Makes the rest of the decoder.js a lot simpler.
Also changed the GPS lat/long into 3 bytes again, saving 2 bytes in the packet length.
GPS outputs now 7 values using 18 bytes (incl. header)
This does allow uploading even more parameters than the 4 supported by ESPeasy, since encoder and decoder can be tailored to the specific plugin.
For example the GPS plugin can now upload 7 parameters in only 20 bytes.
Still to do: Why can the decoder not handle encoding per 24 bit? (lat/lon do fit perfectly fine in 24 bit).
For LoRa, it may take a while to send out samples of different plugins.
This makes it hard to match samples belonging to the same set after receiving them.
The Sample Set Initiator is a task index which should always be considered as the first of a set samples sent to the controller.
For example when triggering to send a set of samples from rules, its order can be always the same.
Setting the initiator to the first one of the sequence, the same sample set counter will be sent along with the samples.
