consolidate timetagger development

[mvbnano]

What is affected by this bug?

There are presently 2 timetagger hardware files; one in master (qudi/hardware/swabian_instruments/timetagger_fast_counter.py) and another in dev_timetagger (qudi/hardware/timetagger_counter.py). We should consolidate these two files as it is confusing as to what the difference is.

Where on the platform does it happen?

• qudi/hardware/swabian_instruments/timetagger_fast_counter.py
• qudi/hardware/timetagger_counter.py

Expected behavior (i.e. solution)

Consolidate the two files, with separate slow counter and fast counter classes if required.

@latchr is there a reason that you removed the way channels are fetched from the config?

Lines 41 --> 56 are shown below. I have reinstated the second APD channel, but hardcoding is not a good solution. I would like to change them back to being fetched by ConfigOption.

    #_channel_apd_0 = ConfigOption('timetagger_channel_apd_0', missing='error')
    #_channel_apd_1 = ConfigOption('timetagger_channel_apd_1', None, missing='warn')
    #_sum_channels = ConfigOption('timetagger_sum_channels', False)

    def on_activate(self):
        """ Start up TimeTagger interface
        """
        self._tagger = tt.createTimeTagger()
        self._count_frequency = 50  # Hz
		
		# Read HW from config
        config = self.getConfiguration()
	
        self._channel_apd_0 = config['timetagger_channel_apd_0']
        self._channel_apd_1 = config['timetagger_channel_apd_1']
        self._sum_channels = False

All timetagger hardware files should be in a single timetagger.,py file. which in turn satisfies all the required interfaces.
