, and thus contrary to the
regular orientation of the node network, which connects upwards from
predecessor to successor, in accordance with the pull principle.

If we accept this wiring as part of the primary structure, it can be
established immediately while building the nodes, thus adding a preconfigured
''pattern of Buffer Descriptors'' to each node, since there is no further
''moving part'' — beyond the wiring to the `BufferProvider`, which thus
becomes part of a global `ModelContext`

As an immediate consequence, the storage for this configuraion should
also be switched to `lib::Several` and handled similar to the primary
node wiring in the Builder...

a90b9e5f16 Library: uniform definition scheme for error-IDs
In the Lumiera code base, we use C-String constants as unique error-IDs.
Basically this allows to create new unique error IDs anywhere in the code.

However, definition of such IDs in arbitrary namespaces tends to create
slight confusion and ambiguities, while maintaining the proper use statements
requires some manual work.

Thus I introduce a new **standard scheme**
 * Error-IDs for widespread use shall be defined _exclusively_ into `namespace lumiera::error`
 * The shorthand-Macro `LERR_()` can now be used to simplify inclusion and referral
 * (for local or single-usage errors, a local or even hidden definition is OK)
