bugfixing

UniConfig Native for CLI - new experimental feature allowing to communicate with devices in a native way using hand-written YANG models
Added sequence-read-active param - this forces UniConfig to read root configuration elements sequentially.

Introduced RPC execute-and-expect - It is a form of the ‘execute-and-read’ RPC that additionally may contain ‘expect(..)’ patterns used for waiting for specific outputs/prompts. It can be used for execution of interactive commands that require multiple subsequent inputs with different preceding prompts.
Introduced Tree-parser as CLI parsing strategy - device configuration is parsed into a tree. It provides faster lookup operations for reads.
Introduced native CLI - feature allows to define YANG models instead of translation units. YANG models need to be created based on device specific CLI commands
