Add comprehensive Catch2 test suite for CiA402MotionControl device control modes

[Copilot]

This PR implements a comprehensive test suite using the Catch2 framework to validate all control modes and interfaces of the CiA402MotionControl device, designed to work with real EtherCAT hardware.

Problem Addressed

The repository previously had only a simple test application that read encoder values, but lacked comprehensive testing for:

• All implemented control modes (Position, Velocity, Torque, Current, Idle)
• Device interface functionality and error handling
• Mode switching sequences and safety validation
• Integration testing with actual EtherCAT nodes

Solution Overview

The implementation adds a complete test framework that validates all device functionality:

Core Test Implementation

• 825+ lines of comprehensive test code covering all device interfaces
• 11 test cases organized with descriptive tags for selective execution
• Safety-first approach with conservative test values and emergency stop validation
• Test fixture pattern for proper device management and cleanup

Control Mode Coverage

All CiA402 control modes are thoroughly tested:

• Position Control (PP): Absolute/relative moves, profile parameters, motion completion
• Velocity Control (CSV): Velocity commands, emergency stop, reference feedback
• Torque Control (CST): Torque setpoints, feedback reading, safety limits
• Current Control: Current commands, feedback, range validation
• Idle Mode: Safe initialization and shutdown states

Interface Validation

Complete testing of all device interfaces:

• IControlMode - Mode switching and management
• IPositionControl, IVelocityControl, ITorqueControl, ICurrentControl - Control interfaces
• IMotorEncoders, IEncodersTimed - Encoder reading with timestamps
• IAxisInfo, IMotor, IJointFault - Device properties and diagnostics

Safety Features

The test suite prioritizes safety with:

• Conservative test values: ±2° position moves, ≤7 deg/s velocity, ≤0.1 Nm torque, ≤0.1 A current
• Emergency stop validation: Tests stop functionality in all control modes
• Safe mode switching: Validates proper transition sequences with cleanup
• Graceful error handling: Proper exception handling and device cleanup

Usage

The implementation provides multiple ways to run tests:

# Direct execution with environment variables
export CIA402_IFNAME="eth0"
export CIA402_NUM_AXES=1
./build/bin/CiA402ControlModesTest

# Using the helper script with validation
./test/run_cia402_tests.sh -i eth0 -n 1

# Integration with CTest
cd build && ctest -R CiA402ControlModesTest

Files Added

• test/test_cia402_control_modes.cpp - Main test suite with comprehensive coverage
• test/catch2/catch.hpp - Minimal Catch2 implementation for compatibility
• test/README.md - Detailed setup, configuration, and troubleshooting guide
• test/run_cia402_tests.sh - Automated test runner with environment validation
• test/test_config_template.sh - Configuration template for user customization
• test/IMPLEMENTATION_SUMMARY.md - Complete architecture and usage overview
• Updated CMakeLists.txt files with testing support and CTest integration

The implementation is ready for immediate use with real EtherCAT hardware and provides a solid foundation for ongoing device validation and regression testing.
