[out-cs-bim112] Save time with application load state LS_LOADED

[Darthyson]

During application programming, the ETS checks the current load state of the application. If this is not LS_LOADED, the complete firmware (0x4B20-0x75ED) ~10 kB is transferred. This firmware is neither used nor stored by our application, so we simply do not need it. This change saves us ~2 minutes and 17 seconds of programming time during the first ETS application programming.

Does this only affect out-cs-bim112, or do other apps have the same issue?

[Darthyson]

Theoretically, any app with a mask version >= 0x0701 that defines a memory segment for its firmware in its .knxprod could benefit from this change. In our case, this is only the out-cs-bim112. Since this behavior is not spec. compliant, I wanted to get some "field experience" with the out-cs-bim112 as a first step.

Pull request overview

This PR optimizes the ETS (Engineering Tool Software) programming process by setting the application load state to LS_LOADED, preventing unnecessary firmware downloads during the first application programming.

Key Changes:

• Added setApplicationLoadState() function to manage the application load state in EEPROM
• Set load state to LS_LOADED at the end of setup() and during callback notifications
• Saves approximately 2 minutes and 17 seconds of programming time by avoiding ~10 kB firmware transfer
