Load Configuration From File

Rather than having all the St Aldates-specific setup code in runController.py, that script should read configuration from an external file.

• It should not be necessary to fiddle with devices once the config file has been processed - for example, the slightly complicated stuff we do to assemble devices from serial relay cards.
  • This implies that the exact configuration data in the file for each device will vary according to its type.
• The external file should be human-read-writable (e.g. XML, JSON, something like that).
